LECTURE 1 Flashcards
involves study of the control and coordination of processes in cells, organs, and/or whole plants including example, changes in gene expression in response to environmental conditions such as climate change
plant growth and development
formula for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2
factors affecting photosynthesis
light
water
carbon dioxide
temprature
factors affecting photosynthesis
light
water
carbon dioxide
temperature
sugars and starches are converted to energy
oxidation
buiding process
photosynthesis
buiding process
photosynthesis
breaking down process
respiration
when a leaf’s guard cells shrink, its stomata and water is lost
transpiration
the amount and rate of water loss depends on factors such as
temperature
humidity
wind or air movement
transpiration is responsible for several things
transporting minerals
cooling the plant
moving sugars and plant chemicals
maintaining turgor pressure
