question 25

Multiple Choice

Several scientists,including Charles and Francis Darwin,Frits Went and others,demonstrated that auxins caused stems to bend toward light in a series of elaborate experiments.Went was the researcher who finally determined that bending of the stem toward light was a result of which mechanism?

• A)Light caused a reduction in auxin concentration and a reduction in stem elongation on the lighted side of the plant stem,and thus a bending in the direction of the light.
• B)The transport of auxin to the shaded side of the plant stem stimulated stem elongation and a bending in the direction of the light.
• C)Auxin concentration was equal on both sides (lighted and shaded)of the stem; however,the apical meristem responded to the presence of light.
• D)A combination of positive phototropism and a negative gravitropism.
• E)The stems actually were responding to the agar blocks that had been used in the experiments.
