Question

Match the following chemicals with their descriptions. 1. abscisic acid chemicals produced by plants that stimulate stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering 2. auxins hormone that regulates survival functions of a plant, such as the opening and closing of stomata 3. cytokinins 3 chemicals that helps plant cells divide 4. ethylene 4 hormone that promotes ripening of fruit or blooming of flowers 5. gibberellins chemicals produced in plants that are characterized by their ability to induce cell elongation and cell division in stems

Answer 1

1. Gibberellins

2. Abscisic acid

3. Cytokinins

4. Ethylene

5. Auxins

Step-by-step explanation:

Hormones, generally, are chemicals produced in a specific part of an organism in order to bring about a physiological change in another part. Hormones produced by plants are classified into the following: Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Ethylene, and Abscisic acid. They effect the following major functions in plants:

- Gibberellins: These are hormones produced by plants that stimulate stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering.

- Abscisic acid: These are hormones that regulates survival functions of a plant such as the opening and closing of stomata.

- Cytokinins: These are chemicals/hormones that helps plant cells divide.

- Ethylene: These are hormones that promotes ripening of fruit or blooming of flowers.

- Auxins: These are chemicals or hormones produced in plants that are characterized by their ability to induce cell elongation and cell division in stems.
