F. W. Went cut off the tips and placed the cut surfaces onto agar. The tips were removed after an hour and the agar was placed on the cut tips of the coleoptiles grown in the dark. His different experiments and results did not include:
1. Cut off coleoptiles and without agar blocks, did not grow.
2. Agar blocks that contacted cut tips were placed on the center of the cut off coleoptiles and they grew straight up.
3. Agar blocks that did not contact the cut tips of coleoptiles did not show any response.
4. Agar blocks that had contacted the cut tips when placed on one side of the cut off coleoptiles, curved towards the agar blocks.

Generally, plant hormones do not control plant development by affecting:
1. the majorly citric acid cycle and the anabolic Calvin cycle
2. cell division via the cell cycle
3. cell elongation through acid growth
4. mediating short-term physiological responses to environmental stimuli

Plants bend toward light because
1. light is the source of energy that drives photosynthesis.
2. the sun stimulates stem growth.
3. cell expansion is greater on the dark side of the stem.
4. there is inactivation of auxin on the dark side of the stem.

A piece of parenchyma tissue from a plant is cultured in the absence of cytokinins. The expected result is that:
1. the cells grow smaller with each division.
2. the cells grow very large but do not divide.
3. the cells grow very smalland do not divide.
4. the cells grow large and divide more rapidly than normal.

In a tissue culture experiment, the undifferentiated callus will develop shoot buds if:
1. amount of auxin and cytokinin is equal in the medium
2. amount of auxin is more than the amount of cytokinin in the medium
3. amount of cytokinin is more than the amount of auxin in the medium
4. the medium lacks auxin and cytokinin but has other plant growth regulators
