List and explain nonspecific immune defenses in plants found in a chaparral

1 answer:

6 0

Plants’ nonspecific immune responses includes cell-surface receptors (pattern recognition proteins) which allow them to identify certain patterns characteristic for pathogens. Activated receptors trigger the production of chemical signals that may initiate both local and systemic defense responses. Sometimes when a plant is affected by infection, it triggers rapid localized programmed cell death to stop the infection further. When it comes to defense form the herbivores, plants have physical barriers (plant cell walls and their extensions), some antibiotic compounds (phytoalexins), and even enzymes that can defend them.

Which of the following characteristics of plants is absent in their closest relatives, the charophyte algae?

Phoenix [80]

Answer: d. alternation of multicellular generations

Explanation:

The gametophytic as well as the sporophytic generations are alternative in the life cycle of the multicellular plants. This can be seen among the land plants. This feature cannot be seen in the algal species as they are unicellular in nature. Thus cannot be seen in the relatives of charophyta algae.

Which of the following processes involves the chloroplast?a. cell divisionb. conversion of light energy to chemical energyc. for

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\tt B. \ Conversion\ of\ light \ energy \ to \ chemical \ energy}$

Explanation:

This question asks us which process involves the chloroplast.

In plants, algae, and some bacteria, a process called <u>photosynthesis</u> occurs. This process takes place in the <em>chloroplasts. </em>In the process, the organism takes light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water, and turns it into glucose and oxygen.

The glucose that is made becomes the food and energy for the organism. In another process, called cellular respiration, the sugar is turned into ATP, a kind of useable energy.

The best answer choice is B. Conversion of light energy to chemical energy. The chloroplasts convert light energy to sugar, and the sugar becomes chemical energy.
