Question
Chapter 10, Problem 5Q
Summary Introduction
To review:
Predict whether the fluctuation in the process of photosynthesis would be more in the shade-intolerant or shade-tolerant plants.
Introduction:
The shade-tolerant plants cannot tolerate more sunlight. They can complete the process of photosynthesis with a limited amount of light. They can absorb more light quickly due to their leaf adaption. In case of shade intolerant plants, the leaves are smaller and absorb the high intensity of light.

Describe various factors that affect plant growth (e.g. growth regulators,sunlight, nutrients, water, tropism), and explain by giving example, why someplants can live in the forest although they might not be exposed to the sun ‘nosunlight can reach them’.
The winding of grape vine tendrils around a trellis support is an example of
Negative phototropism
Positive thigmotropism
thigmonasty
Negative gravitropism
A circadian rhythm
Differentiate the saturation concept from the limiting factor concept of plant response to the environment.

Which of the following would cause the plant to flower? * O a 13-hour night and 11-hour day with 1 minute of darkness after 6 hours a 12-hour day and 12-hour night with a flash of red light an 8-hour day and 16-hour night with a flash of white light after 8 hours O a 9-hour night and 15-hour day with 1 minute of darkness after 7 hours 24 hours of continuous lightarrow_forwardNext, the researcher wanted to determine if the timing of the flash of ight, whether It was early or late into the dark perlod, had an affect on the flowering plants. The researcher exposed Xanthlum strumarlum plants to a cycle of 12 hours light/12 hours dark and exposed the plants to a 10 minute burst of light at different times within the dark perlod. She recorded the percent of flowering plants post exposure. The data is in the chart below. 6. What conclusions can you draw from this data?
