Biochemical and physiological basis for plant tissue culture Flashcards
1
Q
How does the plant obtain energy?
A
With this two process
- Photosynthesis
- Cellular respiration
2
Q
True or False: Photosyntesis the process by which plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from CO2 and H2O
A
- True
3
Q
Define Cellular respiration
A
- The set of metabolic cellular reactions used to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), with the release of waste products
4
Q
Which are the main factors affecting the photosynthesis?
A
- Light intensity
- CO2 concentration
- Temperature
5
Q
Where occur the photosynthesis and Calvin cycle (cellular respiration) reactions?
A
- P: Occur in thylakoid membranes
- CC: Occur in stroma
6
Q
Which is the main product of the calvin reactions?
A
- G3P
- RuBP
7
Q
Name the 3 phases of the Calvin cycle
A
- Fixation
- Reduction
- Regeneration
8
Q
The G3P can be use for
A
- Synthesize other biomolecules
- As an immediate food nutrient
