Question
Chapter 38.2, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
(a) Whether armyworm larvae feeding on corn leaves lead to a constitutive or induced defensive response by the plant.
(b) The mechanism, by which chemicals in the armyworm frass affect the response by corn plants.
Introduction:
The armyworm larvae feeding on corn plants deposit their frass or waste in the gaps present where the corn leaves are connected to the stem by stalks. The frass releases certain chemicals which send signals to make the plant aware that it is under attack and allows the plant to mount a defense against the armyworms.

- Plant 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. a) Describe the plant’s response to the presence of light.

- the graph is depicting the size of eggs and number of eggs for the mycalesis terminus butterfly. the right of the graph represents the mass of the eggs (solid blue) and the left side represents the number of eggs (striped blue) Describe one realistic difference between host plants that might be affecting the numbers and sizes of eggs that a female lays on these plants. Suppose the ability of a female to adjust her egg and clutch size is an adaptation in these butterflies. Based on the difference between host plants that you identified in Part C, describe and explain why that difference would impact how a female adjusts the size or number of eggs (choose only one of these). Your answer just needs to be possible, not necessarily true.arrow_forwardPlants have systemic defense mechanisms (i.e., those that are not normally active but can be induced when the plant is under attack).
