- You have been chosen as the lead student gardener for the CSUMB Future Farmers of America Club (FFAC). Your club is looking to you and your Bio211 plant experience to guide them. You arrive at the new FFAC garden plots and notice that while there are many fruits on the apple tree, they seem to remain hard, sour, and green. Your club mates need the red, sweet apples in just a few days for the apple competition. Choose the best hormone to apply and the reason supporting its use: Select one: O a. Apply ethylene to the apples to increase ripening. O b. Apply ethylene to slow ripening and increase chlorophyll levels. O C. Apply auxin to increase parthenocarpy O d. Apply gibberellins to increase fruit size. O e. Apply auxins to decrease apical dominance and increase water intake.arrow_forwardDoug Schemske is a biologist who studies plants from around the world. Doug and his research team carry out experiments with the plant species Mouse-ear Cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana. They like this species because it is easy to grow in both the lab and field. Arabidopsis is very small and lives for just one year. It grows across most of the globe and in a wide range of latitudes and climates. Arabidopsis is also able to pollinate itself and produce many seeds, making it possible for researchers to grow many individuals to use in their experiments. Doug chose Arabidopsis populations in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean for his research on local adaptation because those two locations have very different climates. The populations may have adapted to have the highest survival and reproduction based on the climate of their home location. To deal with sudden freezes and cold winters in Scandinavia, plants may have evolved freeze tolerance traits, which produces chemicals that act like…arrow_forwardConduct research on the history, origin, and cultural significance of chia seeds.

- This company sells sold a product that irritates Dr. Herman because of the poor understanding of science apparent in their advertising. Explain what you think is inaccurate, misleading, and/or missing about/in their claim(below). The Plantaire Living Air Filter is an aluminum framed, glass-enclosed cabinet filled with non-flowering plants, chosen specifically for their oxygen output capacity. For twelve hours a day these plants are intermittently watered and lit by special all spectrum lights while polluted indoor air flows in around them, natural plant respiration takes place, and the result is fresh, plant-cleaned air recycled and filtered the way nature intended. Of course, this process doesn't stop when the lights shut off. The Plantaire works tirelessly and silently 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep your indoor air fresh and clean.arrow_forwardThe hormone abscisic acid provides advantages to plants in stress conditions by Select one: inhibiting the growth of nearby plants and so reducing competition attracting beneficial predatory insects increasing tolerance to environmental stressarrow_forwardScientists studied changes in proline, which is an indicator of plant stress and overall protein content in the corn plant when leaves had been consumed by grasshoppers. Corn plants were exposed to varying numbers of grasshoppers and compared to control plants with no grasshopper exposure. The bar graphs, with error bars, show the mean proline and protein content. The dashed lines show the proline and protein content of healthy plants 10 days prior to treatment. Which of the following statements would most likely describe the growth of corn plants in this study? When there is a decrease in the number of grasshoppers (dependent variable) measured against proline and protein content (independent variables), the corn plants would have slower growth and be smaller than the control plants. When there is an increase in the number of grasshoppers (dependent variable) measured against proline and protein content (independent variables), the growth of the corn plants would be similar…arrow_forward
