Sclerenchyma
29
Flowering and fruit development
Gibberellin
30
Apical Dominance
Auxin
31
Cell division and growth. For Germination
Cytokinin
32
Fruit ripening. Antagonistic to Auxin
Ethylene
33
Closes stomata during water stress. Promotes seed dormancy and inhibits growth
Abscisic Acid
34
Regulates own temperature by controlling the internal heat it produces
Endotherm
35
Regulation of body temperature depends on the environment. Ex. Frogs
Ectotherm
36
Maintains a stable internal body temperature regardless of external influence. Ex. Humans
Homeotherm
37
Cannot regulate own body temperature except by behavioral means such as basking or burrowing.
Poikilotherm
