Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference in the type of compartments in which statoliths are found and the physiological mechanism for detecting their response to gravity.
Concept introduction:
Statoliths are the cellular inclusions (plants) or cellular structures (animals) that provide a sense of orientation in the organism according to the gravity.

Explain the floral colors in terms of which wavelengths of light are absorbed and reflected by the petals.arrow_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_forwardAccording to data from genome sequences, cytoplasmic dynein is absent in some plants (e.g.,Arabidopsis) and present in others (e.g.,rice).Does this finding surprise you? What else might you do to confirm or refute such a statement? How is it possible that higher plant cells could operate without cytoplasmic dynein?arrow_forward
