Growth and Development
This refers to the process of getting bigger and increasing in size.
What is Growth?
This is the type of plant movement happens in response to light.
What is Phototropism?
This plant hormone helps cells grow longer and guides plants toward light.
What is Auxin?
This term describes how plants and animals respond to the length of the day and night.
What is Photoperiodism?
This set of instructions from and organism's parents determines how it will grow.
What are genes?
This term describes the change in an organism's structure and function as it matures.
What is Development?
This type of plant growth occurs in response to gravity.
What is Gravitropism (or Geotropism)?
This plant hormone promotes cell division.
What are Cytokinins?
This is a seasonal response where some plants and animals enter a state of rest during unfavorable condtions.
What is Dormancy?
This factor is essential for animals to grow as it provides the necessary nutrients and this hormone controls the growth of tissues and organs in animals. (YOU MUST GET BOTH ANSWERS CORRECT FOR PTS)
What is Nutrition and Growth Hormone?
These two factors influence both growth and development and include genetic information, environmental conditions, and hormones.
What are External and Internal Factors?
This response is seen in plants like vines, which wrap around supports.
What is Thigmotropism?
This hormone helps plants respond to stess, such as drought.
These environmental conditions are essential for all living organisms, helping plants with photosynthesis and animals with hydration.
What is water?
This is the name of the hormone responsible for physical changes during puberty in humans and other animals.
What is Estrogen and Testosterone?
This is the basic unit of heredity that carries information for growth and development.
What is a Gene?
This response is to stimuli involves the rapid movement of certain plants, like the Venus flytrap, in response to touch. (Extra points if you can answer this doozy)
This plant hormone promotes stem elongation and helps plants grow taller.
What are Gibberellins?
This is the effect of temperature on the rate of growth in animals and plants, especially in cold-blooded animals.
What is Thermoregulation?
What is Metamorphosis? What is Incomplete and Complete Metamorphosis? Egg, Larva, Pupa, Adult
This is the process through which an organism grows and matures over time, often involving changes in behavior and physiology.
What is a Life Cycle?
This type of tropism describes a plant's movement in response to water.
This hormone helps prevent plant growth during unfavorable conditions, like drought, by slowing down processes like seed germination. (You will only get the points if you say the answer and SPELL it correctly).
What is Abscisic acid?
This seasonal process involves some plants only flowering when the days are long or short, depending on the species.
What is Photoperiodism?
This term describes the organism's growth in stages from embryo to mature adult, often including dramatic transformations.
