Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plant hormones, including auxin, are produced in many different parts of the plant and can be transported to other parts of the plant to elicit their effects. Therefore, the scientist must consider which plant parts to include in the extraction protocol and at which developmental stages. Options A, B, C, and E are not relevant to the planning of the extraction protocol.
