Auxin enhances cell elongation in all of these ways except
A) increased uptake of solutes.
B) gene activation.
C) acid-induced denaturation of cell wall proteins.
D) increased activity of plasma membrane proton pumps.
E) cell wall loosening.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Auxin enhances cell elongation through increased uptake of solutes, gene activation, increased activity of plasma membrane proton pumps, and cell wall loosening. However, acid-induced denaturation of cell wall proteins is not a mechanism by which auxin promotes cell elongation.
