the higher the light intensity, the shorter the length between the plant internodes, and vice-versa. This can be explained through a conditon called etiolation.

What is nodes and internodes?

In botany, nodes are the points on a plant stem where leaves, branches, or flowers emerge. Internodes are the segments of the stem located between two consecutive nodes. Together, nodes and internodes contribute to the plant's structure, influencing its height, growth pattern, and overall development. The length of internodes can vary significantly among different plant species and can affect light exposure and competition for resources.


What effect would a higher pH have on the temperatures optimum for invertase?

The temperature optimum can be affected by pH if the pH chosen for a particular experiment deviates from the pH optimum for invertase


Large internodes in roses?

Large internodes in roses can indicate rapid growth due to favorable environmental conditions, such as ample sunlight and water. However, excessively long internodes may also suggest a lack of pruning or insufficient light, leading to leggy plants. It can affect the overall aesthetics and health of the rose bush, making it more susceptible to diseases and pests. Proper care, including regular pruning and ensuring adequate light, can help maintain balanced growth.


What effect on bacteria of temperatures below optimum?

What are the function of internodes?

Internodes are the segments of a plant stem that lie between two nodes, where leaves or branches are attached. Their primary functions include supporting the structure of the plant, allowing for vertical growth and maximizing light exposure for photosynthesis. Internodes also play a role in the transport of nutrients and water between the roots and the leaves. Additionally, their length can influence the overall shape and growth pattern of the plant.


In relation to spectroscopy what is the Optimum wavelength and how to find it?

The optimum wavelength is the wavelength by which the most light is absorbed by a substance. It can be found by finding the highest absorbance obtained when testing the substance's absorbance at various wavelengths. The wavelength that results in the greatest light absorbance is your optimum wavelength.


Are the internodes of the stem of the same length?

yes


What makes plant to grow?

Optimum temperature, light, minerals, CO2 and moisture etc.


What is the name for the cleft between the internodes of the myelin sheath?

The cleft between the internodes of the myelin sheath is called the node of Ranvier. This region is important for the propagation of action potentials along the axon.


What is the optimum wavelength of light absorbed by chlorophyll and why?

The optimum wavelength of chlorophyll is 430nm (in a light spectrum of 380nm-750nm going in 10 incements) We did a lab and it required us to determine the optimum wavelength of chlorophyll by testing the absorbance of light in 10nm increments from 380nm-750nm. Optimum wavelength is the wavelength of light that is absorbed best by a substance. So when we tested all the wavelngths 380-750 in 10 increments (380,390,400,410,420....) 430 had the highest absorbance. we used a Spec 20 machine to find the absorbance.


What are the functions of a microscopes diaphragm?

How do you spell optimum?

Optimum is correct.
