(Separates only) Plants produce hormones to coordinate and control growth and responses to light (phototropism) and gravity (gravitropism or geotropism). |
|
(Separates only) What are the hormonal responses in plants to light and gravity called? Introduce the types of tropism and get students to figure out the definition for each.
