Question 4:
How do auxins promote the growth of a tendril around a support?
Answer:
Auxin is synthesized at the shoot tip. It helps the cell grow longer. When a tendril
comes in contact with a support, auxin stimulates faster growth of the cells on the
opposite side, so that the tendril forms a coil around the support. This makes the
tendrils appear as a watch spring.
