Plant hormones: how do plant hormones affect plant growth and development? seeds do not usually sprout in the winter—how do they know when to germinate? grocery stores need to have ripe, unbruised produce to sell to the public, but often this produce is packed weeks ahead of time and shipped hundreds of miles to get to the store. how does it ripen after harvest? there are several different plant hormones that to orchestrate plant growth, development, ripening, and responses to various environmental stimuli.

*will mark brainliest for first correct answer* which of the following is most likely to affect the biodiversity of a park ecosystem? a. less rain than usual for several months b. ongoing pollution from a nearby factory c. park rangers plant a new type of tree d. disease wipes out an entire population

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

How are the reproductive cycles of a fungus and a pteridophyte similar? a)both organisms form fruiting bodies that produce diploid seeds. b)both organisms produce haploid spores and exhibit diploid and haploid stages. c)both organisms reproduce sexually when two haploid hyphae fuse. d)both organisms exhibit a diploid stage and are only able to reproduce asexually.
