BTNYFNL6 Flashcards
a pigment is the most common organic molecule in plant that absorbs light of certain wavelengths. The lights that are not absorbed are reflected.
Chlorophyll
Usually it occurs in the grana of the chloroplast.
Photolysis of water happens, thus oxygen release.
ATP and NADPH is produce which are needed in the dark reaction phase.
Light dependent reaction
Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast.
It does not require light
No photolysis
Glucose is produced.
Light independent reaction
are lateral outgrowth of the stem usually thin, expanded, needle like and green in color.
Leaves
External Anatomy of a Leaf
– the tip of a leaf
– vein coming from the base
– arises from the midrib
– arises from the bigger veins
– found at the bottom of a leaf blade
– stalk which hold the whole leaf
– flat, thin blade of the leaves
– small paired lobes at the base
- small pair lobe on the leaflets
Apex – the tip of a leaf
Midrib – vein coming from the base
Veins – arises from the midrib
Veinlets – arises from the bigger veins
Base – found at the bottom of a leaf blade
Petiole – stalk which hold the whole leaf
Leaf blade – flat, thin blade of the leaves
Stipule – small paired lobes at the base
Stipel - small pair lobe on the leaflets
– with one piece of blade or lamina
Simple leaf
– the lamina consists of two or more separate parts on a common petiole.
Compound leaf
The extension of the petiole to which the leaflets are attached is called
rachis.
– are leaves with rachis where the leaflets are attached. Primary rachis is the continuation of the petiole in a ___
Pinnately Compound Leaves
– are leaves with one rachis where leaflets arise
Simple pinnate leaves
– are pinnately compound leaves in which the primary rachis
Tripinnate/ Thrice pinnate – leaves in which secondary rachis produces branchlets which bears the leaflets.
Bipinnate/Twice pinnate
– are leaves in which the leaflets are attached at a common point at the tip of the petiole.
Palmately Compound leaves
– compound leaves with only one leaflet
b. – with two leaflets
c. – with three leaflets
d. – with four leaflets
Unifoliate
b. Bifoliate – with two leaflets
c. Trifoliate – with three leaflets
d. Quadrifoliate – with four leaflets
A. – when the veins form a network over the blade or lamina
Netted or Reticulate venation
– has one main vein or midrib from which the smaller veins branched off.
Pinnately netted venation
