Plant Physiology. Plants, like all organisms, need to be able to respond to external signals or stimuli.

(A) What are some of the abiotic and biotic factors to which plants respond? In general terms, how do plants sense and respond to such signals? Consider what is actually happening at the cellular and molecular scale to induce a response based on a stimulus. (Again, you don’t need to describe a specific stimulus or response here, just in general how a stimulus can induce a response in plants.)
-

(B) Now choose one specific stimulus involved in a tropism or photoperiodic response in plants and describe specifically what the response entails and how exactly the stimulus leads to the response. Consider what hormones or proteins are involved and how they help induce the particular response.

Trees and most plants simply keep growing. There are no signals for these organisms to stop getting bigger. Many animals, humans included, only grow up to a certain size. Propose a mechanism by which humans only grow to a particular size. I’m not looking for a specific answer you can find somewhere, I simply want you to think about how you stop growing taller after a certain age. You will need to think about how you control growth from when...
