A. activation of defense response from biotrophic and hemi-biotrophic pathogens B. structurally related to animal steroid hormones for growth and development C. long distance (root-to-shoot) signals for nitrogen assimilation D. defense from necrotrophic pathogens and herbivore insects
Draw a graph of the abundance of each type of plant (three lines) versus water availability. Please use C4 plants, C3 plants, and CAM plants for the graph.
Which of the following best describes evidence of a hypersensitive response? Select one: a. The bending of the coleoptile towards light. b. The growth of roots down and shoots up. c. When cells around an infection site die, depriving the pathogen of nutrients and preventing it from spreading. d. When plants elongate in response to being shaded. e. When stomata close despite plenty of CO 2 and water.
In this field of sunflowers, variation exists. Some flowers are tall, others short, and finally some plants are an intermediate height. The tallest plants shade the shorter; the taller plants are pollinated first. Over time, we might expect this field of sunflowers to be mostly tall. According to this scenario, we would classify the production of the sunflowers in what area of this Venn diagram? A) A. Reactivate B) B. Reactivate C) C. D) D. Reactivate
Which of the following is an example of a primary defense against biotic stress?. Select one: a. stomata b. thorn c. morphine d. chloroplast e. vitamin C
Can you please help solve this problem? Using a scatter plot with a trend line, plot the distance the dye traveled (in cm) against time (seconds) for the control and experimental plants. Calculate the speed of dye uptake in cm/minute for the control and experimental plants (light + wind) [these values are just the slopes of the trend lines]
emphasized how plastic and adaptable plants are in their environment. Write an essay touching on this concept. The first paragraph should be broad and discuss why plants must be more adaptable to their environment compared to other organisms, such as animals. Discuss if adaptation is or is not genetically determined and/or heritable. The second paragraph should provide a specific examples of how plants have adapted to stress. This portion needs to be in depth, and discuss both an abiotic and biotic stress.
The parentheses represent the answer choices for the blank(s). The independent variable is (the amount of light the plants recieve, the amount of chlorophyll in the plant leaves). The dependant variable is (the amount of light the plants recieve, the amount of chlorophyll in the plant leaves).

The enormous flower stalks of an Agave plant represent which of the following? Agaves are semelparous. Group of answer choices -high investment in organismal growth -A very high investment in reproduction and none in maintenance of the organism -High investment in both reproduction and maintenance of the organism -low investment in reproduction and high investment in maintenance of the organism
Intraspecific competition is a competition between members of the same species and is commonly observed in crop plants. Table 6.2 shows the results of a greenhouse experiment which examined the effects of density on the germination and growth of barley. Plants were grown for two weeks in 10- cm diameter pots kept in identical environmental conditions and watered regularly. At the end of the experiment the plants were cropped by cutting the stems at the soil surface. Based from the given table and graph, discuss the data and the relationship of the two factors (Mean wet biomass of plants (g) and Number of plants that germinated). Then, what is the effect of density to the Mean wet biomass of plants?
Which of the following descriptions about C4 and CAM plants is not correct? Select one: a. CAM plants use CO2 released from organic compounds during the day b. C4 and CAM plants both close stomata during the day in hot and dry climates. c. in C4 plants, PEP carboxylase present in bundle-sheath cells incorporate CO2 into C4 compounds d. CAM plants fix CO2 at night e. C4 plants use PEP carboxylase to fix CO2 even when CO2 concentrations are low
