Scientists studied changes in proline, which is an indicator of plant stress and overall protein content in the corn plant when leaves had been consumed by grasshoppers. Corn plants were exposed to varying numbers of grasshoppers and compared to control plants with no grasshopper exposure.
The bar graphs, with error bars, show the mean proline and protein content. The dashed lines show the proline and protein content of healthy plants 10 days prior to treatment.
Which of the following statements would most likely describe the growth of corn plants in this study?
When there is a decrease in the number of grasshoppers (dependent variable) measured against proline and protein content (independent variables), the corn plants would have slower growth and be smaller than the control plants.
When there is an increase in the number of grasshoppers (dependent variable) measured against proline and protein content (independent variables), the growth of the corn plants would be similar…
The food and nutrition industries have capitalized on the importance of protein as a large component of a healthy diet. However, the evidence for wide-ranging benefits of plant-based diets is expanding and gaining momentum. Are the concerns associated with a plant-based diet (namely amino acid deficiency and availability) valid, and can they be mitigated? Provide clear examples of how a plant-based diet might introduce nutritional challenges
Plants obtain water and nutrients from the soil.a. What structure in a plant uses water in a metabolic reaction? What is this metabolic process called? b. Describe in detail two mechanisms by which water can move from the roots to this location c. If a plant was exposed to saltwater, how would it affect the above processes? Be specific, including a discussion of water potential d. How do plants absorb minerals from the soil? Does this process require energy?

- Green fluorescent protein (GFP) can attach and mark other proteins with fluorescence, enabling scientists to see the presence of a particular protein. In an experiment to understand the molecular physiology behind the GA-induced seed germination, a GFP-tagged protein was observed to be moving from the cytoplasm into the nucleus of aleurone layer cells before the detection of alpha-amylase in the endosperm. Based on your knowledge, identify the possible protein(s) with which the GFP is attached in the given situation.

Choices may be used more than once or not at all. Chemical signals called play an important role in a plant's ability to respond to a stimulus. These signals bind to receptors, the first step in a cellular response called a may be located in the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, the nucleus, or the endoplasmic reticulum. The series of relay proteins or enzymes activated by the hormone binding the receptor make up the Some responses are immediate, while others require a like Ca*, to initiate a cellular response.
