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) cell wall loosening

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Auxin promotes cell elongation through various mechanisms such as increasing the uptake of solutes, activating specific genes, and loosening the cell wall, but it does not cause acid-induced denaturation of cell wall proteins. Instead, auxin facilitates cell wall loosening by activating enzymes that modify the cell wall structure, not by denaturing proteins through acidification.
