16
Q

Stems growing toward the light and against gravity will receive…

A

The energy required

17
Q

Control Systems

A

Systems within plants that produce definite responses to specific stimuli

18
Q

Charles darwin documented their findings in his book…

A

The power of movement in plants

19
Q

Peter boysen-jensen was trying to determine how…

A

The tip was communicating with the area of elongation

20
Q

Area of elongation

A

An area of cells in the developing plant facing away from the light source, that each elongate in a phototropic response to the light stimulus

21
Q

Boysen-jensen concluded…

A

That whatever was responsible for communicating stimulus information from the tip to the area of elongation was able to diffuse through the gelatin

22
Q

He suggested that the growth response could only be accomplished…

A

As a result of a chemical moving from the tip to the area of elongation

23
Q

Holland F.W went was able to isolate this chemical substance has indicated…

A

The later given name auxin

24
Q

Auxin

A

Type of plant hormone that promotes cell growth or elongation
