- The researcher presented her findings to her colleagues. They noted that this experiment falled to provide evidence to support the length of daylight as the critical perlod responsible for the plant knowing when to flower. What If it was length of night, or the absence of light, that was critical for the flowering of the plant? With this information, she revised her experiment by exposing the plants to a flash of light during the periods of darkness, and a flash of darkness during periods of light. 4. What are the controls in this experiment?* Light Dark Shrs 12hrs 24 hoursarrow_forwardName some of the brightest environments. Describe some protective adaptations that plants may use to shade themselves.arrow_forwardSubmerged plants receive lesser illumination as compared to exposed floating plants in a lake. Give reasons.arrow_forward
- explain how some plants sense and respond to light and darkness?arrow_forwardThis is a required question Which statement describes the role of flowers in plant survival? Flowers can absorb carbon dioxide for sugar production. Flowers produce oxygen through cellular respiration. Flowers contain cells that carry out photosynthesis. Flowers contain cells that produce gametes(sex cells). The diagram below represents a flower, the reproductive struc plants. Most flowers have both male and female structures forarrow_forwardIf green plants require light in order to produce food needed for growth, why are seedlings that are germinated in the dark taller than those of the same age grown in the light?arrow_forward
- A short day plant will bloom when: Group of answer choices Nights are shorter than days Nights and days are the same length Day length has no effect on short day plants Nights are longer than daysarrow_forwardFlowering plants can be classified by:arrow_forwardNext, 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_forward
