Q

hydrotropism

A

growth of plant roots toward/away from moisture

17
Q

controlled by turgor pressure

A

nastic response

18
Q

why phototropism occurs

A 
stem bends toward light 
leaf gets more sunlight
increased photosynthesis 
more glucose produced
plant grows bigger faster
19
Q

why gravitropism occurs

A 
healthier plant (grows bigger faster)
water + nutrients found deep in soil
roots grow down
20
Q

how phototropism occurs

A

cells grow more elongated on shaded side

cells grow smaller on light side

21
Q

who’s involved in discovery of phototropism

A

Charles Darwin
Boysen-Johnsen
Went

22
Q

Charles Darwin

A

cut off top of stem

found top of stem controls phototropism

23
Q

Boysen-Johnsen

A

found signal produced by tips of seedlings could pass through gelatin but not mica
suggested some type of growth chemical

24
Q

Went

A

cut off top, put agar between top and stem
found top of stem uses chemical to control phototropism
discovered “Auxin”

25
Q

“Auxin”

A

growth hormone

used to make shaded side grow larger cells

26
Q

Auxin experiment?

A

light straight on top - Auxin diffuses down shoot stimulating growth
light to side - Auxin diffuses away from light causing that side to grow larger cells

27
Q

causes cells to grow larger

produced only on shaded side

A

Auxin

28
Q

roots reaction to water

A

positive hydrotropism (toward water)
