Exemplar Problems

Question:

In animals, there are special glands secreting hormones, whereas there are no glands in plants. Where are plant hormones formed? How are the hormones translocated to the site of activity?

Answer:

Plant hormones are present in various tissues, including shoot tips, root tips, meristematic tissues, and apical buds. These hormones are transported to their respective sites of action through vascular bundle tissues such as xylem and phloem.
