Which of the following best describes how group 5 herbicides kill plants?
production of reactive oxygen species disrupts cellular membranes
Which factor does not contribute to the high level of effectiveness of glyphosate?
rapid absorption into the plant
At label rates glufosinate does not have soil activity due to:
rapid degradation by soil microbes
Glyphosate is a
systemic, postemergence herbicide

The Enlist herbicide trait in corn provides resistance to both 2-4-D, and fop herbicides (ACC-ase inhibitor) because:
the herbicide molecules have a similar structual arrangement that the transgenic enzyme can metabolize
