solution
Define a plant hormone -Ans>>a plant hormone is an organic compound that is
synthesized in one part of the plant and translocated to another part, and in low
concentrations it will cause a physiological response
List the three primary groups of secondary metabolites and describe their chemical
difference. -Ans>>-terpenes
-phenolics
-nitrogen- containing compounds
What type of experiment did scientists conduct using Arabidopsis to help identify "floral
identity genes" in flowering plants? -Ans>>They used and ABC model, using petals,
sepals, stamen and carpel. They used mutations and measured the plants using this
model
If the soil is at field capacity(Yp=0) and the root hairs have a Yw= -0.3 and a Yp= 0.2,
what is the Ys? -Ans>>-0.5
If salt water intrusion should occur and the soil is still at field capacity and the Ys of the
soil = -3.0, the Yw of the root hairs becomes -1.1. This is caused by a
________________ pressure potential. -Ans>>lower
This was a direct effect of water moving _____________ the root hair cells. -Ans>>out
of
The process by which this water movement and change in water potential occurred is
called __________? -Ans>>diffusion
This plant growth regulator is a relatively new hormone called ________? -
Ans>>Brassinosteroids
Their effect on plant growth is similar to_____? -Ans>>Auxins
However they may stimulate ______________ production causing lateral root
formation. -Ans>>Ethylene
Although this growth hormone has been found to increase the yield of many crops, the
response depended on the __________ under which the crop was grown. -Ans>>stress
Abscisic acid is translocated in the vascular cambium, primarily in the _________. -
Ans>>phloem
, During water stress the pH of xylem sap ______ favoring dissociated ABA. -
Ans>>increases
This result in redistribution of ABA in the leaf and thus increases ABA reaching the
guard cells stimulating closing of the guard cells by potassium ____________. -
Ans>>effux
ABA inhibits ethylene production promoting root growth when the water potential is
____________. -Ans>>low
_________ is the major site of free cytokinin synthesis. -Ans>>root apical meristem
Cytokinins move from through the xylem into the ___________ -Ans>>shoot
Cytokinins induce cell division in callus cells in the presence of _______________. -
Ans>>Auxin
Cytokinins promote ___________ formation leading to organogenesis in tissue culture. -
Ans>>callus
The rate limiting step for ethylene production is ___________ induced by wounding of
the plant. -Ans>>ACC synthase
____________ inhibits ethylene synthesis by blocking ACC oxidase and used to
prevent ripening of fruits in storage. -Ans>>carbon dioxide
These types of fruit produce ethylene and can be stimulated to ripen by ethylene.
_____________ -Ans>>Climacteric
Ethylene can be used to help _________ fruits such as pineapples. -Ans>>ripen
The most predominant auxin that stimulates elongation and promotes cell division is
__________ -Ans>>indoleacetic acid
A synthetic auxin that is used as a herbicide is called _________ -Ans>>2, 4-D
Most auxins are synthesized from _________ by removal of the amino acid group and
terminal carboxyl group. -Ans>>tryptophan
auxins can be synthesized in __________. -Ans>>shoot meristems
Auxins are primarily transported through the __________. -Ans>>phloem
Meristem identify genes -Ans>>flower initiation
floral organ identity genes -Ans>>control formation of floral organs
