Question 1

Question

Answer
  • A.When one hormone is elevated, the other is low

Question 2

Question
Suppose you are a Calcium ion in the soil and the plant nearby depends on you for some of its signal transduction properties. After hanging around in the soil for a while, you want to find your way into the xylem of the plant. Upon encountering the root hair, you stumble upon a lot of cellulose and migrate along what seems like an easy route to the xylem until you encounter this impenetrable obstacle. Which choice below describes this scenario best?
Answer
  • You, the calcium ion, found your way into the apoplastic route and have just encountered the vascular cambium and cannot cross into the xylem
  • you, the calcium ion, found your way into the symplastic route and after crossing through several plasmodesmata realized you can't enter the xylem since you are a positively charged ion and can't cross cell membranes
  • you, the calcium ion, found your way into the apoplastic route and have just encountered the casparian strip. In order to get into the xylem, you must cross the plasma membrane of that endodermal cell.
  • You, the calcium ion, found your way into the symplastic route but encountered a dead tracked and it's lignified walls are keeping you out.
