Students have asked these similar questions
The hormone that helps plants respond to drought is (A) auxin. (B) abscisic acid. (C) cytokinin. (D) ethylene.
Phenolics, spines, terpenes, cutins, defense related proteins and suberin are some examples of
plant defense. Plants are evolving to put up a fight against plant pathogen invasion.
(i)
Classify them into TWO (2) main classes of plant defense.
(ii)
What are the roles of terpenes in plant defense?
Plant cells communicate in a variety of ways to elicit cellular responses. In the figure below the plant is responding the presence of light with the release of auxin. Auxin was first discovered for its ability to promote growth in plants. It is a plant hormone that inhibits the lengthening and stimulate the formation of lateral roots and root hairs.
(b) Explain the role that auxin has in eliciting the plant’s response.
