Analyse phototropism

A plant shoot in a Melbourne DP Biology tutorial bends toward unilateral light. Auxin is shown accumulating on the shaded side. Explain the growth response. Use the labelled diagram, data, or experimental evidence before writing the answer. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that best matches the HL Biology evidence.

Worked practice: biological evidence and answer

Use the labelled biological evidence first, then connect it to the final answer.
