Where is light sensed to initiate
phototropism in grass seedlings?
Light is sensed at the tip of a coleoptile.
Light is not sensed at the tip of the coleoptile.

Light responsible for triggering phototropism is

This interpretation
explains the hormone
concept, but does not
explain differential
growth on the lighted

coleoptile…
Based on what you
know about
gravitropism, give a
parsimonious (i.e.
parallel) interpretation.
Biology:
life study of
What is Life?
Properties of Life
Cellular Structure: the unit of life, one or many
Metabolism: photosynthesis, respiration, fermentation,
digestion, gas exchange, secretion, excretion,
circulation--processing materials and energy
Growth: cell enlargement, cell number
Movement: intracellular, movement, locomotion
Reproduction: avoid extinction at death
Behavior: short term response to stimuli
Evolution: long term adaptation
Obtaining Food
Autotrophs use ambient energy and carbon
dioxide to make their own organic molecules.
So the only matter they need to take up is
minerals!
Sadly they are sometimes called “plant food.”
Johann Baptista van Helmont
1577-1644
Physician Scientist
In 1648 experiment with Salix
(willow) he tested whether the
bulk of a plant comes from the
soil or from some other source.
His experiment was carefully
documented but, because he
was so far ahead of his time,
his conclusion was wrong.
Interestingly, however, his
results suggest that plants do
use soil minerals for growth.
In the light of knowledge of
carbon dioxide gas, the project
shows that the plant grows
mostly from air.

Because the role of air was not
understood yet, van Helmont
concluded that the weight increase
was due only to water…WRONG.

Could it be

This decrease could be sample
error, or minerals taken from
the soil by the growing plant.
Autotrophic Organisms
Typically autotrophs carry out photosynthesis:
light
CO2 + H2O
O2 + CH2O
chlorophyll
As you can see, the plant needs NO food.
But the enzymes and ion transporters for photosynthesis
require metal cofactors:
The essential macroelements are:
CHOPKNS CaFe Mg
The essential microelements are:
CuMn CoZn Si Mo B Al Cl
