Question 7

How does gibberellin actually work?

Accepted Answer

A)  In the presence of blue light,it triggers additional photosynthesis and growth.
B)  It attaches to a plasma membrane receptor and results in gene activation to produce the enzyme amylase that releases sugars for additional cell growth,division,and elongation.
C)  In the presence of light,it increases the formation of additional DNA that codes for additional plant structures.
D)  In the presence of unidirectional light,it moves to the shady side and activates an ATP-driven proton pump that results in weakened cell walls and eventual elongation.
E)  In the presence of light,it increases the turgor pressure of the cell and accelerates growth.F) D) and E)
G) B) and D)

Question 8

How does auxin actually cause stems to curve towards the light?

Accepted Answer

A)  In the presence of blue light,auxin triggers additional photosynthesis and growth.
B)  In the presence of light,auxin increases the turgor pressure of the cell and accelerates growth.
C)  In the presence of light,auxin increases the formation of hydrolytic enzymes that release energy needed for growth purposes.
D)  In the presence of light,auxin moves toward the light source and activates a protein that binds to DNA and starts enzyme production.
E)  In the presence of unidirectional light,auxin moves to the shady side and activates an ATP-driven proton pump that results in weakened cell walls and eventual elongation.F) B) and D)
G) A) and B)
