  • limited resource: water, space, sun
40

  • limited resource: water
41
Q

  • alternate
  • opposite
  • whorled
46
Q

auxin

A
  • regulates size and bed
  • inhibits lateral growth
  • located in apical meristem (dicots: tip of stem, monocots: base of stem, and all root tips)
47
Q

petiole

A
  • small stock/ leaf stock that joins the leaf to the stem

- attaches to stem on node

48
Q

phototropism

A
  • auxin diffuses away from the light to the side in the shade
  • extra auxin on shape side makes side grow, bending the apical meristem towards the sun
  • stronger for shoots
49
Q

posiitve gravitropism

A
  • auxin rushes to side of shade and inhibits growth
  • upper side grows longer, thus making roots shoot down into ground
  • stronger in roots
50
Q

negative gravitropism

A
  • auxin rushes to shaded side of plant and makes it grow more, making plant shoot back up towards sun
  • neg. only in shoots
51
Q

zone of abscission

A
  • usually high auxin in leaf, low ethylene (promotes ripening) in petiole
  • when auxin decreases in leaf, ethylene increases and fruit/ flower falls off
52
Q

statistics

A
  • to draw general conclusions from a sample of data

- tests in difference we see is real or just due to chance

53
Q

p-value

A
  • probability of an observed (or more extreme) result arising by chance, assuming the null hypothesis is true
  • ecology: use threshold of 0.05
54
Q
