Concept explainers
Engineers have designed a smaller version of such a container that can be used to seal off a small part of the plant. One version of this device, called a leaf chamber, is shown below. When a scientist uses this device on a plant, they don’t need to break the leaves off the branch or stem they are attached to. The leaf chamber makes an airtight seal around the stem or branch even though it is sticking out of the chamber.
Using this device, scientists detected the most change in O2 and CO2 levels inside the chamber when a leaf is in the chamber. They only detected a small change in O2 and CO2 levels in the chamber when a green stem was placed in the chamber. No change was detected when a root or a brown stem was placed in the chamber.
Why do you think a scientist would prefer not to remove the leaves from a tree or a plant in order to take these sorts of measurements?

- Wild type, rapid-cycling accessions of Arabidopsis, such as the Columbia (COL) lab line will flower 32 days after germination under long day conditions (with a critical photoperiod of 15 hours). What is the predicted flowering-time response (EARLY, LATE, SAME) of each experimental plant's genotype (Listed below) relative to the wild-type, rapid-cycling COL line - when both are grown from seed under the following environmental conditions. The possible flowering time responses are: EARLY, LATE, SAME., relative to the wild-type COL line grown in the conditions listed below.arrow_forwardA plant was exposed to a light source that only faced one side of the plant. The shaded side of the plant stem and the light facing side of the stem were measured for growth at 15 minutes intervals.arrow_forwardLabel the blade, petiole, stipules, midrib and side veins in Figure 6-1. Does this leaf have a dicot or a monocot vein pattern?arrow_forward
- I need help with the structure of the Eastern Hemlock Leaf In the lab, we did a sketch of an eastern hemlock leaf and I need help labeling what structures are to the leaf.arrow_forwardJenny wanted to plant sunflowers, but wasn't sure of the best place to plant them on her property - so she decided to investigate! Jenny planted 6 sunflowers where they would get sun all day, 6 where they would get some sun and some shade, and 6 where they would be in total shade all day. Jenny watered all of the sunflowers at the same time of day with the same amount of water. After 3 months Jenny measured how tall the sunflowers in each location were. What is the hypothesis that Jenny was testing? Choose all that apply. Question options: A Amount of water affects plant growth B Plant growth is affected by light exposure C Plant growth is affected by the time of day of watering D Amount of light affects plant growth because light is required for photosynthesisarrow_forwardProtects the plant and prevents it from drying out by means of a waxy Select match cuticle.

Based on the given text.arrow_forwardThe following model is what type of root: Monocot or Eudicotarrow_forwardGrowers often wrap potted plants in plastic sleeves prior to shipping. If plants remain in these sleeves too long, their leaves curl and fall off. Imagine you are working at a garden center and have been asked to make a presentation to a local garden club. how can growers avoid problems for example when it comes to plastic sleeves how can we fix itarrow_forward

She wanted to test 3 fertilizers: Fertilizer A, B, and C. Jenny split up her garden into 3 sections and planted the same number of tomato plants in each section. When planted, all of the plants were the same height and all sections of the garden received the same amount of sunlight each day. Jenny used Fertilizer A in section 1 of the garden, Fertilizer B in section 2, and Fertilizer C in section 3 of the garden, ensuring that she used the same amount of fertilizer on each plant in each section of her garden. She watered the plants at the same time of day with the same amount of water for 3 months and then she measured how tall each of the plants in each section were. Which of the following is a confounding variable that could affect the results of the experiment if it is not controlled? Choose all that apply. Type of fertilizer |Amount of sun exposure Amount of fertilizer Wateringarrow_forwardYou are growing tomatoes and your plants are healthy and nearly one metre tall. Youworry that they might get blown over by the wind, so you decide to lend them extrasupport with a wire frame. You accidently break the growing tip off the top of one ofthe plants. After a few weeks, you notice that instead of growing tall like the otherplants, the plant with the broken tip has grown denser with thicker lateral shootsthan the other plants. Question: Explain what signal transduction pathway has been impacted by the removalof the growing tip of this tomato plant and contrast this with what ishappening in the normal growing tomato plants (10 facts).arrow_forward
