Question
Chapter 31, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To describe:
How the event of a mule grazing on the shoot tips of a shrub alter the biochemistry, physiology, health and structure of the plant. Also, identify the hormones involved in making these changes.
Concept introduction:
Herbivory is referred to the animals that eat plants. This is a type of stress that is faced by the plants. This causes the plants to alter their certain mechanisms. There are hormones that are produced by the plants for their growth and development.

Hormones and signal pathways
Complete the following paragraph to describe signal transduction as it occurs within plants. Choices may be used more than once or

ability to respond to a stimulus.
These signals bind to receptors, the first step in a cellular response called a

nucleus, or the endoplasmic reticulum.
The series of relay proteins or enzymes activated by the hormone binding the

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.
