Cryptography Concepts and Security Analysis
1. Consider the mono-alphabetic substitution cipher (Lecture 1, slide 20). What is the size of its key space? -26!
2. Consider the poly-alphabetic substitution cipher (Lecture 1, slide 22). What is the size of its key space? -26^t (that is, 26 to the power of t)
3. You know that a meaningful plaintext in a language with an x-letter alphabet is encrypted using either the mono-alphabetic substitution cipher or the poly-alphabetic substitution cipher (with a key of t random numbers in [1,x], for a known

Plant Secretory Structures
Secretory Structures: These structures are involved in plant metabolism and plant-environment interactions. They are based on the type of shock and the type of secretion secreted. Functions include:
- Production of compounds (cellulose, callose)
- Disposal of surplus (glands eliminate excess salt or water)
- Accumulation of substances (mineral salts in the form of crystals)
- Attraction of pollinators (nectar)
- Protection against herbivorous animals (defensive hairs)
Secreted Substances:
