Plants Can Defend Themselves with Highly Reactive Compounds That Cause

Question 44

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.
