2.71 describe positive phototropism of stems

2.71 •stems: •they are positively phototropic 
                     •when a shoot’s tip is exposed to light, it gains more auxin on the side that’s in the shade
                               •this makes the cells grow faster on the shaded side, so the shoot bends towards the light to maximise the opportunity for photosynthesis
