Use the scenario to answer the question.
You observe the growth of a group of plants that have been tipped over.
How will auxin influence cell growth in the roots of these plants?

Responses
Auxin will build up on the upper side of the root and inhibit cell growth.

Auxin will build up on the upper side of the root and stimulate cell growth.
Auxin will build up on the lower side of the root and stimulate cell growth.
Auxin will build up on the lower side of the root and stimulate cell growth.
Auxin will build up on the lower side of the root and inhibit cell growth
Auxin will build up on the lower side of the root and inhibit cell growth.
(the correct response)
In this scenario, auxin will build up on the lower side of the root and inhibit cell growth. When a plant is tipped over, the auxin, which is a plant hormone responsible for regulating cell growth and development, will redistribute itself in response to gravity. The auxin will accumulate on the lower side of the root, inhibiting cell growth in that area.
