Question
Chapter 37, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether “talking plants” exist or not.
Introduction: An organism’s response to an external or an internal stimulus is known as its behavior. Herbivores and pathogens are likely to attack plants and the plants use structural features like outer bark, cuticles, and epidermal trichomes to protect themselves from herbivore attacks and pathogenic infections.

Hormones and signal pathways
Complete the following paragraph to describe signal transduction as it occurs within plants. Choices may be used more than once or

Chemical signals called

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

Phenolics, spines, terpenes, cutins, defense related proteins and suberin are some examples of
plant defense. Plants are evolving to put up a fight against plant pathogen invasion.

Numerous other plant substances, including caffeine and nicotine, have effects in the human body, as well. There is also a wide array of plant products, in the form of pills, powders, or teas, marketed as herbal medicines. Some people prefer taking these “natural” products to pharmaceuticals. Others use herbal supplements to boost energy, promote weight loss, strengthen the immune system, relieve stress, and more. The U.S. Federal Drug Administration, which approves pharmaceuticals, is also responsible for regulating herbal remedies. What does the label “FDA-approved” on an herbal remedy mean?
