Q

how plants breathe

A
  • air diffuses through the stomata
    - CO2 in air dissolves into H2O around cells
    - water enters the leaf through the xylem
  • O2 passes out of cells into air spaces and then through the stomata
    -H2O vapour also exits through the stomata(plants try to prevent this from happening)

Q

how do guard cells control the stomata?

A
  • opening and closing of the stomata is controlled by H2O in guard cells (moves in and out through osmosis)
  • H2O moving in creates high turgor pressure forcing stomata open
  • stomata close as the amount of H2O in guard cells decreases from transpiration

A

helps plants maximize light needed for photosynthesis

55
Q

A

a hormone produced in plant tips that changes cells growth rate

56
Q

in phototropism, stem cells grow at different rates causing…

A

plants to bend towards the light source

57
Q

what does auxin do in phototropism

A

auxin moves to the shaded side of the plant which causes cells on the shaded side to grow longer, forcing the stem to bend toward to the light

58
Q

growth towards light =

A

positive phototropism

59
Q

growth away from the light=

A

negative phototropism

60
Q

Q

negative gravitropism=

A

stems grow away from gravity (up)

63
Q

in gravitropism when a plant is placed on its side:

A

auxin collects in cells on the lower side of the stem causing cells on the lower side to grow longer and the team curves up
- roots grow down towards gravity

64
Q

what does auxin do in roots?

A

inhibits cell growth
inthe shoots, auxin stimulates cell elongation and promote growth. In the roots, auxin inhibits cell elongation and thus growth

65
Q

what does auxin do in gravitropism when the plant is sideway?

A

auxin collects along the lower side of the stem and slows growth meaning the cells on top grow faster and push roots down

66
Q

nastic response:

A

a plant response to touch

67
Q

circadian reponse(sleep movements):

A

change in the position of a plant’s leaves according to the time of day

controlled by changes in turgor pressure

68
Q

what did charles and francis darwin hypothesize/do?

A

they discovered that the phototropic stimulus (light) is detected at the tip of the plant

69
Q

what did Peter boysen-jensen discover or hypothesize?

A

that a chemical signal produced in the plant tip was responsible for the plant bending response at the base

70
Q

what was F.W. Went’s contribution or conclusion?

A

confirmed Peter Boysen - Jensens hypothesis that a growth chemical is produced in plant tips

named the chemical auxin

71
Q

how does auxin work in plants?
