Question
Chapter 39, Problem 8IQ
a.
Summary Introduction
To define: How could a plant survive the stress of very hot and dry weather?
Introduction: Plants are able to respond to abiotic environmental stress as well as biotic stresses. Some examples of biotic stresses are pathogens and herbivores. Some examples of abiotic environmental stresses are drought, soil salinity, mineral toxicity, excessive watering, and extremes temperature and weather.
b.
Summary Introduction
To define: How could a plant respond to an abnormal cold and wet fall.

B. Leaf Abscission
Ethylene is the only plant hormone that is a gas. As such it can easily move from one
plant to another.
Your lab instructor may recruit you to help set up the following experiment. Arrange
cuttings of holly shoots into two jars filled with water. Place each under a bell jar. Under one
of the bell jars, also place a piece of fruit. You may choose whether or not to cut the fruit.
Over the next week or two observe and compare the two sets of holly cuttings.
3. What differences do you anticipate observing?
4. Formulate
your hunch into a null and an alternative hypothesis:
a. Null Hypothesis:
