Summary Introduction
To write: One-sentence summary of the discovery made by the Darwins, Boyle-Jensen, and Went. Also, credit the person who discovered the auxin in real sense.
Concept introduction: The first plant hormone was discovered by a series of experiments carried out by Darwin, Boyle-Jensen and Went on the phototropism. Charles Darwin was the first to start the experiment on phototropism, that was succeeded by Boyle-Jensen and ultimately by Frits Went. The Frits Went finally extracted the plant hormone responsible for phototropism.

You are responsible for landscaping a very large urban park. You choose a popular flowering garden plant, the hydrangea, to plant throughout the park. The nursery you purchased the plants from said that the flowers should be pink. After a few months, though, you find—to your surprise—that the plants throughout the park display a variety of flower colors ranging from purple and blue, to pink and white, and finally, to all shades in between.
After a suggestion from a friend, you test the soil where each plant was planted, and you determine that the color of the flowers seems to correlate with the acidity of the soil in which the plant was placed.
Choose the answer that best fits the blank. The parentheses after the blanks are the choices.
Since the flowers have shown such a broad range of colors, with no clear distinction between one color type and the next, this is an example of _________ (continuous variation, codominance, pleiotropy). The acidity of the soil is an example of…
THINK IT THROUGH You are a USDA official and must decide whether to allow the commercial planting of a new genetically modified strain of cabbage that is tolerant to a best-selling herbicide and has twice the vitamin content of regular cabbage. What questions would you ask of scientists before deciding whether to approve the new crop? What scientific data would you want to see? Would you also consult nonscientists? Would you consider ethical, economic, and social factors?
What do you mean by auxin?

- What would happen to a plant that had a mutation preventing it from being ablr to perform phototropism? Compare it to a plant with a mutation that allows it to do phototropism more quickly than other plants. Explain in term of natural selection.arrow_forwardFlorigen was identified by which of the following approaches? a-A genetic approach that involved the isolation of mutants b-By isolating proteins from plant extracts. c-By selection. d-By treating plants with auxin.arrow_forwardThey started to read books, surf the internet and study researches on the effect of music to plant growth, Members from the group continued to formulate their respective hypotheses. They went on performing a simple experiment. The group selected two San Francisco plants of similar size planted on the sanme type of soil and kind of pots. Both plants were healthy. Each plant were placed in separate rooms with a window exposed to full sunlight and were watered with equal amounts every day. They measured the height of the plants. Once a day, they played classical music on room 1 for about one hour while leaving room 2 with no music played. Over a period of two weeks, they noted significant differences in each plant's growth. Multiple Choice: Write the letter of your answer before the number. What was the problem in the Grade 7-Rizal's experiment? Which San Francisco plant is taller? What kind of music should be given to plants? 1. a. How long can plants grow? d. Does music make a plant…arrow_forward
- You have heard that singing to plants helps them grow and wonder if there is any validity to thisclaim. So, you conduct an experiment using numerous plants to determine if being exposed tomusic has any effect on their growth. 16. Which of the following is an appropriate sequence of steps to follow when conducting an experiment tostudy the effects of music on plant growth?a) theory → experiment → question → conclusion → observationsb) hypothesis → question → observations → conclusion → theoryc) question → observations → hypothesis → experiment → conclusiond) question → theory → observations → experiment → conclusion 17. For this experiment, what would be the independent variable?a) music b) plant growth c) amount of water d) type of plant 18. For this experiment, each of the following would be an example of a standardized variable, except _____ .a) exposure to light b) species of plant c) type of music d) plant stem lengtharrow_forwardUrkle decided he wanted to test the effects of watering his plants with cold coffee. For a week he watered one group of plants cold coffee. He ignored the other group of plants. Urkle has no idea what might happen to plants that receive coffee. What is wrong with Urkle's experimental design? If Urkle wants to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he should water his control group with cold water. If Urkle wants to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he should water the plants in the other group with Dr. Pepper. If Urkle wants to test to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he should water the plants in the other group with hot coffee. If Urkle wants to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he can ignore the control group as long as he makes sure both groups get the same amount of sun.arrow_forwardWhat is the eighth concept used for studying plants? It is difficult to avoid using the phrase “in order to” when referring to plants. Change the following sentences to be more accurate. The first one is done as an example:a. Plants have leaves in order to photosynthesize. “Plants have leaves that photosynthesize,” or “photosynthesis in plants occurs in leaves.”b. Plants have flowers in order to reproduce.c. Plant cells divide in order to make more cells.d. Wind-pollinated plants have their flowers located high above the ground in order to be exposed to stronger wind.e. Some plants have red flowers to attract hummingbirds.f. After I eat dinner, my stomach secretes acid in order to help digest the food.arrow_forward
- Jack and Jill are curious about the factors that affect plant growth. They perform several experiments using pea plants. (a) Identify one variable (other than water and sunlight) that could be tested. (b) Write a hypothesis using this variable. (c) Design an experiment to test this variable.arrow_forwardThis company sells sold a product that irritates Dr. Herman because of the poor understanding of science apparent in their advertising. Explain what you think is inaccurate, misleading, and/or missing about/in their claim(below). The Plantaire Living Air Filter is an aluminum framed, glass-enclosed cabinet filled with non-flowering plants, chosen specifically for their oxygen output capacity. For twelve hours a day these plants are intermittently watered and lit by special all spectrum lights while polluted indoor air flows in around them, natural plant respiration takes place, and the result is fresh, plant-cleaned air recycled and filtered the way nature intended. Of course, this process doesn't stop when the lights shut off. The Plantaire works tirelessly and silently 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep your indoor air fresh and clean.arrow_forwardIf you were a plant, what modified organ would you want (be specific!) and why?arrow_forward
- By looking at a plant externally can you tell whether a plant is C3 or C4? Why and how?arrow_forwardThis is a picture of the initial experiments to figure out how auxin and phototropism worked. How do you expect the plant will grow in each scenario and why?arrow_forwardPlant cells communicate in a variety of ways to elicit cellular responses. In the figure below the plant is responding the presence of light with the release of auxin. Auxin was first discovered for its ability to promote growth in plants. It is a plant hormone that inhibits the lengthening and stimulate the formation of lateral roots and root hairs. (c) Explain how the behavioral responses of the plant affect their overall fitness.
