know these: auxin promote
growth, important for cell division, promote elongation of cells, govern growth response to lighr and gravity
gibberllins
stimulate growth, including the elongation of stems
cytokinins
enhance growth and retard aging
ethylene
gaseous hormone, regulates a range of responses, including senscene
brassinosteroids
regulate plant growth and responses
ABA
suppresses growth and influences responses to environmental stress
jasmonates
regulate growth and have roles in defence
auxins are mainly
indoleacetic acid
auxins are synthesized primiarly in
shoot paical meristem and young stems and leaves
blue light receptors
trigger auxin transport, auxin triggers driffential cell elongation as main hormone
effects of gibberellin
bolting, development of a flowering stem.
fruit enlargement.
effects of gibberellin
bolting, development of a flowering stem.
fruit enlargement.
how to attract insect alliles
volatiles induce comppounds in undamaged plants that make less palatable, attracting predatory insects that feeed on the caterpullars or parastizes the eggs
perfect flower imp
bisexual flower, both stamens and carpels
imperfect flower imp
stamens or carpels, not both
pollen lands
and germinate, grows towards ovule, important step for successful reproduction
embryonic sporophyte
develops inside a see
q on exam, self incompatibility
ability of plant to reject is own pollen, similar alleles rejected, different allele accepted
q on exam, water flows from
xylem to phloem
imp: 2examples of symbiosis
plants and nitrate filterizers, micrornizzae and roots for phosphorus
what are primary aspects of the process used by a tall tree to move water to the leaves at the top of the tree?
a-cohesion alone
b- cohesion action and pumps
c- evaporations (transpiration) and pumps
d- capillary action and positive pressure from roots
e- evaporation (transpiration) and cohesion
e
which of the following organelles or structures is/are absent in sieve tubes
a-plastids
b-plasma membrane
c-mitochondira
d-rough ER
e-B and D
D
how would water flow if the water potential of surrounding soil is higher than in living root epidermal cells?
a-water would enter the root cells, making them turgid
b-water would leave the root cell, making them flaccid
c- water would leave the root cells, making them turgid
d- water would enter the root cells, making them flaccid
e- no net movement of water would occur
