Question
Chapter 37, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether “talking plants” exist or not.
Introduction: An organism’s response to an external or an internal stimulus is known as its behavior. Herbivores and pathogens are likely to attack plants and the plants use structural features like outer bark, cuticles, and epidermal trichomes to protect themselves from herbivore attacks and pathogenic infections.

Selected Answer: This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Answers: This allows plants to link flowering to day length, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Flower petals carry out high levels of photosynthesis and require high light conditions This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal A minimum amount of light is always necessary for floweringarrow_forward

- A biologist finds that a plant is being attacked by beetle larva, which eats flowers. Later that same day, she observes that the air around the plant has an unusual "chemical" odour. Next day, she sees that there are many wasps stinging the caterpillars on the flowers. Give the most likely explanation for this observation and explain the underlyingconcept clearly.arrow_forwardPredict whether flowering in a short day plant with a minimum critical length of 14 hours would be expected to occur in the following situations. The plant is exposed to 15 hours of daylight and 9 hours of darkness uninterrupted. The plant is exposed to 9 hours of daylight and 15 hours of darkness. The plant is exposed to 9 hours of daylight and 15 hours of darkness, with 10 minutes exposure to red light in the middle of the night.arrow_forwardWhich signaling molecule triggers the release of volatile substances that attract parasitic wasps to plant-eating caterpillars?(a) phytochrome (b) jasmonic acid (c) auxin (d) methyl salicylate (e)gibberellinarrow_forward
