Plants 1, 2, and 3 lab Flashcards
The second law of thermodynamics states that
energy conversions are not 100% efficient
The energy of sunlight is trapped by a plant pigment called
chlorophyll
Inorganic molecules are used to produce an organic molecule called
PGAL=phosphoglyceraldehyde
PGAL is
a three carbon molecule that a plant can convert into amino acids
Plants and animals use ___ for aerobic cellualr respiration
free oxygen gas released into the environment as a product of photosynthesis
phenol red is a pH indicator that turns ___ in an acid environment and __ in alkaline
yellow acidic
red alkaline
The volumeter will measure
the evolution of O2
The 1% sodium bicarbonate solution serves as
the source for carbon dioxide used in photosynthesis
Hill foudn that chloroplasts evolved O2 while
reducing the dye but did not evolve O2 if the dye was left out of the reaction medium
Taxonomy is classified in the following groups
kingdom
phylum
class
order
family
genus
species

What are angiosperms?
flowering plants divided into two classes: dicot and monocot
what are cotyledons?
embryonic leaves
Dicots contain ___ cotyledons in the embryo while monocots contain ___
dicots two monocots one
Describe the principle veins of the leaf branch in dicots v monocots
dicots: veins branch out from a midrib, form a distinct network
monocots: principal veins are parallel to each other
The flower parts of dicots are arranged in multiples of ___ as compared to monocots which are __
dicots: multiples of four or five
monocots: multiples of three
compare the root system of dicots v monocots
dicot: woody taproot with branch roots frowing from it
monocot: fibrous system without taproot, all roots about the same size
Compare the stems of dicots v monocots
dicots: vascular bundles in a single cylinder
monocots: complexly arranged in the pith tissue
Compare the cambium of dicots v monocots
dicots: new ring of wood each year added by cambium
monocots: don’t have one
compare axial buds to terminal
axial: structures with potential to form vegetative branches
terminal: actively differentiating and developing leaves, nodes, internodes
the dermal tissue type in plants is responsible for
protection and absorption
the vascular tissue system xylem in plants is responsible for
conducts water and dissolved solutes in unidirectional flow from roots to leaves
the vascular tissue system phloem is responsible for
a composite tissue which transports photosynthesis products to the rest of the plant
The cortex of the root is
the large region of ground tissue adjacent to the epidermis
