Question

Ethylene is released fruit is ripening because of this Ethylene fruit nearby will also ripen what type of feedback is this

C. Partial
D. Neutral

Answer 1

Answer: B Positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Ethylene is the considered as the aging & growth for fruits.
2. Infact, it produced by some fruits when ripening begins in them.
3. It changes the texture & shape of the fruit during ripening process.
4. For fruits ripening, it is used in positive nature. And, if nearby fruit are ripening as well, it is no longer a problem until the other fruit is damaged or dies. And, this does not happen if the concentration of ethylene is too much.

Answer 2

Hi!

The answer would be B. Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive feedback mechanism is that in which a stimulus induces an output which in turn functions to magnify the same response (acting as a stimulus to itself).

As in this case, Ethylene acts as a stimulus for fruit ripening (response). When it is released during fruit ripening, it stimulates nearby fruits to ripen (response), which in turn acts to stimulate further fruits to ripen (response), resulting in the effect being widespread (magnified)

Hope this helps!
