Plant and animal responses
Across
- 3. stimulus. Controlled by auxin causing cell elongation.
- 4. Can be intraspecific or interspecific. Both parties lose out somewhat.
- 6. A rhythm with a period of approximately 29.5 days.
- 8. A feeding relationship where both species benefit
- 9. A means of orientation during migration –eg star patterns, using the sun as a compass, visual cues/landmarks, smell, major wind currents, major water currents.
- 11. A feature which enables an organism to have some increased likelihood of reproductive success.
- 12. once the night length is longer than a critical period.
- 13. A ranked order according to dominance with each member (except the alpha) being submissive to others.
- 14. The process by which the biological clock is kept in check with the environment, clock is entrained by a zeitgeber.
- 16. The repeated mass movement of a group resulting in greater reproductive success.Usually a return trip.
- 17. A response by an animal to a change in intensity of a diffuse (non-directional)environmental stimulus.
- 19. The ability of an animal to find its way
- 20. Rhythm Externally controlled (by environmental cues).
- 23. A reversible plant movement response to a non-directional environmental stimuli.Controlled by water movement.
- 24. A photoreceptor pigment involved in flowering-exists in two forms phytochrome red (P r ) and phytochrome far red (P fr ). P fr is the biologically active form.
- 25. A biological response to a change in the
- 27. Includes predation, parasitism and herbivory
- 28. A plant which will only be induced to flower once the night length is shorter than a critical period.
Down
- 1. The area which an animal marks and defends and which contains all the resources it needs to safely raise offspring.
- 2. This resets a biological clock and keeps the activity entrained to the changes in the environment.
- 4. A rhythm with a period of approximately 12.5 hours.
- 5. over unfamiliar territory.
- 7. A response by an animal to a directional environmental stimulus. Must state whether it is positive or negative.
- 10. of light and dark in a 24 hour
- 13. The area in which an animal will roam (not marked or defended).
- 15. An internal timing mechanism (controlled by genes).
- 18. A plant which will only be induced to
- 21. A rhythm with a period of approximately 24 hours.
- 22. A plant growth response to a directional
- 26. Rhythm Internally controlled (by genes).
