Document Summary
___________ biochemicals produced in one part of a plant that have their effect on another part of the same plant (2 categories) (table. 40. 1, p. 814-815): growth promoting hormones, _________ (fig. Promotes _________________ a: responsible for various tropisms by promoting differential cell elongation. i. _____________ growth in response to gravity (figs. Auxin, together with a growth-inhibiting hormone, may play a role in promoting, or inhibiting, growth in strategic regions. ___________, which are unbound starch grains in the plastids, respond to gravity and may trigger the redistribution of auxin. ii. ________________ growth in response to light (figs. Bending toward the light is caused by elongation of cells (auxin stimulation) on the side of the plant not exposed to light. Phototropin 1, a pigment molecule, probably plays a role because of its capacity to absorb blue wavelengths of light: ________________ growth in response to touch (fig. This response is prevalent in climbing vines and in the tendrils that support some plants.
