Concept explainers

Plant sensory system

The plant sensory system is a sophisticated system that responds to environmental stimuli such as light,temperature, gravity, and touch. Research predicts that plant hormones and signaling mechanisms areresponsible for this regulation system in plants.

Researchers studying plant growth designed an experiment to test the effect of caffeine on the growth of onion roots. They hypothesized that caffeine-a stimulant-would increase the rate of root growth. They immersed the bottom of a group of onion bulbs in a solution of 1 mM caffeine and that of the other group of onion bulbs in distilled water. Then they measured the root length of both treated or experimental and untreated or control groups of onion bulbs. This was repeated for a total of five trials. The results from their experiments are illus- trated in the table below.

What did Went's experiments with the gelatin block demonstrate? A. Plants cannot be induced to bend during growth unless they are exposed to an indirect source of light. B. Light induces the coleoptile to produce a diffusible substance that moves to the growing region of a plant where it stimulates cells to elongate. C. Gelatin can enhance the movement of a soluble factor from the growing region of a plant to the coleoptile where it accelerates growth. D. When a plant tip is removed from a growing plant, the plant acquires the ability to bend toward the light

An experiment is conducted to determine the effect of classical music on the growth rate of marigolds (flowers). Two groups of plants are grown from seed in identical soil types, exposed to identical light conditions, and given the same nutrients. Group A is in a quiet atmosphere. The plants in group B provided with the same atmosphere, except that classical music is played for twelve hours daily in this area. The scientist measures the plants in both groups each day and records the data. In experimental design, Group A is known as.* experimental group control group non-experimental group O quasi-experimental group
