Question

Plant hormones act by affecting the activities of:

a. Genes

b. Membranes

c. Enzymes

d. Genes, membranes, and enzymes

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together, identify the incorrect option about plant hormones. So let's recall what we've learned about plant hormones and try to figure out which of the following statements is not correct. So looking at answer choice A. It says they have absolute control over how a plant grows and develops. This statement is true because hormones do have absolute control over how that plant grows and develops because those hormones stimulate pathways in the plant and these pathways could be anything from growth to decay. And so the hormones have absolute control of how plant grows and develops. Looking at Option B. They're always found in very large quantities. This statement it's false because we're talking about hormones and hormones are usually found in very small amounts because hormones are actually chemicals which in a tiny amount, stimulate a lot and have a large influence. And so since we're talking about those chemicals, they're usually found in a small amount. Whereas something like nutrients could be found in that larger amount. So answer choice B is a possible answer, since it is an incorrect statement. But let's continue looking at the answer choices B and D. Answer choice C. Says they influence the actions of genes, membranes enzymes. This statement is a correct statement because those hormones do have a huge influence on the actions of jeans membranes and enzymes within a plant. Because the plant hormones control all of those hormones control stuff like cell division or even gene expression. So something like gene aggression as well as other things like transcription and membrane potential and permeability. So answer choice C. Is a true statement and then answer choice D. Says All statements are incorrect, which we know is incorrect because answer choices A and C. Are correct statements. So answers A and C are not what we're looking for, leaving us with answer choice B. The correct answer because that is the only statement here about plant hormones. That is incorrect.
