Fig : Experiment used to demonstrate that tip of the coleoptile is the source of auxin. Arrows indicate direction of light. Which two coleoptiles will both bend towards the light source?

(a) I and IV

(b) I and II

(c) II and III

(d) III and IV

Answer: (d)

Auxin concentration increases in shaded area, i.e., auxins are collected in the opposite side of light. Increased concentration of auxin is stimulatory for shoot growth and for this reason, shaded side shows more growth than lighted side. Hence, bending of shoot takes place towards light.
