Plants Can Defend Themselves with Highly Reactive Compounds That Cause

question 24

Multiple Choice

Plants can defend themselves with highly reactive compounds that cause very general toxic effects because:

• A)they can sequester these compounds in specialized tissues.
• B)they can store these compounds in subcellular compartments separate from their activating enzymes, so the compounds are activated only when the cell is mechanically damaged.
• C)their metabolisms are so different from animals that there is no overlapping sensitivity to toxins between plants and herbivores.
• D)plant cell walls form a metabolically inactive space within the plant that can store toxins without poisoning the metabolically active cytoplasm inside the cells.
