Control system in plants: types of plant hormones, examples of hormone function. Plant rhythms: some plant processes (flowering etc. ) follow a daily cycle suggesting plants have rhythms, how do plants keep track of time, ex. Given a bucket of water and 3 bowls design a machine to measure the passage of time. You do not have to use all of the equipment (clicker: measure passage of time by reduction of something, or accumulation of something. Auxin in stem elongation: apical meristem produces auxin, transported down the shoot (only) Two major systems (figure45. 2: endocrine, hormones secreted into blood stream, nervous, neurotransmitters secreted into the synapse (junction) between neurons. Differences: endocrine, broadcasts the signal throughout a broad area (via blood stream, nervous system, sends the signal directly to a target cell (via neuron/s)
