What idea did Ani Liu have for engineering a special plant for "lonely women"? Creating hormone-containing lipsticks that cause plants to grow/blossom where they are kissed. Engineering plants to move towards the sound of a particular persons voice. Spraying the plant with chemicals that change the type of flower it produces. All of these

Imagine you are a plant trying to attract insects by smell. Below are three possible scenarios. Read them and then fill the table at the end that would best describe the chemicals produced and the olfactory system targeted for each case. a) You are a generic plant that just wants to be pollinated. Something like an apple tree. What smell (chemicals) would you produce to succeed in your quest? What olfactory system would you target? b) Imagine you are a carnivorous plant trying to attract an insect by the smell of flowers and eat it. But the insect keeps evolving to avoid the smell and not to be eaten. You can imagine the evolutionary pressure is pretty strong. What attractant (type of chemical) should the plant produces that the insect could not evolve to ignore or that would make it very difficult for them to do so?

Went's experiment differed from all previous plant tropism experiments by A. determining the chemical properties and structure of a hormone that influences plant growth. B. demonstrating that plants respond to indirect light by growing toward the light. C. isolating a plant hormone from one plant and using it to change growth patterns in a different plant. D. showing that the coleoptile portion of a plant is essential in responding to light signals.

You have been hired as a field assistant for a researcher interested in the evolution of flower characteristics in orchids. Design an experiment to determine whether color, size, shape, scent, or amount of nectar is the most important factor in attracting pollinators to a particular species. Assume that you can change any flower's color with a dye and that you can remove petals or nectar stores, add particular scents, add nectar by injection, or switch parts among species by cutting and gluing.
