Biography

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Ecology, Behavior and Evolution after graduating from UC San Diego in 2019. I am beginning a career that intersects ecology and outreach, where I can educate the importance of conservation to a wide range of audiences. Most recently, I worked as a Program Instructor for Girl Scouts of Northern California, where I delivered various STEM curricula to girls in elementary school. I have experience as an in-classroom tutor for both middle and high school aged students, and as a mental health advocate for college aged students. I also have experience in the service industry, where I grew my interpersonal skills. I am interested in Numerade because I will have the chance to hone my skills as an instructor, along with the appeal of helping people to learn, which is rewarding for any type of educator!

If a plant is touched repeatedly over the course of many days or if it experiences long-term exposure to wind, what happens?
a. Growth of the root system is accelerated, making the plant more stable.
b. Large-scale changes in gene expression occur, resulting in shoots that are short and stout.
c. Electrical signals cause leaves to fold up, avoiding damage.
d. Continued mechanical stimulation indicates that the individual is threatened with destruction, so it initiates flowering in an attempt to reproduce before it dies.

What evidence suggests that ABA from roots can signal guard cells to close?
a. If roots are given sufficient water, guard cells close anyway.
b. If roots are dry, guard cells begin to close-even though leaves are not experiencing water stress.
c. Applying ABA on guard cells directly causes them to close.
d. If roots are dry, ABA concentrations in leaf cells drop dramatically.
