Which group of plants are most sensitive to gibberellins? * How are gibberellins used in grape production? in celery production? in brewing? * What kind of biomolecule is cytokinin? * What effect do cytokinins have on plant cells? on animal cells? * In what plants and tissues were cytokinins discovered? In which tissues are they most commonly produced? * Why is ABA called a "growth-inhibitting hormone"? How is such a hormone useful? * In what tissues or structures does ABA usually function? * How does ABA make it easier to ship plants? * Which plant hormone is a gas? * What effect does ethylene have on flowers, leaves, and fruits? How is ethylene useful to fruit growers? * From where do plants get most of their nitrogen? In what form? * If there is so much nitrogen in the air, then why don't plants make use of it? * How does atmospheric nitrogen enter the nitrogen cycle? What organisms are responsible? * What are some ways in which nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere? * How is decay important to the nitrogen cycle? * What is a biome? * How much of the earth's surface is tundra?
