Answer:
Option B, Apply auxin directly to the lower part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.
Explanation:
Options for the question are
A) Apply auxin directly to the shoot tip on the side to which you want the tip to bend.
B) Apply auxin directly to the lower part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.
C) Inject compounds that block auxin receptors into the part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.
D) Plant the roots in two different pots, and apply auxin to the root bucket that is on the same side as the direction you want the plant to bend.
Solution
Auxin is responsible for stem elongation by inhibiting growth of lateral buds. The movement of auxin is opposite to the direction of elongation of cells. Generally, Auxin moves to the dark side which is opposite to the direction i.e the lighter side in which cell elongate . Due to this growth pattern, the stem tip gets curved towards the light.
Hence, option B is correct
Answer:
1) Diffusion is net movement of anything (e.g., atom, ions, molecules) from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
2)
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides
3) One big difference between osmosis and diffusion is that both solvent and solute particles are free to move in diffusion, but in osmosis, only the solvent molecules (water molecules) cross the membrane.
4) Molecules tend to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do part #2. I think it's a lab.
