Question
Chapter 22.5, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The role of auxin in phototropism.
Introduction:
Plants depend on light for their sole source of energy for photosynthesis. They do this by orienting the plant parts towards or away from a stimulus such as light. As, a result one side of the responding organ grows faster than the other by differential growth.

What is auxin’s role in phototropism?
How could auxin carriers be organized to allow auxin to move upward in roots?
How does the signal transduction pathway for auxin that leads to cell wall loosening. Include the receptors ABP and ARF.
How does the auxin pathway possibly differ from the 'generic' signal transduction pathway? Consider expressing the cellular components that differ in the absence and presence of auxin.
