BOTANY INTRO Flashcards
Overview of plant body, plant functioning, reproduction and embryonic development, growth development
botany
it is a branch of biology which deals with the study of PLANTS
Botany
6 discipines in Botany
Plant Molecular Biology
Plant Biochemistry
Plant cell biology
Plant anatomy
Plant morphology
Plant genetics
study structures and functions of important
biological molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.
Plant Molecular Biology
is the study of the chemical interactions within
plants, including the variety of chemicals that plant produce
Plant Biochemistry
– encompasses the structures, functions, and life
processes of plant cells
Plant cell biology
is microscopic plant structure ( cells and tissues)
Plant anatomy
refers to the structures of plant parts such as
leaves, roots, and stems, including their evolution and development
Plant morphology
refers to heredity and variation
Plant genetics
7 CHARACTERISTICS
OF LIVING THINGS
PLANTS ARE HIGHLY ORGANIZED
PLANTS TAKE IN AND USE ENERGY
PLANTS RESPOND TO STIMULI
PLANTS GROW AND DEVELOP
PLANTS REPRODUCE
Plant DNA transmits information from one generation to the next
PLANT POPULATIONS UNDERGO CHANGES OVER TIME

6 steps in photosynthesis in order
- the plant draw up water through its roots
- the leaves take in CO2 from the air
- the leaves trap energy from sunlight
- The plant uses the energy of sunlight to turn water and co2 into sugars and oxygen
- the plant releases oxygen
- the plant uses the sugars for growth
how many species of plants are known in teh kingdom plantae
325,000
5 classification scheme
- vased on water requirements
- based on habitat or environement location
- based on life duration
- based on natural system classification
- based on their habit of body appearance
5 kinds of topisms or plant movements
- chemotropism
- phototropism
- geotropism
- haptotropism
- hyrdotropism
it is when certainn chemicals produces by the ovary helps the growth of pollen tube towards the ovary
chemotropism
it is when stem grows towards light and root grows away from light
phototropism
it is when stem grows against gravoty and roots grow towards gravity
geotropism
it is when climbers grow towards and around a support
haptotropism
it is when stem grows away from water and roots grow towards water
hydrotropism
the parts of life cycle of a plant
seed - germination - stems and roots - leaves - flowers - pollination
The characteristics of an organism are
encoded in
GENES,
they are the units of
hereditary information
GENES
Genes are composed of
deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA)
