Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together. Match the information in column one with the information in column two and select an option that includes the correct matching of columns one and two. Let's take a look at the terms that are written in column one to try to match them with their proper definition in column two. Starting off with option J. We see stigma trope is um which looking at our options in column two, we know that the best statement that represents stigma trop ism is option three because stigma trop is um is the movement of leaf tendrils around solid objects. Next we're looking at option K. Grava trumpism which looking in column two, we know the option that best represents gravity trope is um is option for because gravity trope is um has to do with the roots growing toward the earth which you can think of gravity in this case. Next we're looking at option L which is photo trope is um which looking in column two, we can see the option that best represents photo trope is um is answer one is photo trumpism has to do with plants growing and bending towards the light or in this case the movement of a sunflower. Next is option m which says sleep movement which we know in column two. The option that best represents sleep movement is answer six which is the lowering of leaves of plants in the evening, which makes sense when we're talking about the evening, we're talking about sleep. So answer six is the best option for em. And lastly option and says chema trumpism and the option in column two that best represents that chemo trumpism is option two, which is the movements of fungal haif towards organic food. So looking at the options we've selected, we can see that J. Is three K. Four L. Is one, M. Is six and lastly and is two. And so the answer choice that best represents the matching that we have made is the answer choice. D. The correct answer because that is the order in which column one pairs with column two. And in case you are one, We do have one left over which is option five. The movement of chloroplast towards light, which is actually photo tactic and not an option that is listed in column one.
