How do auxins promote the growth of a tendril around a support


Q. No. 4: How do auxins promote the growth of a tendril around a support? 
Ans: Auxin is plant hormone which is synthesized at the tip of the shoot. It helps the cell grow longer. When a tendril comes in contact with a support, auxin stimulates faster growth of the cells on the opposite side that’s why the tendril forms a coil around the support.
