The Environment and Plant Responses
Quiz 13B
![Page 2: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Plant Growth
Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.

Plant Growth
Growth in plants can result in an increase in length, or an increase in thickness, or both.

Plant Growth
The special areas where growth is occurring in plants are called meristems. These areas are easily spotted under a microscope because the recently divided or dividing plant cells are smaller and more dense and have either larger nuclei or visible chromosomes. Meristems are these regions where many cells are undergoing cell division (mitosis).
![Page 5: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Plant Growth
Meristems are located near the tips of stems and roots and between a plant’s xylem and phloem.

Two Types of Meristems
apical meristems: those meristems at the tips of stems and roots.

Two Types of Meristems
lateral meristems: a region of celldivision locatedparallel to the sidesof a plant(responsible for growth in thickness; vascular cambium and cork cambium)

Plant Growth
Hormones are one way aplant’s growth is controlled.Hormones are chemicalsubstances which are madeby plants and which affecthow plant tissue growth by stimulating plant cells to divide, to enlarge, or to stop growing.

Plant Hormone
auxin: a plant growth hormone produced in the growing tips of plants.

Tropism
• the growth responses of plants to their environment
• a plant's directional growth response to a physical stimulus
• the growth of plants in response to external stimuli such as light, gravity, or contact
![Page 11: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Tropism
• positive tropism: when the plant grows toward the stimulus
• negative tropism: when the plant grows away from the stimulus
![Page 12: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Types of Tropism
1. phototropism – light
2. gravitropism – gravity
3. thigmotropism - touch
4. chemotropism - chemicals

Plants and Light
Quiz 13B Continued
![Page 21: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Characteristics of light that are significant for plant growth
1. Intensity
etiolated - the condition of a plant when grown in the absence of light elongated stems with small, pale leaves
![Page 22: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Characteristics of light that are significant for plant growth
2. Duration
duration - the length of daylight affects the photoperiodism of plants the chief factor affecting flowering
![Page 23: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Photoperiodism
the response of a plant to changes in the length of daylight
(the reponses of a plant to changes in light intensity and length of days)
It often determines whether ornot a plant produces flowers.
![Page 24: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Photoperiodism
Some plants can accurately measure the length of light and darkness to within minutes so they will flower at precisely the right time of year.
![Page 25: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Types of Plants regarding Photoperiodism
• Short-day plants
• Long-day plants
• Neutral-day plants
![Page 26: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Short-dayplants
plants that flower when exposed to less than 12 hours of sunlight
(bloom when the daysare short and the nights are long)
![Page 27: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Short-day plants
examples: chrysanthemums,corn, strawberries, apples,soybeans, violets, ragweed
flower naturally out-of-doors in the early spring or in late summer and fall
![Page 28: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Short-day plants
Nurserymen can delay the natural blooming schedule by placing the chrysanthemums in a greenhouse and illuminating them for a short period of time during the night. The plants repond to this lighting arrangement just as they would to days consisting of long periods of sunlight. The flowering hormone is not formed, and
![Page 29: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Short-day plants
the flowering of these plants is artificially delayed. When the nurserymen are ready for the chrysanthemums to flower (usually in Oct. or Nov. - in time for football season), they suspend the nightly periods of illumination. This same procedure has been used successfully with other short-day plants such as poinsettia, dahlia, and aster.

Long-day plants
require more than 12 hours of light
bloom with long periods of light and short periods of darkness
generally flower during late spring and summer
examples: clover, gladiolus, sunflowers, beets, lettuce, grains
![Page 31: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Neutral-dayplants
flower independently of a photoperiod
bloom whenever conditions like moisture and temperature are acceptable regardless of the amount of light or darkness
![Page 32: The Environment and Plant Responses Quiz 13B. Plant Growth Plants respond to their environment by the way they grow or do not grow.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020117/56649cd95503460f949a36b7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Neutral-day plants
usually flower continuouslyif other conditions (temp.,moisture, etc.) are favorable
examples: tomato, dandelion, hybrid roses, beans, zinnias, cotton
