Some plants can produce Methyl salicylate when fed on by insects. This production can help to deter insect feeding. Which phrase below best describes how this production decreases insect feeding. Involved in a pathway of constitutive plant defenses Involved in a pathway leading to reflexive bleeding Involved in a pathway related to direct plant defenses Involved in a pathway of indirect plant defense

Many plants have the ability to respond to herbivores. Some plants produce substances which are distasteful or toxic in response to an herbivore attack. Which of these is the LEAST correction description of the plant system interactions involved? A. Carbon dioxide diffuses through stoma into leaf tissues, where it is fixed into organic compounds which may serve as building blocks for chemical defenses. B. Root systems obtain water and key minerals from the soil where they are transported to the affected site. C. Shoot systems carry carbon dioxide, water and nutrients from leaves directly to the affected plant part, where chemical defense molecules are produced. D. Chemicals found in a herbivore's saliva trigger chemical messengers which trigger production of defense molecules
