Chapter 37, Problem 11TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The mechanism that measures the internal time is referred to as biological clocks. These biological clocks tend to adapt to the environmental changes going around. The environmental cues can reset the biological clock in a plant (seasonal and daily adjustments in plants) such as growth, development, and reproduction.

- 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.arrow_forwardWhat preliminary conclusions can you draw from the results of the experiment and what is the independent and dependent variable ?arrow_forwardTobacco plants invest a lot of resources into the production of secondary compounds know as alkaloids (e.g., nicotine) that we believe act as defenses against herbivores. The researchers did an experiment where they added a hormone that reduces the production of alkaloids. In graph (a), the data show that the hormone reduced the proportion of alkaloids as a function of leaf mass relative to controls- so the hormone worked. They also measured the lifetime seed production of the plants in both treatments without any herbivores present (b). They had the following results. What might you conclude/hypothesize/investigate based on the data in graph (b) (a) Chemical defenses (percent of leaf mass) 1.8% 1.4 1.0 0.6 0.2 No hormone added Hormone added (b) Lifetime seed mass (g/plant) -18 14 10 No hormone added Hormone added It would be good to test whether the hormone is very specific or whether it might also cause changes in other metabolic processes The hormone has no effect on the lifetime…arrow_forward
