Chapter 38.2, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way by which auxin is involved in phototropism.
Introduction: Phototropism is the directional growth of plants toward a light stimulus. Phototropins are the blue-light receptors that control the photosynthetic efficacy of plants located at the shoot tips that help the plants in this regard. Light source is necessary for a plant body to carry out many of its major functions.
