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
