When levels of CO2 are experimentally increased, C3 plants generally respond with a greater increase in productivity than C4 plants. This is because

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. C   plants are more efficient in their use of CO2
  2. C   plants are able to obtain the same amount of CO2 by keeping their stomata open for shorter periods of time.
  3. C4 plants don’t use CO2 as their source of carbon.
  4. C3 plants are more limited than C4 plants by CO2 availability because of transpirational water loss.

Following figure regarding to regulatory network in the Arabidopsis shoot meristem stem-cell niche.

A. The transcription factor WUS is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the CLV3.

B. The transcription factor CLV3 is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the WUS.

C. Secreted CLV3 protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses WUS transcription.

D. Secreted WUS protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses CLV3 transcription.

Following statements are regarding to the the floral quartet model and the underlying ABCDE model of organ identity determination in Arabidopsis thaliana.

A. Five floral organ identities (sepals, petals, stamens, carpels, and ovules) are specified by the formation of floral organ-specific tetrameric complexes of MADS-domain transcription factors that bind to two nearby enhancer elements, forming a DNA loop in between.

B. A complex of two class A proteins (APETALA 1) and two class E proteins  (SEPALLATA) determines petal identity.

C. A complex of one class A protein, one class E protein, and one of each of the class B proteins (APETALA 3 and PISTILLATA) determines sepal identity.

D. A complex of one class E protein, two class B proteins, and one class C protein (AGAMOUS) determines stamen identity, while a complex of two class E proteins and two class C proteins determines carpel identity.D. A complex of one class E protein, two class B proteins, and one class C protein (AGAMOUS) determines stamen identity, while a complex of two class E proteins and two class C proteins determines carpel identity.

E. A complex of one class E protein, one class C protein, and one of each of the class D proteins (SHATTERPROOF and SEEDSTICK) controls ovule identity.
