Plant Biology: Exam 1 Flashcards
Eukaryotes
Have nucleus and are most animals and plants
Angiosperms
Flowering plants
Prokaryotes lack nucleus
Bacteria
.
Gymnosperms
Do not flower
Sets of instructions
DNA and RNA
Translates DNA and RNA
Ribosomes
Cells only need
Membrane
Protoplasm, cytoplasm, cytosol
DNA or RNA
Ribosomes
Central dogma
DNA is transcribed to RNA which is translated from ribosomes to protein
Golgi body is like a cellular
Subway
Mitochondria
Energy!
Vacuoles account for this in cells
Storage and disposal
Gymnosperms
Naked seeds
Example of gymnosperm
Pine
Turgor pressure
Water in cells that make a plant have structure
What can Dcmu and cyanide do to a plant
Disturb the electron transport chain and photosynthesis
Calvin-benson cycle
Using chemical energy to fix carbon dioxide ultimately as sugar
Respiration
The complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide in presence if oxygen to form
ATP
Where does glycolysis occur
In the cytoplasm
What is glycolysis?
Taking glucose( a 6 carbon sugar), breaking it into 2, an capturing energy (ATP
If there is no oxygen available for respiration, what happens?
Fermentation
Results of fermentation:
Lactic acid, alcohol, co2
Respiration uses the
Kreb’s cycle and electron flow for high ATP
Calvin cycle
Fixes carbon dioxide using products of “light reactions”
Photosynthesis inputs:
Light, co2, and water
Photosynthesis outputs:
O2, ATP, sugars
Where do light reactions occur?
The thylakoids membrane
What is a photo system?
Pigments working together to pass an electron to one that will accept it
What is needed in the Calvin benson cycle?
Rubp - sugar
Rubisco - enzyme
ATP and Nadh - energy
What does the Calvin benson cycle do?
Coverts carbon dioxide into sugar
Where do c4 plants thrive
Arid regions
The 4 biologically usable energy forms
Light
Electrons
Chemical gradients
Chemical bonds
What dies the electron transport chain do?
Sets up an electrical chemical gradient
3 parts of a chloroplast?
Thylakoids
Grana
Stroma
How does a plant get carbon dioxide?
Stomata
Cam plants separate co2 fixation in:
Time
C4 plants separate co2fixation in:
Space
What kind of plant closes stomata at night?
CAM
Bundle sheath cells and mesothelioma are in these plants:
C4
