Growth towards light is regulated by hormones called auxins. Auxins stimulate growth in the area of the plant that they are found and are produced by the tip of a stem. In sunlight they break down. As such there are more auxins on the shaded side of the plant. This will cause more growth on one side of the plant which will make it grow towards the light.

What biome has a tall canopy of trees that lets very little light through to the understory?

The biome with a tall canopy of trees that lets very little light through to the understory is called a tropical rainforest. The thick canopy in these forests blocks out most of the sunlight, creating a shaded environment below. This unique ecosystem supports a rich diversity of plant and animal life adapted to low light levels.


A material that only lets some light through?

One example of a material that only lets some light through is a semi-transparent frosted glass. This type of glass scatters and diffuses light, creating a level of opacity that allows some light to pass through while reducing visibility. Semi-transparent materials like frosted glass are commonly used in windows or decorative fixtures to provide privacy while still allowing natural light to enter a space.


What animal is a symbiotic relationship to a yucca?

It's a mutualistic relationship. The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant. When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds. So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue. And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.
