Question

Wilting of leaves is an example of: i)cell division ii)growth promotion iii)fix plant hormone iv)inhibition of growth

Answer 1

I guess it's inhibition of growth because wilting occurs due to less absorption of water than required.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is inhibition of growth.

Explanation: There are some chemicals which are responsible for the growth and development and also their declining nature these chemicals are called the plant growth hormones and there are various kinds of hormones amongst which few are involved in the growth process and few are involved in the inhibition of plant growth and these hormones are auxins which are responsible in plant growth and mainly in developing shoot length and breaking dormancy of seed then next is cytokinin which is also a growth hormone mainly involved in cell division then next is gibberellins which are involved in elongation of plants and is also a growth hormone and next is ethylene which is inhibiting hormone and is responsible for ripening of fruits and their breakage from the tree and last is abscisic acid or ABA which is also an inhibiting hormone and it is responsible for senescence when required so helps in wilting of leaves so correct answer is inhibition of growth.
