A

found only in some cells and vary by species/plant organ/cell

17
Q

what are characteristics of secondary metabolites

A

chemical signals, defense, protection from radiation, aid in pollen and seed dispersal

18
Q

what are the three types of secondary metabolites

A

alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics

19
Q

morphine, cocaine, caffeine, nicotine are examples of what

A

alkaloids

20

A

in all plants

21
Q

isoprene, essential oils, taxol, rubber, and cardiac glycosides are examples of what

A

terpenoids

22
Q

where are phenolics found

A

present in all parts of almost all plants

23
Q

what components do all cells contain

A

plasma membrane, genetic material, cytosol, ribosomes

24
Q

what is the function of the plasma membrane

A

transport in and out of protoplasts; coordinates synthesis and assembly of cell wall; receives and transmits signals

25
Q

what is the function of the nucleus

A

controls ongoing cell activity; stores genetic information

26
Q

what are plastids

A

function in photosynthesis and storage; are classified in part by the type of pigments they contain

27
Q

what are characteristics of plastids

A

own DNA and ribosomes; double membrane; division by fission

28
Q

what are characteristics of chloroplasts

A

contain chlorophylls and carotenoids; site of photosynthesis; temporary starch storage

29
Q

what are characteristics of mitochondria

A

own DNA and ribosomes; double membrane; divided by fission; sites of cellular respiration

30
Q

what are vacuoles

A

membrane-bound region filled with liquid; may be 90% of cell volume

31
Q

what is the function of vacuoles

A

maintain tissue rigidity; store primary and secondary metabolites; store pigments; may breakdown and recycle macromolecules

32
Q

where are flagella found

A

in gametes in plants with motile sperm

33
Q

what type of plants have flagella

A

mosses, liverworts, ferns, cycads, ginko

34
Q

what is the cell wall composed of

A

cellulose, lignin, cutin, suberin, wax, middle lamella

35
Q

what is unique to cells with secondary walls

A

they are no longer able to divide or differentiate nor increase in size, usually die after formation

36
Q

what are plasmodesmata

A

cytoplasmic strands connecting adjacent cells

37
Q

what are the parts of the cell cycle

A

interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis

38
Q

what are phragmosomes

A

cytoplasmic strands

39
Q

what are phragmoplasts

A

microtubules that guide the Golgi in forming the cell plate
