Quiz 1 Flashcards
Central Vacuole (Plant Cell) (2)
- function: storage/osmoregulation (90% of volume)
- membrane bound –> Tonoplast (highly permeable)
Nucleus (Plant Cell) (2)
- double membraned (nuclear envelope)
- Polyploidy common (diff # of chromosomes)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Plant Cell)
cell to cell communication
Smooth ER (Plant Cell)
produces lipids/fatty acids
Rough ER (Plant Cell)
has ribosomes –> produces proteins
Golgi Apparatus location
close to cell wall
Golgi Apparatus (Plant Cell)
secretes vesicles for packaging
- “repackaging” molecules & delivers products in vesicle
Many cell wall components made/packaged where?
Golgi Apparatus
Organelles resulting from endosymbiosis (3)
- ) mitchondria –> proteobacterium ( Gram (-) )
- ) chloroplast –> cyanobacteria (Gram (-) )
- ) Nucleus (2 membranes) –> likely an engulfed archae
Mitochondria (Plant Cell)
+ components & their functions
aerobic respiration
- outer mem
- innner mem - ETC
- matrix - Krebbs/Citric Acid Cycle
where does aerobic respiration occur?
mitochondria
where does anaerobic respiration occur?
cytoplasm
Proplastids (3) w/ their stimulation
Chloroplast (light)
Chromoplast (dormancy storage of pigments)
Leucoplast (storage/no light)
Chloroplast (Plant Cell)
oxygenic photosynthesis (where sugars are made) & can store starch/sugars
Chromoplast (Plant Cell)
has carotenoids / lacks chlorophyll
Leucoplast (Plant Cell)
+ 1 type
no pigments / few-no thylakoids
+ Amyloplast - stores starch
Peroxisome (Plant Cell)
degrade/metabolize certain chemicals
- produce peroxide (poisonous) then breaks it down
Peroxisomes are also involved in
photorespiration
Cytoskeleton is made of
made of MT’s + Actin Filaments (MF’s)
Cytoskeleton (Plant Cell) responsible for
cytoplasmic streaming = movement of chloroplasts (light dependent)
Plant Cell Wall is composed of
cellulose
what is cellulose
cellulosic linkages prevent the molecule from being easily damaged (good structural trait)
Green Plant Cell Walls
Beta 1-4 linked glucose monomers = cellulose backbone
hard to digest
cellulose produced by
cellulose synthase
cellulose synthase found in
plasma membrane
cellulose synthase function
organizes glucose monomers into parallel layers of cellulose
1 cellulose molecule =
microfibril
2* CW arrangement
microfibrils in each layer are parallel to e/o
innermost layers are parallel to longest axis of cell
2* CW components (5)
- ) Hemicelluloses
- ) Pectins
- ) Glycoproteins
- ) Lignin
- ) Suberin
Hemicellulose
hydrophilic
Pectins
1* CW & middle lamella
hydrophilic
Glycoproteins
hydrophilic
Lignin
hydrophobic
resist UV, bacteria, some fungi
& stiffens microfibrils
Suberin
hydrophobic
associated with lipids (waxes, etc.)
(bark of a plant –> skin of a potato/apple)
Plasmodesmata
small openings include primary pit field
Cell Plate made of
pectin
Cell Plate formation occurs & ends
during telophase
ends cytokinesis
Phragmoplast
assembles/organizes cell plate
cell plate will become
middle lamella
1* Growth typically
apical (@ tips)
most basal land plant
liverwort
Apical growth: basal (seedless) plants w/ vascular tissue have
1 apical cell (seedless vascular plants)
Plants that produce seeds have
apical meristems for cell division & growth
apical meristem =
region of undifferentiated cells @ apex (tip) of an organ (shoots, (stem, leaves, repro. organs) roots)
Tunica gives rise to
protoderm –> epidermis
Protoderm gives rise to
epidermis
Corpus gives rise to
ground meristem –> ground tissues
Ground meristem gives rise to
ground tissues
Aglaophyton has no
vascular tissue
roots
Aglaophyton has
shoots w/ dichotomous branching (ea. shoot only divides into 2)
rhizome
rhizoids
Rhizome
lateral stem (usually underground)
Rhizoids
1 cell thick (root-ish)
monopodial growth
1 main axis
axillary bud responsible for
branching
epidermis important for
land plants
Guard Cells control
stomata opening & closing (only in cells in epidermis w/ chloroplasts)
Cuticle =
cutin + waxes
subsidiary cells aid
in stomata opening & closing
gaurd cells (to open) pump
H+ OUT
gaurd cells (to open) receive
K+, Cl-, H2O IN
Trichomes happen by
outgrowths of the cell wall
