Physical barriers

Cards (48)

  • 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
