Biology Control and Coordination Some Activity Based Questions Q1. How is shoot able to bend towards the source of light? Ans. Auxin formed apically diffuses downwards to reach zone of elongation. More of it passes on the darker side than the illuminated side. Therefore, darker side grows more causing the stem to bend towards the source of light. Q2. Which one has a chemo tactic effect on pallen tube? Ans. Boron containing nutrient Q3. Why does even favourite food appear tasteless when you have bad cold? Ans. Most of taste is smell or flavor. Q4. How does horizontally kept potted plant show upward bending of shoot and downward bending of root? Ans. More auxin accumulates on the lower side of the stem and the root due to horizontal orientation. More auxin stimulates growth on the lower side of the stem. As a result stem bends upwardly. Higher concentration of auxin is inhibitory to growth of lower side of root. The upper side of the root grows more and causes the root to bend downwardly. H.O.T.S. Questions Q1.
