Worksheet 9-11 Flashcards
chemicals that plant tissues use to communicate
hormones
where substances are produced but affects cells in another location
one location
where hormones are generally transported
plant vascular system
example of a gaseous hormone
ethylene
produced and released by rapidly growing plant tissues
ethylene
release ethylene
growing tips of roots, flowers, damaged tissue, and ripening fruit
known effect of ethylene
leaf abscission and fruit ripening
ripening converts it to simple sugar that imparts sweetness to the fruit
starch
attracted to sweeter (ripened) fruits than unripe ones and are likely to eat them
animals
why are animals eating the fruit important
seed dispersal
initiates the reaction that involves the conversion of starch into simple sugars
ethylene
can be used to confirm the presence of starch in a substance
iodine solution
binds to starch, but not to simple sugar
iodine
turn dark colored
iodine-starch complex
produced in the shoot apical meristem and is also found in young leaves and in flowers and fruits
auxin
causes the growth of roots and fruits and prevents the loss of leaves and fruit
auxin
used today in a number of applications which benefit farmers and crop producers
synthetic auxins
– how many unripe bananas are used
5 unripe bananas
how many ripe bananas are used
2 ripe bananas
how many ripe tomato is used
1 ripe tomato
setup 1 in banana
unripe banana fruit
setup 2 in banana
unripe banana fruit in a bag
setup 3 banana
unripe banana fruit, bruised in a bag
setup 4 banana
unripe banana fruit with a ripe banana fruit in a bag
setup 5
unripe banana fruit with a ripe banana both bruised in a bag
how many days to observe the banana and effects of ethylene
8 days
the amount of iodine solution used to stain
half a centimeter deep
the way the banana is cut
cross section
how long is the stain to be soaked
one minute
what will be used to rinse the soaked with iodine banana
water
describe the scoring chart in banana staining
unripe (0), somewhat ripe (1), fully ripe (2)
– how many sealable bags are used for the ethylene leaf abscission test
two sealable bags
describe setup 1 in leaf abscission
one plant cutting
describe setup 2 in leaf abscission
one plant cutting with a ripe tomato
how long is the changes of leaf abscission observed
8 days
plant used to observe the effects of auxin on axillary shoot formation
mayana plant
the part that is cut in the mayana plant
apical buds
– how long is the cut mayana plant observed
one week
have the ability to respond to different physical and environmental stimuli
plant
responses of plant to responds to different stimuli
tropism
examples of stimuli
light
gravity
water
air
touch
plants sometimes exhibit this
circadian rhythms
pigment that sometimes can influence plan responses
phytochrome
used to demonstrate tropism
potted plant
describe the setup to demonstrate tropism
- One hole at the end of a shoebox, two pieces of carboards to be used as a partition, entire inside is covered with a black paper
