Summary Introduction

To review:

The evidence indicating that plants contain a receptor for blue light.

Introduction:

Plants respond to different lights differently. This is possible due to the photoreceptors that are present on the surfaces. These receptors are the main sites for signal transduction that occurs after they receive light. The quality and quantity of light reaching these receptors determine the growth pattern of the plant.

1. A) Describe the three steps (Reception, Transduction, Response) of de-etiolation (greening response) signal transduction in plants. B) Describe a signal transduction (give the stimulus and response) that may occur in humans.
why is the phytochrome receptor of plant cells blue in color?
The oat coleoptiles of the seedlings (in the picture) have been modified: either cut or placed in a light-blocking tube. Explain which ones will stills bend toward a directional light source??
