Q

Phloem Sap

A

a mixture of sugar, nutrients, and water that flows through phloem vessels in a plant
Phloem is the type of vascular tissue (bulk transport system) that carries metabolic fuel (carbohydrates) from source to sinks

17
Q

Sink

A

Any cell that takes in more photosynthetic products than it produces, for use of storage
reproductive cells and root cells that specialized in absorption

18
Q

symbiotic

A

involving interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association

19
Q

rhizosphere

A

the soil layer that surrounds actively growing roots

20
Q

Symbiosis

A

Most terrestrial green plants enhance nutrient uptake by establishing symbiotic relationships with fungi (80% of plants) or nitrogen fixing bacteria (4% of plants)
two or more species interact and both species benefit from the interaction

21
Q

Epidermis

A

the root system serves as a protective skin and it is also the cell layer that specializes in selective absorption from the soil. There is no cuticle covering the epidermal cells in the roots

22
Q

Root hair

A

extensions of the individual epidermal cells

they are part of the epidermal cell that specializes in absorption

23
Q

Macronutrient

A

minerals absorbed by the roots that are used in relatively large quantities. these minerals tend to have a low concentration in the soil, and higher concentrations in the plant

24
Q

Micronutrient

A

minerals absorbed by the roots, such as smaller quantities. these minerals tend to have variable concentrations in the soil, and moderate concentrations in the plant

25
Q

Casperian strip

A

to enter the xylem, they must be transported into the endodermal cells, since the extracellular spaces are plugged with waxes

26
Q

Haploid

A

An organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes

27
Q

Diploid

A

2 sets of chromosomes

28
Q

mitosis

A

cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes

29
Q

meiosis

A

a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores

30
Q

gamete

A

sex cell

31
Q

spore

A

a reproductive cell with a hard, protective coating seed

32
Q

Sporophyte dominant

A

genetic process whereby the genetic material of a source cell is maintained so that the daughter cells (cells made during the cellular replication process) have the same quantity and mix of genetic material as the original cell. This reproductive process results in genetically identical offspring cells

33
Q

Gametophyte dominant

A

Genetic process whereby the genetic material of a source cell is reduced so that the daughter cells have half as much genetic material as the original cell. During this reproductive process, the genetic material is shuffled, so that the daughter cells have a mix of each of the two different copies of all genes from the original parent cell, thereby increasing genetic diversity

34
Q

Gametophyte

A

haploid forms that make gametes
gametes specialize in genetic recombination between parent and offspring generations as a result of random union of sperm and egg

35
Q

Sporophyte

A

diploid forms that make spores

spores specialized in dispersal (move to new locations) of offspring in early plant lineages

36
Q

Photosynthesis

A

It is a series of chemical reactions that can be separated into two pairs: light reactions and Calvin Cycle

37
Q

Pigment

A

a special group of proteins that can absorb light, and use it to move (excite) electrons

38
Q

Lumen

A

A general term to identify the open space within a tube or other hollow structure

39
Q

Wavelength

A

measure of the distance between two neighboring peaks that are formed by a photon

40
Q

Carboxylation

A

A carbon dioxide molecule is added to the 5-carbon RuBP, making a 6-carbon temporary (intermediate) molecule. The 6-carbon molecule is immediately cut in half by an enzyme, RuBisCo. This results in the production of two, 3-carbon molecules called 3-PGA

41
Q

Intermediate

A

A temporary molecule, that is formed in the middle of a series of chemical reactions. It is neither the starting molecule nor the final product of the pathway

42
Q

Reduction

A

Each 3-PGA is reduced (electrons added) by NADPH, and energized NADPH through the transfer of a phosphate group (phosphorylation). The combination of electrons and cellular energy allows for the 3-PGA to be rearranged into a new molecule, triose phosphate
