Answers & Comments
A. Fertilizer– Darwin correctly concluded that plants are able to "see" light using the tips of the plant shoots,rather than through the stalks. It wasn't until a bit later that scientists figured out exactly why that was though.
it turns out that plants are able to grow by using hormones such Auxins and Gibberellins.
