Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for shoots of mutant plants lacking differentiated endodermis to respond to gravity normally.
Introduction:
The response of a plant toward the gravitational pull is called geotropism or gravitropism. Roots of plants respond positively toward the stimulus of gravitational pull. This means that the cells of the roots move toward the direction of gravity. The shoots of the plant, on the other hand, respond negatively to this stimulus. This means that the cells move in the opposite direction of gravity.

Some seeds (tomato, for example) had been
germinated and the seedling grew for 2
weeks in soil, where the soil water potential
was maintained at -0.2 bars. The plants were
then divided into 5 groups and each group
subjected to a different soil water potential as
follows:
Group 1: 0 bars
Group 2: -0.03 bars
Group 3: -0.2 bars
Group 4: -3.0 bars
Group 5: -5.0 bars
At the end of three weeks at these various soil
water potentials, the plants that would have
made the least growth would be expected in
which group?

Many different treatments were possible in the phototropism
experiment. Based on your understanding of phototropism, provide
predictions about the direction of plant growth for the following two
scenarios, and explain your reasoning.
1. The tip of the coleoptile is removed and lanolin with auxin is applied
to the dark side of the stem.
2. The tip of the coleoptile is removed and lanolin with auxin is applied
to the light side of the stem.
Below are pictures of leaves from a Garry Oak tree (Quercus garryana). These leaves are found on
the same tree, however, the top cross section is of a leaf in the lower canopy, which is relatively
shaded. The other of the upper canopy, which is exposed to more sun.

Describe two differences between sun and shade leaves at the macroscopic (leaf) and two
differences at the microscopic (cross section) scale and provide explanations for the differences
observed in color (specific chlorophyll a vs. b enrichment and accessory pigments) and shape (leaf
thickness and width).
Note: You do not need to sketch out the leaf/slides.

- Which of the following statements about age gradients within the plant body is FALSE? Select one: a. Age gradients within the plant body include an apical-basal gradient where the youngest cells are near the apices (tips of shoots and roots). b. Age gradients within the plant body reflect the plant cells’ lack of mobility due to their shared walls. c. Phloem is oldest toward the outermost cell layers of the tree trunk and xylem is oldest toward the innermost cell layers of a tree trunk. d. All of the statements are true. e. Age gradients within the plant cells include walls that are youngest immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane and progressively older toward the middle lamella.arrow_forwardBriefly explain why research on the molecular mechanism of stomatalclosure might be of future use in agriculturearrow_forwardDescribe and explain the results shown in Table 1 and suggest how the results might have differed if lengths of root had been used.arrow_forward
- Imagine you have a plant with a water potential of -0.1 MPa in the root tissue. What would happen if you place the roots of this plant in a 0.1 M solution of sucrose (water potential is -0.23 MPa)? The net water flow would be from the tissue into the sucrose solution The net water flow would occur only as ATP was hydrolyzed in the tissue The net water flow would be from the sucrose solution into the tissue The net water flow would be in both directions and the concentration of water would remain equal The net water flow would be impossible to determine from the values given herearrow_forwardThe image below represents a flower meristem viewed from above. At the time the image represents, the cells are undifferentiated, although their eventual fates are determined (e.g. carpels, etc.). The rectangles indicate the regions of the meristem where particular genes (A, B, and C) are expressed. Note that these genes are expressed all around the circumference of the meristem at the location indicated; in other words, gene A is active in all cells in the rings labeled sepal and petals.

Support (As in the banana plant, the presence of tendrils, hooks, and supporting leaf bases.) D. Protection (Bud scales, motile leaves, spines, stipules, and bracts are all present.) E. Water storage (This is particularly important in desert plants with succulent leaves that store water in their large, thin-walled parenchyma cells. Certain plants, such as onions and lilies, store food in their leaves.) F. Attraction (Some plants have petaloid flower bracts or brightly variegated leaves.) G.
