Which of the following processed are involve in cell enlargement in plant?

a) Osmotic uptake of water across the plasma membrane is driven by the gradient in water potential (∆Yw)

b) Turgor pressure builds up because of the rigidity of the cell wall

c) Biochemical wall loosening occurs, allowing the cell to expand in response to turgor pressure

In theory, auxin could increase the rate of proton extrusion by two possible mechanisms:

I) H+-ATPase activation

II) H+-ATPase synthesis

a) Auxin involves in the activation of ATP-driven proton-pump (H+-ATPase) indirectly

b) ABPs appear to be able to activate the plasma membrane H+-ATPase in the presence of auxin

c) Activity of the H+- ATPase is repressed by the C-terminal domain of the enzyme, which can block the catalytic site  in absence of auxin

d) The protein is synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and targeted via the secretory pathway to the plasma membrane
