Understand this objective

Short explanation

In the subtopic Control and coordination, this learning objective focuses on state (HT only) that the detailed mechanisms of gibberellin and ethene action are not required. Within Plant hormones (biology only), students should explain this idea in the exact curriculum context rather than as an isolated fact. Approved keywords for this objective include ethene and HT only. gibberellin means a plant hormone that promotes growth and is involved in processes such as seed germination and flowering. Avoid students often believe they need to know the detailed mechanisms of gibberellin and ethene action; instead focus on the fact that the detailed mechanisms are not required; instead, concentrate on the general roles of gibberellins and ethene in plant growth. For exam answers, memorize the key terms related to gibberellins and ethene, but remember that detailed mechanisms are not required.
