32
Q

effect of deficiency of nickel in plants?

A

Stunted growth, reduces crop production, burnt effect at end of leaves due to urea accumulation

33
Q

function of molybdenum in plants?

A

Involves in nitrogen fixation and nitrate reduction during protein
synthesis

34
Q

effect of deficiency of molybdenum in plants?

A

Reduces crop production, stunted growth, chlorosis in between matured leaf veins, leaf colour becomes pale green, reduces crop production

35
Q

what does complete Knop’s culture solution consist of?

A

calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, magnesium sulphate, iron (iii) phosphate, distilled water (CnPnPdpI3p, H2O)

36
Q

two main functions of roots?

A

Provide support and strength to anchor the plant in the soil, Absorb water and mineral salts from the soil and transport them to the stem and leaves

37
Q

3 structures of roots?

A

root collar, root hairs, root cap

38
Q

function of root collar?

A

Part of the root connected to the base of the plant stem

39
Q

function of root hairs

A

Increases the total surface area of the roots to increase the uptake of water and mineral salts

40
Q

function of root cap

A

protects root from damage when going through soil

41
Q

how does nitrogen give green colour to plants

A

through formation of chlorophyll

42
Q

what macronutrients are components in all organic compunds of plants and important components in synthesis of sugar?

A

oxygen, carbon, hydrogen

43
Q

which nutrient is the main component of proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes in photosynthesis and respiration?

A

nitrogen

44
Q

what is located at the tip of the root?

A

root cap

45
Q

whats the function of epidermis in roots

A

-thin cell walls and water permeable cell membranes facilitate water movement in the roots
- there are epidermal cells that form root hairs by elongating towards lateral sides from outside wall
- root hair cells are not layered with cuticle to allow water absorption
- root hair cells have big vacuoles to store water and minerals to increase water absorption

46
Q

are epidermal cells closely arranged?

A

yes

47
Q

what does structure of roots compromise of?

A

root collar, root hairs, root cap

48
Q

what does vascular cylinder consist of?

A

primary xylem, primary phloem, pericycle

49
Q

function of cortex?

A
  • has thin cell walls, facilitating water movement in the roots
  • cells are loosely arranged to facilitate gaseous exhange
50
Q

what does most of cortex consist of?

A

parenchyma cells

51
Q

where is cortex located?

A

under epidermal layer

52
Q

what does internal structure of roots compromise of?

A

endodermis, epidermis, primary xylem, primary phloem, pericycle, cambium vascular, root hair, cortex

53
Q

function of endodermis?

A

-separating layer between cortex and vascular cylinder
- endodermis allows water and mineral salts absorbed from soil to enter vascular cylinder but not air bubbles

54
Q

how are cortex cells arranged?

A

loosely arranged

55
Q

how are endodermal cells arranged?

A

closely arranged

56
Q

how are epidermal calls arranged?

A

closely arranged

57
Q

what is at the wall of endodermal cells?

A

suberin or lignin thickening which form casparian strips

58
Q

function of vascular cylinder?

A
59
Q

when is pericycle involved

A

secondary growth and formation of lateral roots

60
Q

whats vascular cylinder?

A

root core that consist of xylem and phloem tissues surrounded by one cell thick pericycle cell tissues

61
Q

how are xylem and phloem tissues arranged usually?

A

star shaped pattern

62
Q

function of xylem tissue?

A

transports water and mineral salts

63
Q

function of phloem tissue?

A

transports organic substances such as sucrose and plant hormone

64
Q

whats nutrition?

A

process of organisms obtaining energy and nutrients from food for growth, maintenance and repair of damaged tissues?

65
Q

what are the different adaptations to obtain nutrients?

A

parasitic, epiphytic, carnivorous

66
Q

how do parasitic plants live?

A

by growing on other plants which are the hosts

67
Q

how do the roots of parasitic plants absorb nutrients from host?

A

roots of parasitic plant absorbs organic substances, minerals and water from the host by penetrating the stem up to the vascular bundles of the host this causes parasitic plants to grow faster and flourish whereas the host is malnourished, dried and will eventually die

68
Q

what are parasitic plants?

A

plant that lives by growing on other plants which are the hosts

69
Q

what are epiphytic plants?

A

green plants which live on other plants which are the hosts

70
Q

how come epiphytes dont harm the host?

A

roots of epiphytes can absorb nutrients
accumulated in the gaps of the plant’s stem.

71
Q

how do epiphytic plants work?

A

Epiphytic plants receive more sunlight for photosynthesis by living on taller hosts. These plants synthesise their own food.

72
Q

whats a physical characteristic of epiphytes?

A

have swollen stems that are able to store a lot of water.

73
Q

what are carnivorous plants?

A

plants that are able to synthesise their own food by carrying out
photosynthesis.

74
Q

how does carnivorous plant work?

A

1 plants secrete nectar and they have cups to trap their prey, typically insects
2 The prey are then slowly digested by digestive enzymes.
3 The trapped animals can supply nitrogen to the plants.
4 Nitrogen is important for growth. This is because carnivorous plants live in soil which lacks nitrogen sources.

75
Q

example of parasitic plant?

A

rafflesia sp.

76
Q

example of epiphytic plant?

A

orchids, or bird’s nest fern

77
Q

example of carnivorous plant?

A

venus fly trap, or pitcher plant
