Question
Match the following:
Herbicide Mode of action I. Paraquat A. Seeding shoot growth inhibitor II. Glyphosate B. PS-II inhibitor III. Metolachlor C.Cell membrane disrupters IV. Pendimethalin D.EPSP synthase inhibitor V. Atrazine E. Microtubule inhibitorSolution
Paraquat is a herbicide that acts as a seeding shoot growth inhibitor, preventing the growth of shoots in newly germinated plants. Glyphosate is an herbicide that acts as an EPSP synthase inhibitor, disrupting the synthesis of amino acids and inhibiting plant growth. Metolachlor is a herbicide that acts as a cell membrane disrupter, interfering with cell division and growth in susceptible plants. Pendimethalin is a herbicide that acts as a microtubule inhibitor, disrupting the formation of microtubules and inhibiting cell division. Atrazine is a herbicide that acts as a PS-II inhibitor, interfering with the photosynthetic electron transport chain and disrupting plant energy production.
