Plant Evolution & Biology
1. List the characteristics of the members of the kingdom Plantae.
2. Recall Photosynthesis. How are the reactants acquired? What can be done with
the products?
3. Define root hairs. How do they increase plant efficiency?
4. Describe how negative feedback works in plants response to water and light
limitations. Describe positive feedback works in ripening of fruit.
5. Plants respond to changes in their environment through behavioral and
physiological mechanisms. Describe phototropism and photoperiodism in plants.
6. Explain plant mechanisms against pathogens.
7. Explain how temperature and water availability effect seed germination in plants.
8. Summarize how plants use cell communication to regulate plant responses to
internal and external stimuli (ex. hormones, plasmodesmata, plant immune
response, prevention of herbivory, etc).
9. Give some examples of symbiotic relationships with plants and other organisms.
10. Describe how vascular fluid moves throughout a plant using the transpirationcohesion and mass flow theories; apply these theories to hypothetical situations.
11. Define transpiration in terms of water potential. Relate leaf modifications to water
conservation.
