Two other major groups of flavonoids found in flowers and leaves of all green plants. The function of these two flavonoids in plants are____

a) protect plants against being eaten by herbivores and against being infected by microbial pathogens

b) Protect cells from excessive UV-B radiation (280–320 nm) because they accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves and stems and absorb light strongly in the UV-B region       

c) flavones and flavonols secreted into the soil by legume roots mediate the interaction of legumes and nitrogen-fixing symbionts

d) They are are coloured terpenoid compounds that also serve as accessory pigments in photosynthesis

The Chemical Structure of ABA Determines Its Physiological Activity, 15 carbon compound 

a) The orientation of the carboxyl group at carbon 2 determines the cis and trans isomers of ABA. Nearly all the naturally occurring ABA is in the cis form

b) S enantiomer is the natural form; commercially available synthetic  ABA is a mixture of approximately equal amounts of the S and R forms.

c) The S enantiomer is the only one that is active in fast responses to ABA, such as stomatal closure

d) In long-term responses, such as seed maturation, only R-enantiomers are active

e) In contrast to the cis and trans isomers, the S and R forms cannot be interconverted in the plant tissue
