Term
Which of the following is primarily responsible for fruit ripening in plants?
Definition
Ethylene
Term
Which of the following processes is responsible for the bending of the stem of a plant toward a light source?
Definition
The cells on the side of the stem away from the light elongate.
Term
The driving force for the movement of materials in the xylem of plants is
Definition
transpiration
Term
hormone responsible for cell elongation, gravitropism and apical dominance
Definition
Auxin
Term
Initiation of flowering response to photoperiod is triggered by
Definition
changes in the phytochrome
Term
stimulates the cells of germinating grass seeds to produce mRNA molecules that code for hydrolytic enzymes. In this case, the role of _________________ can be described as a regulator of gene activity
Definition
Gibberellic acid
Term
Which best describes the mechanism by which a plant stem grows toward light?
Definition
Cells on the dark side of the stem elongate more
Term
Flowering plants can fertilize without water because
Definition
pollen tubes deliver sperm to eggs.
Term
actively dividing tissue in plants
Definition
Cambium
Term
Fruits ripen faster in a closed paper bad because of
Definition
ethylene
Term
responsible for cohesive property of H2O
Definition
Hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atom and hydrogen atom
Term
Which is the reason for the sporophyte stage being the dominate phase? 
Definition
Sporophytes are independent and conspicuous.
Term
Long-day plants flower in
Definition
spring
Term
The loss of leaves during autumn is because of
Definition
the hormone ethylene
Term
In plants, translocation occurs because of
Definition
differences in water potential between sugar sources and sinks
Term
produced in roots and affects root growth and differentiation
Definition
Cytokinens
Term
found in the tissue of ripening fruit
Definition
Ethylene
Term
found in the meristems of buds and roots
Definition
Gibberellin
Term
produced in leaves, stems and roots
Definition
ABA
Term
produced in seed embryos and apical meristems
Definition
Auxin
Term
Plants that require 10 hours of dark and 14 hours of light are those that bloom during the
Definition
spring and summer
Term
hormone in plants that results in a set of loss leaves
Definition
Ethylene
Term
affect the growth and differentiation
Definition
Cytokinisome
Term
produced in meristems of buds and roots, promotes seed and bud germination
Definition
Gibberellins
Term
produced in leaves and stems in which inhibits growth and close stomatas during the night
Definition
Abscisic acid
Term
Plants stems bend toward a light source as a result of increase:
Definition
cell elongation on the side of the stem AWAY from the light source
Term
The driving force for the movement of materials in the phloem of plants is:
Definition
a difference in osmotic potential between the source and the sink
Term
The rate of flow of water through the xylem is regulated by:
Definition
the force of transpirational pull
Term
Flowering plants are capable of fertilization in the absence of water because the:
Definition
pollen tubes deliver the sperm to the eggs.
Term
Giberellic Acid stimulates the cells of germinating grass seeds to produce mRNA molecules that code for hydrolytic enzymes. In this case the role of the giberellic acid can best be described as that of ?
Definition
a regulator of gene activity
Term
On a sunny day, closing of stomata in plant leaves result in ?
Definition
decrease in CO2 intake
Term
In plants that exhibit an alteration of generations in their life cycle, which of the following is the reason why the sporophyte stage is dominant?
Definition
the sporophyte = form of plant that is independent and conspicuous
Term
The loss of leaves that some plants experience due to the onset of autumn is a result of what hormone?
Definition
ethylene
Term
produced in meristems of buds and roots; promotes seed and bud germination
Definition
Giberellins
Term
produced in seed embryo and apical meristems; stimulates stem elongation and root growth
Definition
Auxin
Term
control movement of materials in vascular cylinder of root
Definition
Casparian Strip
Term
T/F Increased frequency of stomatal openings reduce yield of photo products
Definition
F
Term
Which of the following is dead at functional maturity?
Definition
Vessel member
Term
Most growth takes place in terminal shoots and roots in
Definition
the zone of elongation
Term
A plant with a fibrous root system, leaves with parallel venation and a seed with a single cotyledon is probably a
Definition
corn plant
Term
All of the following are true about the vascular cambium EXCEPT:
Definition
It produces bark in woody plants.
Term
Root hairs occur on
Definition
epidermal cells in the zone of maturation
Term
A tree was girdled by completely removing a ring of bark from its entire circumference to a depth to, but not including, the sapwood.  This would most likely result in an inability to
Definition
transport carbohydrates to roots
Term

Which of the following contributes most to the movement of water through xylem?

Definition
Transpiration
Term
All of the following contribute to flowering mechanisms EXCEPT
Definition
chlorophyll
Term
During the middle of the night, a flowering plant was exposed to a sequence of red and far-red light in the following order:  red, far-red, red.  All of the following are true EXCEPT:
Definition
In short-day plants, flowering would be induced.
Term
All of the following are found in both roots and stems EXCEPT:
Definition
casparain strip
Term
When stomata are open in C3 plants, one would likely find
Definition
low CO2 levels in the leaf
Term
Ripening of fruit is promoted by
Definition
Ethylene
Term
All of the following occur in a phototropic response EXCEPT:
Definition
Auxin is produced at the shoot tip and diffuses down the stem
