How do cell walls and cuticles differ in their protective functions?
Cell walls prevent
penetration
; cuticles block
pathogens
How can technical difficulties become physical barriers to communication?
Faulty
equipment
can hinder contact
How do physical barriers function in plants?
They act as a first line of
defence
What is the function of cuticles in plants?
Reduce water loss and block
pathogens
What type of barriers are described in the image?
Physical barriers
In what way do barriers in human communication relate to barriers in plants?
Both use specific
arrangements
to protect
How do physical barriers create a hostile environment for pathogens?
They block
penetration
of pathogens
They repel
water-based
pathogens
They create a tough outer layer
What is the primary composition of cell walls in plants?
Cellulose
What is the function of bark in plants?
Fixed defense against
pathogens
How do structural barriers differ from protective barriers in plants?
Structural barriers are
permanent
, protective barriers are
temporary
What are the two types of physical barriers in plants?
Structural barriers
and
protective barriers
What is the function of cuticles in plants?
Fixed defense against
pathogens
Why is it important for plants to create a hostile environment for pathogens?
To
inhibit
their growth and survival
What is the function of cell walls in plants?
Fixed defense against
pathogens
How do plants use specific arrangements of cells?
To protect against
pathogens
What is the function of thorns in plants?
To deter
herbivores
and protect the plant
How can written communication be considered a physical barrier?
Lacks
non-verbal cues
, potentially causing misunderstandings
What is the role of physical barriers in plants?
First line of defense against
pathogens
What is the overall effect of physical barriers on plant tissues?
They prevent
pathogens
from reaching
vulnerable tissues
How do cellulose cell walls contribute to plant protection?
They provide structural support and
barrier
What is the name of the structure labeled as "3" in the image?
Bark
What are physical barriers in plant defence?
Structures that protect plants from
pathogens
How does interrupting someone act as a physical barrier in communication?
It obstructs the flow of
dialogue
What are the types of physical barriers in plants and their functions?
Cell walls
: Prevent
pathogen
penetration
Cuticles: Reduce
water loss
and block
pathogens
Bark
: Shields against
physical damage
and pathogen entry
How can distance create a physical barrier to communication?
It limits
face-to-face
interaction
How can body language act as a physical barrier in communication?
Incongruent signals
confuse a message
How can workspace design be a physical barrier to communication?
Poor
design
can
limit
interaction
How can weather be a physical barrier in communication?
It can disrupt
communication channels
What is the role of bark in trees?
Shields against
physical
damage and pathogens
What is the primary function of physical barriers in plants?
Prevent
pathogen
entry
What function does bark serve in protecting plants?
Bark creates a physical shield against
pathogens
What is the name of the structure labeled as "2" in the image?
Waxy cuticles
How do multiple layers of protection enhance plant defense?
They work together to improve overall
effectiveness
What is the purpose of the physical defenses shown in the image?
Each physical defense provides a physical barrier to protect from
pathogens
.
What is the purpose of the physical defenses shown in the image?
Each physical defense provides a barrier to protect from
pathogens
.
What is the role of cuticles in plant defense?
They repel water-based
pathogens
with a waxy layer
What are physical barriers in communication?
Aspects of the
environment
and physical limitations that impede
effective
transmission of a message.
What are the key benefits of physical barriers in plants?
Prevents direct
pathogen
contact with
cells
Reduces entry points for
water-based
pathogens
Provides
structural support
to resist damage
Creates a hostile environment for pathogens
How do cell walls protect plants from pathogens?
They block pathogen penetration with
cellulose
fibers
What are the types of physical barriers that prevent pathogen entry?
Cell walls
Cuticles
Bark
