Question
Chapter 37, Problem 6TYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the statement that phytochromes are “shade detectors,” while phototropins are “sunlight detectors” is valid or not.
Introduction:
Photoreceptors are the light-sensitive proteins found in the plants that absorb different light waves. Phytochromes and phototropins are the types of photoreceptors.

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) can attach and mark other proteins with fluorescence, enabling scientists to see the presence of a particular protein. In an experiment to understand the molecular physiology behind the GA-induced seed germination, a GFP-tagged protein was observed to be moving from the cytoplasm into the nucleus of aleurone layer cells before the detection of alpha-amylase in the endosperm. Based on your knowledge, identify the possible protein(s) with which the GFP is attached in the given situation. Justify your answer.
The figure attached shows an open stoma during a gaseous exchange process in a plant.
A) What is 'y'?
B) Elaborate the gaseous exchange process in plants by considering the influence of 'y' on the turgidity of guard cells.

Unlike C3 and CAM plants, C4 plants, such as corn and sugarcane, have leaves with vascular bundles that are surrounded by a chloroplast-rich vascular bundle sheath, which is further surrounded by the spongy mesophyll.arrow_forward

B) what is the effect of temperature on germinating peas?arrow_forwardThe oat coleoptiles of the seedlings (in the picture) have been modified: either cut or placed in a light-blocking tube.
