|Learning objectives |Understanding |
| |( |( |( |Revised |

|environment | | | | |
|To know that taxes and kineses are simple responses that can maintain a mobile organism in a | | | | |
|favourable environment | | | | |
|To know that tropisms are responses to directional stimuli than can maintain the roots and | | | | |
|shoots of flowering plants in a favourable environment | | | | |
|To know that in flowering plants specific growth factors diffuse from growing regions to other | | | | |
|tissues and regulate growth in response to directional stimuli | | | | |
|To know the role of indoleacetic acid (IAA) in controlling tropisms in flowering plants | | | | |
