Lec 14

Question 1

Chloroplast

Answer 1

A type of plastid found in plants, algae and Euglena

Do photosynthesis in leaf cells

Question 2

The plastid organelles

Answer 2

Young plant cells contain proplastids

Proplastids mature into the type of organelle required by the cell

Question 3

Storage plastids

Answer 3

Store nutrients in root cells

Question 4

Chromoplasts

Answer 4

Attract animals to flowers and fruit

Question 5

Proplastid to chloroplast

Answer 5

A third membrane is needed to form a chloroplast

Formed by the folding of the membrane over itself to form a third membrane (thylakoid membrane)

Question 6

Arabidopsis

Proplastid to chloroplast

Answer 6

Turns into a large organelle

Functional gene (var2) makes protein which allows for the formation of a proper chloroplast

A mutation in the var2 gene causes the strain to be green and white and smaller

Question 7

Several ornamental plants are

Answer 7

Variegated (2 color) leaves

Question 8

Function of chloroplasts

Answer 8

Import light CO2 and water

Export Sugar and O2

Question 9

Reproduction of chloroplasts

Answer 9

Same as mitochondrion

Question 10

Most protein are imported from cytosol using

Answer 10

Translocases

TOC rather than TOM

TIC rather than TIM
