Question

Statement 2: Plants have hormones which help in control and coordination.

• A. Only 1 is correct
• B. Both 1 & 2 are correct
• C. Only 2 is correct
• D. 1 is incorrect & 2 is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both 1 & 2 are correct

Plants do not have specialised tissues for conduction of impulses. They lack a nervous system. However, they use hormones for control and coordination. Auxin is a plant hormone produced in the stem tip that promotes cell elongation. Auxin moves to the darker side of the plant, causing the cells there to grow larger than corresponding cells on the lighter side of the plant.
