Question
Chapter 38.5, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How do plants and animal differ with regard to the type of compartment in which statoliths are found and the physiological mechanism for detecting their response to gravity.
Introduction:
The granules which are formed with the grains of the sand are known as statoliths, which are present in the chamber lined with ciliated receptor cells. The statoliths are present in statocyst organ and act as mechanoreceptor. The statoliths help in maintaining balance and sensing the gravity.

What is the difference between the manner in which movement takes place in sensitive plant and movement in our legs?
Which of the following are the correct order of steps needed for guard cells to respond to ligth?
Select one:
O a. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump potassium and chloride out, water follows the ions out(lower water
potential), guard cells lose water and open
O b. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump potassium and chloride out, water follows the ions out(lower water
potential), guard cells lose water and close
O c. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump protons out, protons escort chloride ions in, water follows the ions (lower
water potential), guard cells become turgid and open
O d. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump protons in, water follows the protons (lower water potential and
concentration gradient), guard cells become turgid and close

Explain the floral colors in terms of which wavelengths of light are absorbed and reflected by the petals.arrow_forwardINTERPRET DATA The figure depicts the absorption spectrum of a plant pigment. What colors or wavelengths does it absorb? What is the color of this pigment?arrow_forward. Salmon are anadromous fish and must deal with osmotic changes in their environment in extreme ways. Researchers have found that Na*/K* - ATPase is found in two different kinds of cells in the gill tissue. One type is found in the filament bases that appear to be active when salmon are adults only. The other types of cells are found in the lamellae folds and appear to be active during its juvenile stages. Speculate on these findings as to how this allows salmon to complete their unique life cycle.arrow_forward
- Which type of the following play a role in the gravitropic response of plants according to the statolith hypothesis? amyloplasts chloroplasts receptors calcium ions O O O Oarrow_forwardWhich of the following events does not occur during light absorption in the vertebrate eye? The retinal component of rhodopsin changes from cis to trans form. Rhodopsin, a G-proteincoupled receptor, triggers a signaltransduction pathway to close Na+ channels in the plasmamembrane. The light stimulus passes from rods and cones to bipolar cellsand horizontal cells and then to ganglion cells, whose axonscompose the optic nerve. As light absorption increases, the rhodopsin response causesan increase in the release of neurotransmitters. When integrating information across the retina, horizontalcells connect the rods and cones, and amacrine cells join with the bipolar cells and ganglion cells.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between symplast and transmembrane water transport pathways in plants.
