During  a  field  trip,  an  instructor  touched  a  moth  resting  on  a  tree  trunk.  The  moth  raised  its  forewings  to  reveal large eyespots on its hind wings. The instructor asked why the moth lifted its wings. One student answered that sensory  receptors  had  fired  and  triggered  a  neuronal  reflex  culminating  in  the  contraction  of  certain  muscles.  A second student responded that the behaviour might frighten predators. Which statement best describes these explanations?

#6. System Physiology – Plant

Early-acting stress sensors provide the initial signal for the stress response,  several possible examples of stress-sensing mechanisms that act early in the pathway have been identified. They include:

A) calcium channel (cyclic nucleotide-gated calcium channel) that senses changes in temperature

B) A kinase (SnRK1, a SNF1-related kinase 1) that senses energy depletion during stress

C) A plasma membrane histidine kinase (ATHK1) that senses osmotic stress

D) A leucine rich repeat receptor kinase (LRRK) protein (Srlk)

E) An endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane sensor inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)

And activating several response after sensing these mechanisms;

i) activates hundreds of stress-response transcripts

ii) that functions as an upstream regulator of salinity responses in Arabidopsis

iii) that is required for acclimation to heat stress

iv) that is required for heat tolerance in plants

v) activates ABA-dependent and ABA-independent responses

Which of the following is the correct match the activating response with its sense mechanism;
