Q. No.Auxin can be bioassayed by?
1. Avena coleoptiles curvature
2. Hydroponics
3. Ptometer
4. Lettuce hypocotyl elongation
What causes a green plant exposed to the light on only one side, to bend toward the source of light as it grows?
| 1. | Green plants need light to perform photosynthesis |
| 2. | Green plants seek light because they are phototropic |
| 3. | Light stimulates plant cells on the lighted side to grow faster |
| 4. | Auxin accumulates on the shaded side, stimulating greater cell elongation there |
Dr. F. Went noted that if coleoptile tips were removed and placed on agar for one hour, the agar would produce a bending when placed on one side of freshly - cut coleoptile stumps. What is the significance of this experiment?
| 1. | It made possible the isolation and exact identification of auxin. |
| 2. | It is the basis for the quantitative determination of small amounts of growth-promoting substances. |
| 3. | It supports the hypothesis that IAA is auxin. |
| 4. | It demonstrates the polar movements of auxins. |

During seed germination its stored food is mobilized by:
1. Cytokinin
2. ABA
3. Gibberellin
4. Ethylene
1. NAA, 2, 4-D
2. GA3
3. Cytokinin
4. IAA, IBA
Through their effect on plant growth regulators, what do the temperature and light control in the plants?
