Next, the researcher wanted to determine if the timing of the flash of ight, whether It was early or late into the dark perlod, had an affect on the flowering plants. The researcher exposed Xanthlum strumarlum plants to a cycle of 12 hours light/12 hours dark and exposed the plants to a 10 minute burst of light at different times within the dark perlod. She recorded the percent of flowering plants post exposure. The data is in the chart below. 6. What conclusions can you draw from this data? (You do not need to show a graph, but it may help with your answer.) * % of plants flowering Time of burst of light (from the beginning of dark period) 100 86 35 41 10 78 12 95 21 4- 8.
Grass plants elevate their leaves to compete for light without exposing their shoot apical meristems to grazing animals by: O growing their leaves from persistent meristematic zones at the leaf base. never elévating the shoot apical meristem. using axillary meristems to proctce leaves. O inducing protein inhibitors through the jasmonic acid response
Predict 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.
Chemical Defenses: What is the benefit of having an inducible chemical defense, as opposed to a constitutive chemical defense? (an inducible defense is when the chemical is produced when herbivory is taking place as opposed to a constitutive defense where the chemical is always present) Inducible chemical defense best deters herbivory. With inducible defense predation will take place before a defense compound is produced which means there is damage to the plant before a defense is employed. With inducible defense herbivores are deterred even if no defense compound is produced. With inducible defenses energy is conserved by only producing secondary compounds when needed instead of continually. b 9 A....pdf XE A Week 9 Pre-lab.pdf A 10.7591 978150 A AY9_Week9_ng....xlsx
