BIOL 191 - C29 Flashcards
Define Behavior
…
Plants respond to ____ & ___ stimuli
biological & physical
Biological stimuli can originate from ___
insde or outside of the plant body
Physical stimuli come from ____
Chemical stimuli come from ____
non-living source
living source
In ___, plants grow ____ a light source. This is an example of ___ stimuli
Phototropism – toward
physical stimuli
___ molecule located in plants cells that sense stimuli & cause responses
Receptors
3 stages of cell communication
details of each stage
- receptor activation
- signal transduction
- cellular response
____ ____ is a process in which cell perceives then responds to a signal. A signal can be ___ or ___
Cell communication
chemical & physical
___ are chemical signals transported within plants
hormones
Hormones have specific ____ that they interact with for cell communication
receptors
Hormones have many effects, based on ____ & ___
concentration & hormone combinations
___ are master hormones in plants because they influence ___ , ___, ____
Auxins
plant structure, development, behavior
Auxins promote expression of diverse genes called ____
auxin-responsive genes
Auxin is produced in ____ and ____
Auxin primarily flows ___ from ___ tip to ___ tip
apical shoot tips & young leaves
downward shoot tip - root tip
What happened when auxin concentrations are low and high?
Low concentration - repressor proteins prevent gene expression
High concentration - repressors are degraded and genes are activated
What controls the directional transport of auxin?
auxin carrier proteins in plasma membrane
____ carriers transport auxin into a cell; locating at the apical ends of cells
____ carriers transport auxin out of the cell; locating at the basal & lateral surfaces
Auxin influx
Auxin efflux
The effects of auxin include:
- Mediating phototropism
- Establishing apical-basal polarity of seed embryos
- Inducing vascular tissue differentiation
- Promoting formation of roots
- Stimulating fruit development
