Definition of Equivalent Decimals Decimalsâ¦sometimes, they can be a little confusing. How can we tell if two decimals are equivalent, even if they appear differently on the page?
The main function of auxin is to help plants grow. Auxin stimulates plant cells to elongate, and the apical meristem of a plant is one of the main places that auxin is produced. This makes sense because the apical meristem is also the location that all the other parts of a plant grow from-the stem, leaves, and flowers.
auxin a type of plant growth-regulating substance involved in the growth of cells and several other functions. The most important auxin is indolacetic acid (IAA; see Fig. 194 ), but many other substances have been classified as auxins, using a BIO-ASSAY method developed by Fritz WENT. The effects of auxins depend on their concentration in the plant. They are most concentrated at the shoot tip and least concentrated in the root, except for small amounts at the root tip. The major effects of auxin are summarized below:
