Q

Crepuscular animals

A

A plant in which flowering can occur irrespective of the day length

21
Q

Crepuscular animals

A

Animals that are most active at dawn and dusk

22
Q

Dominance

A

Behaviour showing by an individual that is higher in a hierarchy that the individual it is relating with

23
Q

Endogenous

A

Rhythm controlled by an internal biological clock due to their DNA

24
Q

Entrainment

A

The resetting of the biological clock on a regular basis, forcing it ti take up the period of the environmental cycle

25
Q

Environmental cues

A

A change in the external environment that triggers a change in behaviour or physiology

26
Q

Free running period

A

The period of a biological rhythm in the absence of external environmental cues

27
Q

Geotaxis

A

The directional movement of an animal in response to gravity

28
Q

Herbivorism

A

Form of exploitation where one animal eats a plant (+ -).

29
Q

Indoleacetic acid

A

A naturally occurring auxin, synthesised in the shoot tips and responsible for cell elongation in

30
Q

Innate behaviour

A

Behaviour which is controlled by our biological clock

31
Q

Interspecific relationships

A

Interactions between different species

32
Q

Intraspecific relationships

A

Interactions between members of the same species

33
Q

Kinesis

A

The non-directional movement of an organism in response to a stimulus in which rate of movement depends on the intensity of the stimulus

34
Q

K-strategy

A

A reproductive strategy where the parents produce few young and give them lots of parental care. Most young survive

35
Q

r-strategy

A

A reproductive strategy where the parents use their energy to produce lots of offspring but give no parental care to the young. Lots of the young die early

36
Q

Mutualism

A

A relationship where two species both benefit from the relationship (+,+)

37
Q

Mullerian mimicry

A

Two or more poisonous species have similar colouration therefore get protection

38
Q

Tropism

A

Directional growth of a plant towards or away from a stimulus

39
Q

Long day plant

A

A plant in which flowering can be induced or enhanced by long days (short nights), usually with more than 12 hours of daylights

40
Q

Parasitism

A

A form of exploitation where one species lives an another to obtain food (+,-)

41
Q

Phototropism

A

The directional growth of plant organs in response to light. Shoots usually grow towards light

42
Q

Phytochrome

A

A pigment that exists in two forms- Pr and Pfr.

During the day Pr-> Pfr and at night Pfr->Pr. If a plant is an LDP you will have high conc. of Pfr and this will initiate flowering, while if an SDP high conc. of Pf (lower conc. of Pfr) initiate flowering

43
Q

Photonasty

A

Response to light

44
Q

Navigation tropism

A

A plant growth response away from a stimulus

45
Q

Nastic movement

A

Non-directional movement of plants in response to external stimuli

46
Q

Nyctinasty

A

Response to night

47
Q

Gibberellin

A

Breaks seeds and bud dormancy (opposite to Absisic acid)

48
Q

Geotropism

A

The directional growth of plant organs in response to gravity

49
Q

Exploitation

A

An interaction between species in which one benefits by using the other as a source of food or shelter (+,-)
