C4.1.18—Allelopathy and antibiotics Topic Practice
C4.1.18—Allelopathy and antibiotics Topic Practice
Practise recognising allelopathy and explaining how plant chemicals reduce competition by limiting growth, germination, or reproduction nearby.
How this is tested
- identify allelopathy when a plant chemical inhibits growth of other plants
- explain how a named plant reduces competition through chemical release
- link allelopathic chemicals to reduced germination, growth, or reproduction
