1. Describe two beneficial instances and two detrimental ones for reactive oxygen species (ROS). For two of your choices explain how the ROS are kept from getting out of hand.
2. Germinating seedlings how do the plants often convert large quantities of oils into glucose for support of their rapid growth? Humans cannot do this. How do the plants do it?
3. Predict what would happen if the Calvin cycle continued to run in the dark. How do plants avoid this potential catastrophe?
4. What are two effects common to both drought and salinity on plants? Describe briefly how plants respond?
5. Most known signal receptors in plants are kinases. However, a few well-characterized receptors are not kinases. List, and briefly discuss two such receptors (that are not kinases) involved in signal transduction pathways.
6. RNA silencing has become an important tool in plant functional genomics, and even in animal research. Describe briefly how you could use the RNA silencing approach to address some of your research questions.
