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.

Changing environmental conditions, such as temperature or PH, can effect enzyme shape how would this alter the enzymes function?
dlinn [17]

Raising the temperature will denature an enzyme so that it is no longer functional. Lowering the temperature will reduce the rate of the reaction so low as to make it seem non-functional. Altering the pH above or below its optimum pH will also reduce the enzyme's activity, and at extremes the enzyme may be permanently denatured.

What organelle does “Pompe Disease” affect in the cell, and how does this disease affect someone’s life?
lana [24]
Pompe is a disease in which u have a defect in the lysosome (an organelle found in every eukaryotic cell). The gene should be making a certain enzyme but it doesn't. This causes things to build up in cells that shouldn't be there. This type if disease is progressive and can be fatal. The treatment for this disease is very expensive. A person would need enzyme replacement therapy...which is not cheap. It will drastically affect a person's life. One can have progressive muscle weakness (where they require a walker or wheel chair), respiratory problems (where a breathing tube might be needed) , and heart defects.
