Question
Answer
Hormones   Chemical signals that coordinate parts of the organism  
🗑
Phototropism   The growth of a shoot towards light. Opposite of negative phototropism.  
🗑
Auxin   Any chemical substance that promotes the elongation of celeoptiles  
🗑
Cytokinins   Growth regulators  
🗑
Gibberellin   Chemical that causes advanced plant growth  
🗑
Abcisic Acid (ABA)   Produced in the terminal bud and slows down growth and directs leaf primordia to develop into the scales that will protect the dormant cells during winter  
🗑
Ethylene   A gaseous by-product of kerosene combustion. Used to ripen fruits.  
🗑
Senescence   A progression of irreversible change that eventually leads to death. Also known as aging.  
🗑
Oligosaccharins   Short chains of sugars released from cell walls by the hydrolytic action of enzymes on cellulose and pectin  
🗑
Brassinosteroids   Common plant hormones required for normal growth and development  
🗑
Gravitropism   Tendency for plants to adjust due to gravity (shoots - negative gravitropism, roots - positive gravitropism)  
🗑
Statoliths   Specialized plastids containing dense starch grains. Used to determine "up from down."  
🗑
Thigmotropism   Directional growth in response to touch  
🗑
Thigmomorphogenesis   Developmental response to mechanical peterbation  
🗑
Action Potentials   Electrical impulses in plants similar to nervous system in animals  
🗑
Sleep Movements   Changing positions of leaves due to the time of day  
🗑
Circadian Rhythm   A physiological cycle with a frequency of about 24 hours  
🗑
Photoperiodism   A physiological response to photoperiod, such as flowering  
🗑
Short-Day Plant   Requires a light period shorter than a critical length to flower  
🗑
Long-Day Plants   Requires a light period longer than a critical length to flower  
🗑
Day-Neutral Plants   Plants unaffected by photoperiod  
🗑
Phytochromes   Pigments that allow a plant to measure the length of darkness in a photoperiod  
🗑
Heat-Shock Proteins   Proteins produced by plants to survive heat stress  
🗑
Gene-For-Gene Recognition   Specific resistance to disease requiring a precise match-up between an allele in the plant and an allele in the pathogen  
🗑
Phytoalexins   Antimicrobial compounds  
🗑
PR Proteins   Pathogen related proteins produced by plants to fight pathogens  
🗑
Hypersensitive Response (HR)   Localized defense response. Enhanced production of phytoalexins and PR proteins occurs and the area is "sealed off."  
🗑
Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR)   Non-specific response providing plant against a diversity of pathogens for days. Triggered by HR.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
