AI Thread Summary
Removing the meristem from coleptiles is expected to impact cell growth significantly, with auxin concentration playing a crucial role. In the experiment, coleptiles without meristems placed in water may show reduced cell growth compared to those treated with a 2mg/ml auxin solution. The auxin is likely to stimulate cell elongation and division, leading to a higher number of cells in the auxin-treated group. Observations should focus on the differences in cell count and growth patterns between the two groups. Understanding these effects can provide insights into plant growth regulation mechanisms.

auxins experiment Thanks :)

What would you expect to happen when you removed the meristem from 10 coleptiles, then placed five in water and the other five in auxin concentration of (2mg/ml)?

What would you notice about the number of cells for each section?

Welcome rosie to PF forums! If you have not already taken a look around, take some time to do so. You will notice there a lot of interesting and informative discussions and knowledgeable folks here who can help guide you through questions and discussion.

Your question about auxins is very interesting.. It looks like homework.. If so, it belongs under another topic on the forum .. here

Once there, I recommend reading through this https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=94384. It helps clarify how to go about posting queries. If you like we can have this auxin post moved there.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
