Problem 68GP
Gravitropism As plants grow, they tend to align their stems and roots along the direction of the gravitational field. This tendency, which is related to differential concentrations of plant hormones known as auxins, is referred to as gravitropism. As an illustration of gravitropism, experiments show that seedlings placed in pots on the rim of a rotating turntable do not grow in the vertical direction. Do you expect their stems to tilt inward—toward the axis of rotation—or outward—away from the axis of rotation?

ANSWER:
Solution 68P
Step 1 of 2:
In this question, we have experiments to show that seedlings placed in pots on the rim of a rotating turntable do not grow in the vertical direction
We need to explain if the stems tilt inward towards the axis of rotation or outward away from the axis of rotation
