What is a physical defence?
A defence that physically
prevents
the entry of
pathogens.
What is a chemical defence?
Chemicals
that plants can
secrete
to destroy
pathogens.
What is a mechanical defence?
Structures that
reduce
the chance of being
attacked.
What are some examples of physical plant defences?
Strong
cellulose cell walls.
Layers of
dead
cells around the trunk (
bark
).
A
waxy cuticle
on the
leaves
and
stems.
What are some examples of chemical plant defences?
Production
of
antimicrobial
substances & production of
poisons
that kill
insects.
What are some examples of mechanical plant defences?
Hairs
and
thorns.
Leaves that
curl
or
