Match the terms with the best available answers. In CAM plants, when stomata are closed during the day…. CO2 levels are very {#1} in the leaf. PEP carboxylase is {#2} in the daylight. Malic acid diffuses out of the {#3} and is decarboxylated.

Complete the statements by filling in the blank with the correct choice. The above diagram indicates that the pH of the well-watered condition is A) {#1} and the water stressed condition is B) {#2}.  The form of ABA is C) {#3} under well watered conditions allowing for redistribution of ABA and D) {#4} under water stressed conditions so that more of it moves to the guard cells and promotes {#5}.  When ABA reaches the guard cells it has been found to inhibit the inward {#6} and activating the outward {#7} so that the water potential is {#8} outside than inside the guard cell.  

Which of the following was the first hormone discovered in plants?

The Casparian Strip is thickened radially and transversely in the endodermal walls causing water to move via the ________________ pathway through the endodermis.

Plant adaptations to salinity are of three distinct types: osmotic stress tolerance, Na+ or Cl− exclusion, and the tolerance of tissue to accumulated Na+ or Cl−.  In Case Study 1 you learned that tomatoes adapted to salinity by osmotic stress tolerance through decreased [[2]], and osmotic adjustment through accumulation of [[4]].

These two properties of water are important to plants in that they are thought to play a role in water movement within the plant.
