Your boss is coming to dinner! All you have for asalad is some wilted, day-old lettuce. You vaguely recallthat there is a trick to rejuvenating wilted lettuce, but youcannot remember what it is. Should you soak the lettuce insalt water, soak it in tap water, or soak it in sugar water, ormaybe just shine a bright light on it and hope that photo-synthesis will perk it up?

54. Why did desert plants evolve adaptations for photosynthesis? Group of answer choices In harsh and dry conditions, every drop of water must be conserved to survive. A more efficient use of oxygen allows plants to adapt to living with less water. A more efficient use of carbon dioxide allows plants to adapt to living with more water. In harsh and dry conditions, stomata must open to allow uptake of oxygen.
Glyphosate is an herbicide used to kill weeds. It is themain component of a product made by the MonsantoCompany called Roundup. Glyphosate kills plants by inhibiting an enzyme in the shikimate pathway calledEPSPS. This herbicide is considered safe because animalsdo not have the shikimate pathway. To sell even more oftheir herbicide, Monsanto commissioned its plant geneticists to engineer several crop plants, including corn, to beresistant to glyphosate. To do so, the scientists had to introduce an EPSPS enzyme that was resistant to inhibitionby glyphosate into crop plants and then test the transformed plants for resistance to the herbicide.Imagine that you are one of these scientists and thatyou have managed to successfully introduce the resistant EPSPS gene into the corn chromosomes. Youfind that some of the transgenic plants are resistant tothe herbicide, whereas others are not. Your supervisoris very upset and demands an explanation of why someof the plants are not resistant even…
Cattle in industrial dairy farms are typically given rBST, or recombinant bovine somatotropin. This animal hormone increases a cow's milk production, but there is concern that such hormones may have unforeseen effects on milk-drinking humans. There is no similar concern about plant hormones in the plant foods we eat. Why not?

BELL JAR EXPERIMENT In the early 1770s, Joseph Priestley conducted a series of experiments that led to the discovery of the intimate relationship between plant and animal life. In his principal experiment, Priestley placed a mouse within a sealed jar and observed it to eventually perish (a and b). When repeated with sprigs of mint within the jar, neither did the mouse die “nor was it at all inconvenient to a mouse” (c and d). He had made the breakthrough that plants produce a substance which is life-giving to animals and then went on to describe it “dephlogisticated air”, which, thanks to the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, soon became known as “oxygen”.
