- EVOLUTION LINK Like stems in general, some vines are herbaceous and others are woody. Tropical rain forests have a greater diversity of vines than in any other environment on Earth, and most of these vines are woody. Develop a hypothesis to explain why natural selection has favored the evolution of more species of woody vines (as opposed to herbaceous vines) in tropical rain forests.arrow_forwardThere is a trade-off between photosynthesis and transpiration in leaves because (a) numerous stomatal pores provide both gas exchange for photosynthesis and openings through which water vapor escapes (b) a waxy layer, the cuticle, reduces water loss (c) blue light triggers an influx of potassium ions (K+) into the guard cells (d) leaves of deciduous plants abscise as winter approaches in temperate climates (e) stomata are closed at night, although water continues to move into the roots by osmosisarrow_forwardStomata and lenticels are both involved in exchange ofCO2 and O2. Why do stomata need to be able to close,but lenticels do not?arrow_forward
- 1. What is the pathway of carbon dioxide fixation 2. What are the adaptions and resistance of plant to high temperatures 3. What are the adaptions of plant growth in cold regionsarrow_forwardThe fifth concept used to understand plants is that plants must survive in their own _______________________. Imagine a plant adapted to a desert and one adapted to a rain forest. Do you think that the leaves of one might be different from the leaves of the other? That one might have enlarged roots that can store water and the other would not need these? Would it be easier to understand a plant’s anatomy and physiology, all its biology, if we also know the type of habitat to which it is adapted?arrow_forwardHow is a C4, C3 and CAM plant different in terms of 1. area/region of growth 2. leaf morphology/physiological adaptation 3. added steps to the Calvin Cyclearrow_forward
- Guttation in plants is due to condensation of water vapor and occurs through the hydathodes. D. Disagree, because guttation occurs through the stomates. A. Agree, because guttation occurs through the hydathodes. B. Disagree, because it is root pressure that causes guttation. C. Agree, because during night time, water condenses due to drop in temperature.arrow_forward1. What is the pathway for carbon dioxide fixation in plants 2. What are the adaptions and resistance of plant to high temperatures 3. What the adaptations of plant growth in cold regionsarrow_forwardA 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_forward
- But how are the two types of mesophyll involved? From what I understand, CO2 enters the stomata, and then the citric acid cycle of the mitochondia in the mesophyll use the carbon atoms do produce glucose, which then goes through phloem loading and it either used or stored. My question, I guess, is how exactly are the two types of mesophyll involved? Is only one used or are both used at different times in the production of the glucose?arrow_forwardCotton plants wilt within a few hours of flooding of their roots. The flooding leads to low-oxygen conditions, increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, and decreases in cytosolic pH. Suggest a hypothesis to explain how flooding leads to wilting.arrow_forward
