88
Q

transduction

A

receptor cells convert info on the stimulus into a message (usually a hormone)

89
Q

response

A

responder cells receive the message from receptor cells and the plant changes in some way

90

coleoptile

A

outermost region in a shoot that helps protect tissue as it pushes through the soil

91
Q

auxin

A

the chemical messenger for growth

92
Q

auxin experiment conclusions

  1. the tip of a coleoptile is where light is sensed
  2. the messenger (auxin) is a hydrophilic chemical

97
Q

how do plants react to dry states?

A

when roots are dry they release ABA
*ABA stops the protein pumps in stomata
