    Influence of a terminal bud in suppressing the growth of lateral buds

    Explanation
    Apical dominance refers to the phenomenon where the terminal bud of a plant inhibits the growth of lateral buds. The terminal bud releases a hormone called auxin, which travels downwards and suppresses the growth of lateral buds. This allows the plant to focus its energy on growing upwards, promoting vertical growth. By inhibiting the growth of lateral buds, apical dominance helps maintain the plant's shape and directs its growth towards the top.

    What is Auxin Involved in that helps it in plant growth?

    Explanation
    Auxin is a plant hormone that plays a crucial role in phototropism. Phototropism is the growth or movement of a plant in response to light. Auxin helps in this process by redistributing itself in response to light, causing the plant to bend towards the light source. This hormone is responsible for elongating cells on the shaded side of the plant, causing it to grow towards the light and optimize its exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. Therefore, auxin is involved in phototropism and helps in plant growth by facilitating light perception and directional growth.
