Key Points
• Plant hormones called auxins are produced at the tips of
roots and shoots.
• They are then distributed on the underside if gravity or
light are acting upon them.
• In the shoots auxins stimulate growth.
• In the roots auxins inhibit growth.

Roots and Shoots
Exploring the action of auxins on the growth of roots and shoots
GCSE Biology
Task
In each of the following scenarios you need to complete the
following:
• Decide on the behaviour of auxins (plant hormones that
stimulate or inhibit growth).
• Place the hormones in the correct location on the shoot or
root.
• Draw what you would think the outcome would be in each
case.
