Biology
When a plant bends towards the light source it is called phototropism. Auxin is a hormone found in plants that allows phototropism. This hormone causes cell elongation in plants; in other words, auxins work as ?growth hormones?. They are produced in the tip of the shoots and the roots of plants. In phototropism, depending on which side auxins go, the plant will bend towards the opposite side.
- C4 Plant
The corn plant is an example of a C4 Plant. In plants, the first step of the Calvin Cycle is carbon fixation. When most plants undergo carbon fixation they form a 3 carbon compound. However, C4 plants form a 4 carbon compound. C4 plants are found in hot...
