    (b) Many answers to this part were excellent and displayed a sound understanding of tropisms. Explanations such as ‘more auxin is found on the dark side and this causes the cells here to grow’ were succinct and accurate, gaining all four marks in one sentence. Despite this students often then felt the need to elaborate or repeat in order to fill the space provided. Some students, however, were a little less certain of their ground. ‘Hormone’ was an acceptable alternative for ‘auxin’ but a variety of other, incorrect terms were used as well, including ‘enzyme’, ‘oestrogen’, ‘aphid’, ‘atom’, ‘axon’ and ‘toxin’. Many picked up the idea of unequal distribution of the hormone but then gave the wrong side or described it as ‘going down to the root’, often ‘sinking due to gravity’. Some hedged their bets and just said it was found on ‘one side’. When writing about the effect of the hormone, students gained credit for terms which clearly implied ‘growth’ such as elongation or cell division but not for weaker references like ‘bending’ (which was in the question stem), ‘leaning’, ‘tilting’ or ‘stretching’. Some students had clearly revised tropisms in terms of geotropisms of shoots placed horizontally. These students often discussed ‘auxin concentration increasing on the lower side’ or the effects of gravity on the movement of auxin, thus failing to apply their knowledge to the particular situation presented in the question. Students were asked to ‘explain how’ not to ‘explain why’ the plant responded in this way. Weaker students continue to misinterpret questions and, consequently, fail to gain credit. Quite a few, therefore, answered in terms of the shoot bending towards light ‘for more photosynthesis’ and failed to address how this had happened.…
