Students testing the effects of solute concentration in soil on plant transpiration noticed a significant decrease in transpirat

ion when abscisic acid was used as the solute. Even at molar concentrations less than 0.2 M, transpiration seemed to stop almost completely.
a) Make a claim as to which structural and/or physiological component of transpiration is affected by the presence of abscisic acid.
b) Explain the reasoning that supports your claim.

Answer:

look in textbook - concept 29.6

Explanation:

Drought stress can also cause stomata to close. A hormone called abscisic acid (ABA) is produced in roots and leaves in response to water deficiency and signals guard cells to close stomata. This response reduces wilting but also restricts CO2 absorption, thereby slowing photosynthesis. ABA also directly inhibits photosynthesis. Water availability is so tied to plant productivity not because water is needed as a substrate in photosynthesis but because freely available water allows plants to keep stomata open and take up more CO2.

abscisic acid (ABA): A plant hormone that slows growth, often antagonizing the actions of growth hormones. Two of its many effects are to promote seed dormancy and facilitate drought tolerance.

The primary ethical guidelines that apply to this experiment are those of human experimentation.

The use of humans as subjects of experimentation would seem to demean their human dignity. The issue of abuse of the human subjects and also the prospects of the clinical trial going wrong (such as causing an adverse effect on the subjects) also raise ethical challenges even when the subjects are volunteers.  In case of a clinical error, what is the right compensation?

Katena32 [7]

So let’s substitute that into the third equation and solve for B. B = H + T B = 9 + (9 + 1/2B) B = 18 + 1/2B Then subtract 1/2B from both sides: 1/2B = 18 Multiply both sides by two: B = 36 Now we know the value of B and the value of H. Substitute this back into the second equation and solve for T. T = H + 1/2B T = 9 + (1/2)36 T = 9 + 18 = 27 Step 4: Plug all values of H, T, and B into the final equation. Total length of fish = H + T + B Total length of fish = 9 +27 + 36 = 72.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The amphipathic property of the phospholipids that constitute the membrane

Explanation:

It seems like a options-based answer so it would be better if they were included here but basically, each of those phospholipid molecules has two parts with antagonistic reactions towards water.

The head is polar or hydrophilic, wich means it can be sorrounded by water. The tail, is apolar or hydrophobic which means it is repelled by water.

The interior and exterior of the cell is contain water-based substances, that's why the heads of the phospholipids are oriented like that with the tails protected inside the membrane.

This double layer structure has a fundamental role in the fluid property of the cell membrane from which derive most of it's functions.

Fudgin [204]
<span>The barn owl's right ear opens slightly upward while its left ear opens slightly downward. this difference enables the owl to detect the location of a sound. It would actually depend on the location of where it would be at, and based on this, depending where it would then be located, this would then be able to differentiate where it would be located.</span>

Anarel [89]
The correct answer to this question is letter " a. metaphor." <span>Your words are bees about a pear-tree. From that statement, it is comparing words to the bees without the use of any keywords like "like and as ... as." So this is definitely a metaphor, not a simile.</span>
