The nuclear envelope may be considered a portion of the…
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Plasmodesmata are:
Cytoplasmic threads connecting adjacent cells
Golgi bodies have the appearance of
Stacks of flattened, disk-shaped sacs
Is the Cell Wall part of the Protosplast?
Cell Wall
Ribosomes are the site of ___________ synthesis?
Protein
The Cell Wall component, made of polygalacturonic acid, that is the primary component of the middle lamela is________
Pectin
Is lignin deposited in the middle lamella?
Yes, lignin is deposited in the middle lamella
Are plastids part of the endomembrane system?
No, plastids are not part of the endomembrane system
What is the sequence that glycoproteins travel throughout the endomembrane system?
ER, cis Golgi, medial Golgi, trans Golgi
What, located in the cell sap, are responsible for the red and blue colors of many fruits and vegetables?
Anthocyanids
The principle organelle used in photosynthesis
Chloroplast
What type of synthesis happens in the nucleolus?
Ribosome
What type of cells (eukaryotic or prokaryotic) undergo mitosis and cytokenesis?
Eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis and cytokenesis
DNA replication occurs during the _____ phase of the cell cycle
DNA replication occurs during the S phase
Kinetochores are protein complexes associated with _________________
Centromeres
In the cell cycle, interphase consists of…
S phase, G1 phase, and G2 phase
The Phragmosome, a structure bisecting the cell prior to cell division…
Is composed of microtubules and actin filaments
Where does Cell Division occur?
Cell division occurs in the Root Cap Capella
Lignified cell walls are a sign that plants have undergone…
Differentiation
The two parts of the Cell Cycle are
Interphase and Mitosis
Mitochondria and chloroplasts, like prokaryotes, reproduce by…
Binary Fission
2 Parts of Cell Division
- Mitosis
2. Cytokinesis
4 Stages of Mitosis
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
What happens during Prophase?
Nuclear envelope disintegrating, chromosomes condense
What happens during Metaphase?
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What happens during Anaphase?
Chromosomes begin to pull apart
What happens during Telophase?
See new nuclear envelope, chromosomes begin to break apart
What happens during Cytokinesis?
Cell breaks apart and forms two new cells
What would happen without Cytokinesis?
There would be one cell with 2 nucleus
What are Phytochromes?
Red light receptors
Is Pfr or Pr biologically active?
Pfr (far red light) is biologically active
What light makes plants germinate?
Pr makes plants germinate. Plants only germinate if Pr is the last light they saw.
Is auxin transported polarly?
Yes
Photo
Light
Gravi
Gravity
Nycti
dark
Thigmo
Touch
Helio
Sun
Morphogenesis
Normal Growth
Tropism
Permanent, Directed Growth
Nastic
Nonpermanent, nondirectional movement
Circadian Rhythm
Telling time by normal day and night cycles
Photoperiod
Telling time by red light cycles
What causes the green color in plants?
Chlorophyll
What causes the color changing in plants in the fall?
The breaking apart of chloroplasts. The chemicals that cause other colors break out by this
What does Anthocyanin cause?
Anthocyanin causes the purple colors in plants
Three types of Endocytosis
- Phagocytosis
- Pinocytosis
- Receptor Mediated Endocytosis
What is Phagocytosis?
Cell eating. Plants don’t do this
What is Pinocytosis?
Invagination and pinching off of a vesicle
What is Receptor Induced Endocytosis?
formation of membrane invagination
What does Etiolation mean?
A plant that is grown in the dark
What do Etiolated plants look like?
Tall, white, skinny, hooked
What did the Briggs Experiment do?
Puts glass in a plant to see how auxin moves in response to light.
Shade Avoidance
A plant detects that it is under the canopy by how much far red light it receives. The plant then moves to receive more light
Statoliths
How plants detect gravitational changes.
In shoots, gravity is perceived in the
Starch Sheath
Is Auxin required for hydrotropism?
Yes, Auxin is required for hydrotropism
In roots, gravity is perceived in the
Root Cap Columella
In roots and shoots, the statoliths are
Amyloplasts
Is this statement correct?
Auxin is distributed to the lower side of the stem where it stimulates cell expansion
Yes that statement is correct
What color light is most effective in producing a phototropic response?
Blue light
One plant hormone involved in differentiation of vascular tissue is…
Brasinosteroids
An excised leaf floated in a kinetin solution will stay green longer than a leaf floated in water.
True or False?
True
In apical dominance, the apical bud…
inhibits the growth of lateral buds
PIN proteins
are auxin efflux carriers
2, 4 D is…
- A synthetic auxin
