Q

Water translocation and transpiration inside a plant

A

Cohesion and adhesion help push water up through small capillaries a term called capillarity. Eventually leaving the leaf via evaporation.

20
Q

Stromatolites opening regulation

A

Guard cells utilise ATP to move K+ ions into the cell pulling moisture inside the cell therefore expanding the cell (become more turgid) consequently enlarging the stomata opening. The production of ABA hormone from plant stress initiates reaction to pump potassium ions out of the cell and therefore closing stomata.

21
Q

Low CO2 levels initiate the stomata guard cells to ___

A

Open allowing more CO2 inside the leaf for respiration.

22
Q

Pressure-flow hypothesis

A

Sugar moves from high concentrations (sources) to low concentrations (sinks).

23
Q

What is the stamen

A

Male flower part, produces pollen, should be same number of petals.

24
Q

Filament is the ___ of a ____

A

Slender stalk of a stamen or male pollen producing flower part.

25
The carpel consists of (3) parts
Stigma, style and ovary
26
Stigma
Is the pollen receptacle on a female flower part named the carpel.
27
Pollen grain consists of
Sperm and tube cell nucleus
28
What part(s) of the pollen grain travels/grows down the style.
The tube cell grows down the style towards the ovules with the tube cell nucleus at the end of the tube (essentially driving). the sperm then follows down behind the tube cell nucleus inside the tube cell.
29
Double fertilisation; | 2
1. One sperm fuses with the central cell and fertilises the nuclei becoming triploid endosperm (nutrients) for the seed. 2. the other sperm fuses with the egg cell and grows into the embryo (DNA) of a seed.
30
Fruit develops from which part of a flower?
Ovary, seeds are found inside the fruit or ovule.
31
Fruits function to..... (2)
Protect the seed | Disperse the seed
32
What flower part of a peach do you eat?
Ovary
33
Hypogeal germination in a monocot. (3 steps)
1. Root emerges first to get water 2. Coleoptile -sheath used to pierce soil surface 3. True leaves emerge inside the coleoptile
34
Epigeal germination:
Hypocotyl hook, cotyledons expand outside of the soil surface.
35
Six major plant hormones;
``` Auxins Gibberellins Cytokinins Ethylene Abscisic acid Florigens ```
36
Auxins promote (4)
Cell elongation Bending towards light Fruit development Abscission
37
Auxins inhibit (3)
Lateral branch formation | Inhibits root cell elongation
38
Auxin uses
Rooting compounds. Clonex Stimulates root development of downward growth.
39
Gibberellins promote (5)
``` Stem elongation Stimulates bud sprouting Flowering Fruit production Seed germination ```
40
Cytokinins promote
Cell devision Stimulate shoot branching Nutrient transport in leaves
41
Cytokinins inhibit (1)
Root lateral branching
42
Ethylene promote
Adaptive responses to wounds Ripening of fruit Leaf fall Combines with auxin to help abscission
43
Abscisic Acid promotes (3)
Stomatal closure Root growth The dormancy of seed
44
Abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits (1)
Shoot growth
45
Photoperiodism short day plants flower when
When there is a long un-interrupted night period.
46
Long - day plants flower when?
plants will flower when there is a short night time or long night with a human induced light interruption.
47
Phytochrome two forms and their functions
Far red form - inhibits flowering in short day plants. Red form - does not inhibit short day flowering. (Far red is degraded to red light overlong in-interrupted nights)
