Question
How does chemical coordination occur in plants?
Solution
- Chemical coordination occurs in plants with the help of plant hormones. Different plant hormones help to coordinate growth, development, and responses to the environment.
- They are synthesized at places away from where they act and diffuse to the area for action; for example, auxin promotes cell growth, gibberellins promote stem growth, cytokinins promote cell division, and abscisic acid inhibits growth, and its effects include wilting of leaves.
