What evidence suggests that ABA from roots can signal guard cells to close?a. If roots are given sufficient water, guard cells close anyway.b. If roots are dry, guard cells begin to close—even though leaves may not be experiencing water stress.c. Applying ABA on guard cells directly causes them to close.d. If roots are dry, the ABA concentration in leaf cells drops dramatically.

Plant hormones act by affecting the activities ofa. genes.b. membranes.c. enzymes.d. genes, membranes, and enzymes.

Why was it logical to predict that amyloplasts function as statoliths?a. They are dense and settle to the bottom of gravity-sensing cells.b. They are present only in gravity-sensing cells.c. They make a direct physical connection with membrane proteins that have been shown to be gravity-receptor molecules.d. Their density changes in response to gravity.

Which one of the following results would be expected?a. Individuals produced more lateral branches.b. Stems grew extremely tall and slender.c. Roots were incapable of responding to gravity.d. Stomata were closed most of the time.
