a. F. W. Went isolated the chemical substance responsible for
communicating stimulus information- TRUE
b. The chemical substance responsible for communicating stimulus

c.Charles and Francis Darwin confirmed that the tip of a plant stem is
responsible for initiating the phototropic response- TRUE
d.When the tip of a stem is covered with a transparent cap, the stem bends
toward the light source anyway- TRUE
e. When the base of a stem is covered with an opaque shield, the stem
bends away from the light source- FALSE
f. An example of another control mechanism is that some plants require

This statement is mostly false. While all organisms do share basic needs to sustain life, there is a wide variety of strategies employed to meet these needs. For example, while most plants receive nutrients from soil, some live in soils which do not fully meet their needs. Such plants sometimes kill and use animals in order to meet these needs (i.e. venus flytrap) or partner with bacteria that produce some of the nutrients they need (i.e legumes).
They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out
