Textbook Question
Chapter 39, Problem 4TYU
How may a plant respond to severe heat stress?
(A) by reorienting leaves to increase evaporative cooling
(B) by creating air tubes for ventilation
(C) by producing heat-shock proteins, which may protect the plant's proteins from denaturing
(D) by increasing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes, reducing their fluidity

Students have asked these similar questions
Why are plants that consume 30 ATP molecules to produce one molecule of glucose (rather than the usual 18 molecules of ATP per glucose molecule) favored in hot climates but not in cold climates? What role does temperature play?
Why are deficiency symptoms of immobile elements more pronounced in younger than in older leaves? Why do plants seldom exhibit deficiency symptoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen although they are used by the plant in large quantities? And lastly, what is the role of pH in nutrient availability?
Which of the following would allow a plant to tolerate a cold environment?
