Plant Anatomy
What are stomata?
This term (or part of a term) widely describes the process and biology of how plants respond to different parts of their environment.
What is tropism?
This compound is responsible for fruit ripening.
What is ethylene?
This stage in the cell cycle is primarily when the cell is not actively dividing.
(You do not have to list the subcategories but they must be correct. And no, you do not get extra points haha)
What is interphase?
This group of angiosperms have two cotyledons.
What is a dicot/eudicot?
These are the 3 most common limiting nutrients for land plants.
Plants track day length through this.
Night length
(Or, ratio of phytochrome pigments, if the response is correct)
These compounds are produced in young leaves & shoots and also make big juicy grapes. (Yum)
What are gibberellins/gibberellic acid?
This term describes the guard cells of a stomata when the stomata is open.
What is turgid/inflated/filled/turgidity/plump/juicy/filled?
This tissue is responsible for protecting other plant tissues.
What is dermal tissue?
Soil has a _____ charge.
What is negative/negativity/negativing/negatived/negatives?
Wildcard (haha)
This group of angiosperms includes corn.
What are monocots?
This organelle of the cell is responsible for repackaging, processing, sorting, and receiving/delivering proteins.
This is a term describing the topmost bud of a plant.
What is the apical bud/meristem?
This group of angiosperms have vascular tissue forms a ring shape.
What is a monocot?
This term describes the the response created by a plant using statoliths in the root cap
What is gravitropism?
This compound is primarily produced in the root and moves up, increasing cell division.
What are cytokinins?
(Have fun hehe)
Hydrangea flowers have blue pigment which involve Aluminum ions. Considering that the Aluminum is taken into the plant through cation exchange, what is a method gardeners can do to make their Hydrangeas bluer?
Decrease soil pH (make it more acidic)
or
Increase Aluminum in soil
This type of meristem is responsible for growing horizontally (widening/thickening).
What is l@ter@l meristem?
Guttation is ____ pressure, and evapotranspiration is ____ pressure.
Positive, negative
This color of light inhibits stem elongation of germinating seedlings.
What is blue (blue raspberry flavored) light?
List all 3 parts of the triple response (caused by ethylene). Yes this isn't really in the format of a jeopardy question (You have to get all 3 right)
:)
Thickening of a stem
Curving of a stem
Slower stem growth
The triple response IN HUMANS ;)
Hint: It happens when you damage or cut your skin... (What happens afterwards?)
You get the point if you can name at least 2 out of 3
Increased blood flow (reddening)
Warmth
Swelling
