Q

explain chemotropism

A

chemotropism is the response of plants towards chemicals. for example, roots show positive chemotropism when they grow towards mineral salts and negqative chemotropism when the grow away from poison

25
Q

what are phytohormones?

A

chemical substances that stimulate and coordinate responses in plants, at low concentration

26
Q

state 5 types of phytohormones

A

auxin, ethylene, abscisic acid, gibberellin and cytokinin

27
Q

state 2 functions of auxin

A

(i)stimulates growth and elongation in root and shoot cells
(ii) inhibits growth of lateral buds

28
Q

state 2 functions of gibberellin

A

(i) stimulates growth of flowers in dwarf plants
(ii) inhibits development of roots

29
Q

state 2 functions of cytokinin

A

(i) stimulates seed germination
(ii) delays leaf senescence

30
Q

state 2 functions of abscisic acid

A

(i) induces seed dormancy
(ii) inhibits growth of plants

31
Q

state 2 functions of ethylene

A

(i) stimulates ripening in fruits
(ii) stimulates abscission of leaves and fruits

32
Q

which phytohormone inhibits abscission of fruits and young leaves?

33
Q

which phytohormone stimulates cell division in cambium during secondary growth?

34
Q

in which tropisms is auxin functional in?

A

phototropism and geotropism

35
Q

which phytohormone stimulates development of apical dominance in shoots and roots?

36
Q

which phytohormone stimulates development of adventitious roots at the end of stem cuttings?

37
Q

which phytohormone stimulates growth and elongation in the stem cell?

A

gibberellin

38
Q

which phytohormone stimulates development of leaves, flowers and fruits?

A

gibberellin

39
Q

which phytohormone stimulates development and germination of seeds?

A

gibberellin

40
Q

which phytohormone stimulates division and elongation of root and stem cells when auxin is present?

41
Q

which phytohormone stimulates seed germination?

42
Q

which phytohormone inhibits development of apical dominance?

43
Q

which phytohormone delays leaf senescence?

44
Q

which phytohormone stimulates growth of lateral buds?

45
Q

which phytohormone inhibits growth of plant?

A

abscisic acid

46
Q

which phytohormone induces seed dormancy?

A

abscisic acid

47
Q

which phytohormone stimulates abscission of mature fruits, leaves and flowers?

A

abscisic acid

48
Q

which phytohormone induces stomatal closing during drought season?

A

abscisic acid

49
Q

which phytohormone inhibits growth of buds and seed germination?

A

abscisic acid

50
Q

which phytohormone stimulates ripening in fruits?

51
Q

which phytohormone stimulates senescence process in plants?

52
Q

which phytohormone stimulates abscission of leaves and fruits?

53
Q

what phytohormone controls growth response in plants?

54
Q

explain the effect of auxin on growth response

A
  1. auxin synthesised at coleptile tips stimulate ** cell elongation**
  2. auxin distribution influences direction of shoot growth
    3.uniform distribution auxin cause coleptile to grow upwards
  3. area which receives more auxin will grow faster and cause coleptile to curve to side that receives less or none auxin
54
Q

explain the role of auxin in phototropism

A
  1. distribution of auxin in shoots is uniform if shoots are exposed to light from all direction
  2. causes shoots to grow up
  3. shoots are exposed to light from one direction, auxin will move away from light
  4. auxin concentration is higher on shaded side 5. cells in shaded side elongate more than cells in bright side
    6 so, shoot bends towards light
54
Q

role of auxin in geotropism

A
  1. seeds germinate horizontally, gravity cause auxin pool at bottom side of tip and roots
  2. high auxin concentration cause cells at bottom to grow faster and also allow shoot to bend up)
  3. high auxin concentration at bottom of roots prevent root elongation and cause root to go down
