Arabidopsis membrane depolarization is characterized by all of the following statements EXCEPT:
A)plasma membrane depolarization spreads by passive electrical conduction
B)depolarization lasts much longer than a typical animal neuron action potential
C)Arabidopsis mutants can be used to identify receptors and ion channels involved in the depolarization events
D)depolarization leads to the response of increased photosynthesis by Arabidopsis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The other three statements are true regarding Arabidopsis membrane depolarization, but depolarization does not lead to the response of increased photosynthesis by Arabidopsis. Rather, depolarization is thought to play a role in systemic signaling within plant tissues.
