Question

PLEASE HELP

Many plants have the ability to respond to herbivores. Some plants produce substances
which are distasteful or toxic in response to an herbivore attack. Which of these is the LEAST correction description of the plant system interactions involved?

A. Carbon dioxide diffuses through stoma into leaf tissues, where it is fixed into organic compounds
which may serve as building blocks for chemical defenses.

B. Root systems obtain water and key minerals from the soil where they are transported to the affected site.

C. Shoot systems carry carbon dioxide, water and nutrients from leaves directly to the affected
plant part, where chemical defense molecules are produced.

D. Chemicals found in a herbivore's saliva trigger chemical messengers which trigger production of
defense molecules

Answer 1

yeah

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical Defenses

The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves). They discourage animals by causing physical damage or by inducing rashes and allergic reactions. Some Acacia tree species have developed mutualistic relationships with ant colonies: they offer the ants shelter in their hollow thorns in exchange for the ants’ defense of the tree’s leaves.
