All things held constant, given the same amount of reactants and rate in the photosynthetic process, plant damage increases respiration rate and ______________ (increases/decreases/does not affect) on the amount of biomass/dry matter produced.

 

The decrease in the respiration rate due to an increase in carbon dioxide concentration is an example of ____________, in which key metabolic enzymes are often inhibited bythe end product of the pathway they control.Hence, an excessive amount of carbon dioxide inhibits respiration, and controlling this phenomenon may increase the shelf life of your perishables.

 

It is the termreferring to the characteristic leaf structureof C4 plants that enables them to outperform C3 plants in an environment that has high O2concentration and/or temperature. Unlike C3 and CAM plants, C4 plants, such as corn and sugarcane, have leaves with vascular bundlesthatare surrounded by achloroplast-rich vascular bundle sheath, which isfurther surrounded by the spongy mesophyll.

 

All things held constant, given the same amount of reactants and rate in the photosynthetic process, plant damage increases respiration rate and ______________ (increases/decreases/does not affect) on the amount of biomass/dry matter produced.

 

The amount of energy required to transform water from liquid to gas phaseduring transpiration.

_____________ is the movement of assimilates from the source organs to the sieve elements.

______________ refers to the regulation of the quantities of fixed carbon that are channeled intovarious metabolic pathways.

At highly acidic soils, most of the essential mineral nutrients become unavailable.Whichessential mineral nutrient becomes highly available and potentially toxicat the same condition?

How many essential elements are usually sourced from the soil?

Tropic response wherein the direction of plant movement is towards the direction of stimulus.

These are naturally-occurringorganic substances other than nutrients, which are effective at micromolar concentrations, and which modify quantitatively and/or qualitatively plant growth and development.

_______________ is the physiological plant response as conditioned to the length of the night or a dark period. This resultedin crops being classified as short day, long day, or day-neutral, depending on the flowering response to day length which may vary throughout the year.

Application of synthetic compounds could artificially modify the plant growth and development, i.e. inducing germination in dormant seeds, producing parthenocarpic fruits, promoting shoot initiation intissue culture.Collectively, they are called ________________which are synthetic compounds that imitatethe organic naturally occurringsubstances that modify plant growth and developmentat low concentrations.
