Question
Chapter 37, Problem 11PIAT
Summary Introduction
To review:
The time taken by the leaflets to close and reopen.
Introduction:
The leaflets of plant Mimosa pudica have the ability to close in response to being touched. The rate of closing and reopening of leaflets can be measured by measuring the change in the distance between opposing leaflets after being touched. The two graphs showing d/dmax (actual leaflet distance relative to maximal leaflet distance) versus time taken by the leaflets to close and open.

What lighting periods and color of light enrichment will be most effective for flowering of the said LDP? A. Light periods of 15 hours with light enriched in the red range of the spectrum B. Dark periods of 11 hours with light enriched in the red range of the spectrum C. Light periods of 14 hours with light enriched in the far-red range of the spectrum D. Dark periods of 9 hours with light enriched in the far-red range of the spectrum E. Light periods of 13 hours with light enriched in the red range of the spectrum F. Dark periods of 10 hours with light enriched in the far-red range of the spectrumarrow_forwardAs plants grow, they tend to align theirstems and roots along the direction of the gravitational field. This tendency, which is related to differential concentrations of planthormones known as auxins, is referred to as gravitropism. As an illustration of gravitropism, experiments show that seedlings placed inpots on the rim of a rotating turntable do not grow in the verticaldirection. Do you expect their stems to tilt inward—toward the axisof rotation—or outward—away from the axis of rotation?arrow_forward
