Q

If a cell has 24 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would each of its four daughter cells have after meiosis?

A
  1. Meiosis is a reduction division that reduces the number of chromosomes passed on to daughter cells by one-half.

Q

Which structure is directly correlated with the production of genetic variability in the daughter cells produced during meiosis?

A

Chiasma. The chiasma is an X-shaped structure formed from the crossing over of homologous chromosomes, which can then exchange segments at the crossover sites.

Q

Do replicated and unreplicated chromosomes contain the same number of chromosomes?

A

Yes, they do. While there are more copies of a given chromosome. The chromosomes are exactly the same, so the cell is considered to have the same number of chromosomes even after replication.

Q

What is co-transport?

A

It is a combination of active transport and facilitated diffusion. Active transport is used to create a gradient. This gradient is then used to transport other molecules across the membrane via facilitated diffusion.

Q

Describe the H+ sucrose co-tranport system.

A

The H+ pumps H+ out of the cell. This creates a high H+ gradient outside of the cell. This higher concentration gradient outside the cell allows for facilitated diffusion to power H+ and sucrose back into the cell.

Moreover, the active transport of H+ creates a concentration gradient that allows for facilitated diffusion of sucrose

A

A small hydrophobic molecule that can transport protons between molecules. It carries protons across the thylakoid membrane from the stroma to the lumen creating the H+ gradient.

104
Q

What is the space inside the thylakoid called?

A

The thylakoid space

105
Q

What does the concentration gradient of H+ in the thylakoid space do?

A

It drives ATP synthase

106
Q

What does the electron transport chain of photosystem II accomplish?

A

It drives H+ into the stoma creating a concentration gradient. This concentration gradient then powers the formation of NADPH and ATP.

107
Q

What is photophosphorylation

A

The process that takes places at the end of Photosystem II that add a phosphate to ADP to make it ATP

108
Q

What is chemiosmosis?

A

is the movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient. More specifically, it relates to the generation of ATP by the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane during cellular respiration or photosynthesis.

109
Q

How is H2O split to get more electrons to drive photosystem II?

A

The energy harvested from photosystem II is harvest to split more water molecules.

110
Q

What is the final electron acceptor in non-cyclic photophosphorylation?

A

NADP

111
Q

How is photosystem I (p700) energized?

A

By an electron from photosystem II or by sunlight

112
Q

What is the name of the electron transporter produced by photosystem I?

A

NADH

113
Q

What is the output of photosystem II?

A

ATP

114
Q

What is the output of photosystem I?

A

NADPH

115
Q

What is the next stop for excited electrons after p680?

A

Pheophytin

116
Q

What happened between pheophytin and p700?

A

The electrons moving down through that chain power the plastoquinone to carry the H+ into the thylakoid space.

The electrons ar then passed to a small diffusible protein called plastocyanin (PC).

117
Q

What does the the presence of H+ in the thylakoid space do?

A

ATP synthase uses the resulting proton-motive force to phosphorylate ADP creating ATP

118
Q

What is plastocyanin?

A

It takes the electron from photosystem II to photosystem I

119
Q

What is ferredoxin

A

In photosystem I, it passes electrons to an enzyme that catalysis the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH

120
Q

What is the difference between a centromere and a centrosome?

A

A centrosome is one of the structures that pulls the cell apart during mitosis. A centromere is where sister chromatids connect

121
Q

What is a nondisjunction?

A

Nondisjunction refers to the failure of pairs of chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate during meiosis or mitosis.

122
Q

What is vascular tissue in plants?

237
Q

In mitochondrial electron transport, what is the direct role of O2?

A

The only place that O2 participates in cellular respiration is at the end of the electron transport chain, as the final electron acceptor. Oxygen’s high affinity for electrons ensures its success in this role. Its contributions to driving electron transport, forming a proton gradient, and synthesizing ATP are all indirect effects of its role as the terminal electron acceptor.

238

A

The proteins in the electron transport chain pump protons from the matrix of the mitochondria to the intermembrane space, thus establishing an electrochemical gradient.
