Prunning is the process of cutting shoot tips to promote lateral growth of branches. Removal of shoot tips involves removal of apical buds. In the shoot tips auxins are produced. Auxins are growth promoting phytohormones. They cause apical dominance by promoting the growth of apical buds and suppressing the growth of axillary buds. So when the auxins produced in the shoot tips are removed by decapitation it results in lateral growth and plants thus show bushy appearance. This is because of a relatively high concentration of auxin in the apical bud than in the lateral buds.

Answer the questions following the figures in your own words; DO NOT copy any text from the article into your answer. All answers should be based on data shown below, not the authors' interpretation of the data from the paper. A: 4.5 CPC 0 M 30 M 70 M 3.0 150 M 1/v (mole-1 min, mg protein) 1.5 -0.003 0.000 0.003 0.006 0.009 1/[Cystathionine](M^1) B: 12 CPC 0 M 30 M V 70 M 150 M 1/v (mole-1 min, mg protein) 6 3 -0.3 0.0 0.3 0.6 0.9 1/[Cysteine] (mM^-1) 1.2 5a) What type of inhibitor is CPC? How do you know? (2 pts.) 5b) Using/extrapolating from the data in the graphs, calculate a for the inhibitor reactions shown in A and B, in the presence of 0 and 150 uM CPC.
