Plant cells produce hormones that affect plant growth and behavior. Cytokinins and
auxins are two important types of plant hormones. Together, these hormones control
cell division in the plant. If cytokinin is high and auxin is low, the plant produces
stems. When auxin is high and cytokinin is low, roots grow. Plant hormones travel
around plants in vessels called xylem. Hormones also move from cell to cell in plants
by diffusion or active transport. Where are hormones produced in animals, and how
are they transported throughout the body?
