3 | 2 | 8 |
4 | 3.5 | 12 |
5 | 4 | 18 |
6 | 4.5 | 25 |
7 | 5 | 20 |
8 | 6 | 10 |
9 | 7.5 | 8 |
10 | 8 | 6 |
11 | 9 | 5 |
12 | 10 | 5 |
(a) Plot a graph to show the relationship between cytokinin concentration and shoot development.
(b) Use the graph to describe the effect of cytokinin concentration on shoot development.
(c) What advice should be given to the farmer based on the results from the graph?
(d) List (2) two substances in plants, (ii) two substances in animals which have similar effect as cytokinins.
