The correct answer is; b. False

A hormone is not an organ. Hormones are chemical substances that are produced in the endocrine glands in the body. Hormones act as special messengers by controlling almost all bodily functions such as hunger, reproduction, emotions and mood. Examples of hormones and their major function are insulin (metabolic hormone), estrogen (sex hormone), adrenalin (stress hormone), ghrelin (hunger hormone), leptin (satiety hormone), melatonin (sleep hormone), testosterone (sex hormone) and thyroid (growth hormone).

kondaur [170]

Answer:

promote stomatal closure during drought stress.

Explanation:

Abscisic acid inhibits the growth and stomatal opening, specifically when the plants are exposed to some stress conditions. Abscisic acid also regulates the seed maturation and seed dormancy. ABA concentration in leaves increases multiple folds under drought conditions. Its accumulation in leaves promotes closure of stomata and prevents the water loss by transpiration. ABA is required to restore the turgor pressure under drought conditions by stimulation of stomatal closure.

what is the meaning of phosphoryl transfer potential and what does it mean to have a high or low phosphoryl transfer potential?
makvit [3.9K]

Phosphoryl-transfer potential is the ability of an organic molecule to transfer its terminal phosphoryl group to water which is an acceptor molecule. It is the “standard free energy of hydrolysis”.

Explanation:

This potential plays a key role during cellular energy transformation by energy coupling during ATP hydrolysis.  

A compound with a high phosphoryl-transfer potential has the increased ability to couple the carbon oxidation with ATP synthesis and can accelerate cellular energy transformation.  

A compound with a high phosphoryl-transfer potential can readily donate its terminal phosphate group; whereas, a compound with a low has a lesser ability to donate its phosphate group.

ATP molecules have a high phosphoryl transfer potential due to its structure, resonance stabilization, high entropy, electrostatic repulsion and stabilization by hydration. Compounds like creatine phosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate also have high phosphoryl-transfer potential.
