Gibberellin
Abscisic Acid
 Ethylene

Know which plant hormone maintains seed dormancy.
Know which plant hormones stimulate fruit formation from the ovary of the flower.
Know which plant hormone promotes fruit ripening.
Know which plant hormone promotes leaf abscission.

---------------Ch. 40 Basic Principles of Animal Form and Function---------------

Know the four categories of tissue types.

Know the difference between ectotherms and endotherms (w/examples) & give an example in which an "ectotherm" becomes endothermic in maintaining body temperature.

Define the following heat exchange processes: conduction, convection, radiation, & evaporation.

Match the following adaptations with the type(s) of heat exchange they most greatly affect. hair & feathers (provide dead air space for reducing convective heat loss); sweating & panting (evaporative heat loss); dilating blood vessels in an elephant's ears (radiant heat loss); a lizard "sunning" or catching the sun rays to warm up (radiant heat gain); a lizard pressed against the warm rock surface (conductive heat gain).
