  3. 7. saps, thorns, spines, and hairs are all kinds of _____ defenses.
  4. 9. the speed of seed germination, promotes stem elongation and induces early blooming
  5. 11. stem elongation and control seedling orientation. Stimulates root branching and cause plants to lean toward the sun

  1. 1. plants exhibit a growth response to touch, or physical contact with objects. This kind of response is called ________.
  2. 3. move toward _____ that sink downward in response to gravity. This encourages the plant to grow in the direction opposite gravity
  3. 4. play a large role in controlling this growth response to gravity
  4. 5. plants can _____ salt through their leaves to deal with living in saline environments
  5. 8. plants to respond to environmental cues by turning certain genes on or off.
