Question

Write the main difference between auxins and cytokinin.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

auxin: a class of plant growth hormones that is responsible for elongation in phototropism and gravitropism and for other growth processes in the plant life cycle. cytokinin: any of a class of plant hormones involved in cell growth and division.

Answer 2

Auxins and Cytokinins

Explanation:

Auxins and Cytokinins are both plant hormones. Cytokinins promote cell division in plant roots and shoots, while Auxin is produced in the stem tip and promotes cell elongation.

Auxins:

1. Producued at the tip of a stem.
2. Promotes cell elongation.
3. Helps with phototropism, geotropism and hydrotropism.

Cytokinin:  

1. Produced in roots and travel upward in xylem sap.
2. Promotes cell division, leaf aging and enlargement.
3. Moves from roots to shoots, and signals lateral bud growth.
