Warm Up: Venus Flytrap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUDiDAbY3F8 The Venus flytrap (also Venus's flytrap or Venus' flytrap), Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States. It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids— with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap closes if a different hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against a waste of energy in trapping objects with no nutritional value. The Venus flytrap is a small plant whose structure can be described as a rosette of four to seven leaves, which arise from a short subterranean stem that is actually a bulblike object. Each stem reaches a maximum size of about three to ten centimeters, depending on the time of year; longer leaves with robust traps are usually formed after flowering. 1 AP Biology Agenda 1.

Signal Transducon and Plant Responses a. A signal transducon pathway couples _________________ of a smulus with ________________ of the organism to the smulus b. 3 stages of cell‐signaling process (Figure 39.2) i. ______________ ‐ target cells have receptors that are proteins that undergo changes in shape in response to a specific smulus ii. _______________ ‐ small internally produced chemicals (second messengers) transfer and amplify the signal from the receptor to proteins that cause the specific response iii. ________________ ‐ usually involves the increased acvity of certain enzymes 6 7 8 II. Plant Responses to Hormones a. General Informaon i. Hormones are relavely _________ molecules ii. They are produced by one part of the organism and translocated to _________ parts (trigger responses in target cells and ssues) iii. __________ quanes are required to induce big changes iv.

Turgor Movements (reversible; occur via __________ movement) 1. Rapid leaf movements 2. Sleep movements 18 1. Thrips are insects that feed on rose pollen. Scientists noted that the thrips population increased in the spring and decreased dramatically during the summer. The researchers hypothesized that food abundance was the limiting factor for the population. Which of the following types of data would be most useful for the scientists to collect at regular intervals on a designated test plot of rose plants? (A) Amount of sunlight (hours/day) (B) Mean temperature (C) (C) Density of rose pollen produced (g/m2) (D) Amount of pollen produced by each flower (g/flower) 19 1. C 20 2. Students in a class measured the mass of various living organisms. They then kept the organisms in the dark for 24 hours before remeasuring them. None of the organisms were provided with nutrients during the 24hour period. Which of the following is the best explanation for the pattern of change in mass of the organisms over time? (A) Water loss due to evaporation (B) Cellular respiration (C) The law of conservation of matter (D) Growth and reproduction 21 2.
