Textbook Question
Chapter 29.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Some plants can detect increased levels of light reflected from leaves of encroaching neighbors. This detection elicits stem elongation, production of erect leaves, and less branching. How do these responses help the plant compete?

Your concept map must include details about the following topics: types of stimuli plants respond to, 3 stages of cell signaling, 6 major plant hormones Six main types: Auxins, abscisic acid, cytokinins, ethylene gibberellin, and brassinosteroids. and their functions, phytochrome, plant responses to light, statocytes, statoliths, plant responses to gravity, plant responses to touch, plant defenses against herbivores, plant defenses against pathogens (hypersensitive response and systemic acquired resistance)
Please help this is hw and I want to know why I'm wrong
Why do many plants use pathways that detect light to regulate their flowering?
Selected Answer:
This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal
Answers:
This allows plants to link flowering to day length, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal
Flower petals carry out high levels of photosynthesis and require high light conditions
This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal
A minimum amount of light is always necessary for flowering
