Answer:B. speeds up the growth of the plant on the shaded side

Explanation: plants have hormones.these hormones controls the activities of the plants by serving as specific chemical signals between cells. They are usually moved from where they are produced to the region of the plant where they act. Eg auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin etc

Auxin has the ability to cause enlongation in shoot cells and root . They cause the cells of plant to stretch. they are produced in the apical meristem,buds and leaves. They also causes the suppression of side buds.

When a plant is placed in a dark shade and a side is exposed to light, auxin gathers on the shaded part of the plant. This causes the cells in that area to enlongate and the plant bends towards the light.

What is it called when a living thing copies the appearance of another living thing as a mean of protection?

anygoal [31]

Answer:

It is called mimicry when a living thing copies the appearance of another living thing as a means of protection.

Explanation:

Mimicry is used primarily by living things as a means for protection and to decrease the chances of the living thing being killed. For example, a frog that is prey to a toad could have bright colors (bright color frogs are often poisonous) that don't mean anything to the frog and it's species, but to the toad, the frog is poisonous and should not be eaten, so the toad does not eat the frog because it is brightly colored.

Without mimicry, the frog would have been eaten because it wouldn't have had looked like a poisonous frog, or something that the toad would avoid.
