answered 27 Mar 2026How do auxins promote the growth of a tendril around a support?
A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
Solution:
Auxins are the plant hormones produced at the tips of shoots and roots. Auxins are present at the tip of tendrils. When tendrils are attached around any support, their growth is slowed down as auxins are sensitive to touch. This makes them move to the other side of the tip to get support; this makes the other side grow faster than the side of tendril in contact with the support and the tendril bends towards the support.
