Which hormone(s) is/are responsible for the ability of sunflowers to turn their flowers to track the sun throughout the day? Explain how these hormones work.
What type of feedback process is exemplified by the production of ethylene during fruit ripening? Explain.
Ripe fruit has a high-carbohydrate content and tastes sweet. In contrast, grain, which also has a high-carbohydrate content, does not elicit a sweet sensation when consumed. Suggest a reason for this disparity from the plant’s point of view.
