Q

Guard Cells - Explain the controlling of the stomata

A

Water loss can be controlled by guard cells

Opening - guard cells gain water => moist environment, light, low CO2
Closing - guard cells lose water => dry environment

Q

Root Pressure

A

POSITIVE Root pressure is created by the accumulation of water in the root system.

20
Q

Transpiration Pull

A

Is created by water evaporation - Negative pressure

21
Q

Cohesion and Adhesion

A

Cohesion - Water sticks to water
Adhesion - Water sticks to Hydrophilic surfaces

22
Q

Steps in Transportation

A

1) Loading of Sugars
2) Uptake of Water - Osmosis - Water
3) Bulk Transport- phloem sap toward the sugar sink
4) Unloading of Sugar

23
Q

Guttation

A

When at night, water still goes up, but photosynthesis doesn’t happen, so water collects on the surroundings of the leaf.

24
Q

Cohesion

A

Water molecules stick to other water molecules.
Ex. Pulls water molecules up to leaves

25
Q

Adhesion

A

Water molecules stick to certain surfaces (hydrophilic).
Ex. Glue
Ex. Water sticks to xylem

26
Q

2) Uptake of Water - Osmosis - Water

A

Water moves passively across, diluting high [] of solute

27
Q

3) Bulk Transport - Pressure and concentration gradients move the phloem sap toward the sugar sink.

A

Increased V in container = pressure ↑

                               ↑V = ↑P              Of fluid inside Not container
28
Q

1) Loading of Sugars - Sugars produced by Active transport

A

Against concentration gradient

29
Q

Most gas exchange occurs in

A

stomata

30
Q

Most photosynthesis happens in ______, or more specifically __________.

A

Leaves, Palisade

31
Q

CO2 goes _____, and O2 goes _____. This transport is done through ________ _________.

A

In, out. Passive diffusion => due to [] gradient.

32
Q

Lenticles

(Stomata are to leaves, like lenticles are to stems)

A

Are lens shaped openings in the bark of woody plants that enable gas exchange.

33
Q

Tropism

A

Any growth response that results in plant organs curving toward or away from stimuli.

**Stimuli is any change in an organism’s environment that causes the organism to react.

34
Q

How plants respond to change

A

Adjusting their individual patterns of growth and development.

35
Q

How Animals respond to environmental stimuli

A

Mainly by behavioral mechanisms

36
Q

posi-T-ive Tropism

A

Growth TOWARDS the stimulus

37
Q

neg-A-tive tropism

A

Growth Away From the stimulus

38
Q

Phototropism

A

Growth towards or away from light

Seedling grows TOWARDS light => positive tropism

39
Q

Darwin and Darwin Experiment

R:?
Q:?

A

The *tip of the seedling detects light and sends a signal down to the stem to control growth.

Q: What part senses light?

40
Q

Boysen-Jensen Experiment
(MO-CHE)(Sg -s-g)

A

Q: What signal controls stem growth?

The signal is a *MObile CHEmical” because it passes through the gelatin block (POSITIVE PHOTOTROPISM = permeable barrier), but not through the mica block (No phototropism = impermeable barrier).

41
Q

Frits Went

A

Q: What is the chemical signal?
R: Centered - grows straight up
Off-Centered - Curved away from the side with the agar block
growth in the dark

AUXIN is the chemical messenger, hormone, that causes Elongation of the cell on the darker side.

42
Q

Roots in response to gravitropism

A

Positive response to gravitropism in roots

43
Q
