This is concerning the phototropism of plant. It is known that plant will grow towards the direction of unlateral light . How about we design two experimental set-ups, one placing a unilateral light source with a high light intensity and the other with a lower light intensity, what would happen to the plant?

I know that when a plant grows towards the light source, there is less auxins in the lighted side of the plant, but more in the shaded side, so the plant would bend towards the direction of the light source.

Also i know that if the plant is placed under such a condition for a long time, there is an over-accumulation of auxins in the shaded side that will inhibit the growth of the shaded side of the plant.

It will grow towards the high light intensity.

Hi. I'm sure you'll get plenty of answers to this but did they teach you that the light actually SLOWS the growth of cells? That's why a stem will "try" to face the light. Cells opposite the light grow faster.

the plant is always going to move toward the light no matter how dim it is.
