Tannins and silica are growth-enhancing compounds in plants associated with “antixenosis”. True or False
Positive phototropism is one of the most obvious aspects of plant growth but the mechanism behind it required considerable experimentation to finally explain. Briefly describe how positive phototropism works, including the processes, structures and/or molecules involved.
Poison is (Toxicodendron radicans) occurs as a weak free-standing shrub (that can reach 0.5m in height). as a trailing vine (that trails along the surface of the ground). and as a climbing vine (that climbs up trees and other vertical surfaces) When the a poison-ivs plant is growing as a weak shrub. Its stems are smooth, but when it begins to grow up the trunk of a tree. Its stem becomes covered with many slender adventitious roots that firmly attach it to the tree. Propose one possible proximate (immediate. physiological. ecological) factor and one possible ultimate (evolutionary ) factor for the production of adventitious roots br poison-ivy plants

THE EFFECTS OF PHOTOTROPISM ON A PLANT Materials: a shoebox, extra cardboard, șcissors, tape, Bean plants, small cups full of soil Procedure: 1. Plant four bean seeds in each of the soilcups. Make sure they're evenly spaced, and plant them just a half inch under the soil. 2. Water the cups, and dump out any excess water (be careful not to tip the soil and seeds out). Set aside. 3. Cut a large hole at one end of the shoebox. Hold the box up to the light and be sure to tape up any other spaces where light shines through. 4. Cut two pieces of cardboard in the following sizes: 5. First make both pieces half the width of the shoebox. 6. Then make both pieces the same height of the shoebox. 7. Now divide the box in thirds and tape one cut cardboard piece on the left side of the box at the one-third mark. Next, tape the other cardboard piece on the right side of the box at the two-thirds mark. 8. Documents your observations. The box should look like the box shown below. Place the small potted…

University of Seville Researchers from the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Seville have recently published a study in which they state that diets supplemented with aqueous extract of Annona muricata L. leaves can prevent the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, so improving the lives of these patients. Leaves of the species Annona muricata L. come from a tree of between 4 and 6 metres in height, from the botanical family Annonacese. They are simple leaves, oblong and egg like or oblong and elliptical in shape and between 5 and 15 cm in length. This species is native to the tropical areas of the Americas and is especially abundant in the Amazon region. It is usually cultivated for its medicinal use. The leaves have different ethnomedical uses according to their country of origin. The most important uses in traditional medicine, scientifically validated in pre-clinical tests, are for inflammation, pain, infections, diabetes and cancer. "The consumption of extract of…
