- 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.

They have unevenly thickened primary cell walls. - v Sugar-conducting cells of the phloem B. are alive at maturity, but lack organelles. Each sieve-tube element is connected to a companion cell by plasmodesmata. Water-conducting cells of the xyleem v Sclerenchyma C. The two types of water-conducting cells, tracheids and vessel elements, are dead and lignified at maturity. - v Parenchyma D. rigid due to thick secondary walls containing lignin, dead at functional maturity and play a role in support in the plant. E. cells are flexible and provide the most diversity of functions (such as photosynthesis)arrow_forwardAs plants grow, they tend to align theirstems and roots along the direction of the gravitational field. This tendency, which is related to differential concentrations of planthormones known as auxins, is referred to as gravitropism. As an illustration of gravitropism, experiments show that seedlings placed inpots on the rim of a rotating turntable do not grow in the verticaldirection. Do you expect their stems to tilt inward—toward the axisof rotation—or outward—away from the axis of rotation?arrow_forward
- 1. Consider the tradeoffs between having a living exterior with guard cells vs. a thick layer of waterproofed dead cells. How might this impact the ability of the plant to interact with the outer environment? 2. Why do some seeds undergo a period of dormancy, and how do they break dormancy? 3. Girdling is a process used to slowly kill a tree and/or to create a standing dead tree (a snag). Explain why girdling would kill a tree.arrow_forwardWhat 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 lightarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about age gradients within the plant body is FALSE? Select one: a. Age gradients within the plant body include an apical-basal gradient where the youngest cells are near the apices (tips of shoots and roots). b. Age gradients within the plant body reflect the plant cells’ lack of mobility due to their shared walls. c. Phloem is oldest toward the outermost cell layers of the tree trunk and xylem is oldest toward the innermost cell layers of a tree trunk. d. All of the statements are true. e. Age gradients within the plant cells include walls that are youngest immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane and progressively older toward the middle lamella.arrow_forward
