Resource Aquisituon Plants Flashcards
Water comes through the plant through what. What is this process called that’s one way?
Through the root system to the shoot system and evaporates through the leaves. This is called transportation goes through its own system of tubes called xylem
Sugar in plant goes?
Double sided up and down. But usually flows from a sugar source to a sugar sink or a place in the plant that needs sugar
What are the primary sugar sources in plants
Leaves and travels through the phloem
O2 and CO2 cone out and in
Carbon is taking in by photosynthesis and is fixed into organic material. This process is carbon fixation.
Through photosynthesis oxygen leaves the leaves and cones in through the roots
What organelle foes photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Complete oxidation of glucose
You use the glucose as efficiently as possible to get the most energy out of it
Glycolysis
Incomplete oxidation that gives you some energy and pyruvate
Cellular respiration
Plants have this as well in the mitochondria that maximizes atp
In the root system why does CO2 come out and o2 go in
Because the plant is in the dark. The complete oxidation of glucose is used and cellular respiration occurs to gain energy and release CO2 and water
Phyllotqxy
The way in which leaves are arranged
Leaves are arranged to maximize the sunlight absorption
Are the cells in plants body all connected
Yes intercellular junctions called plasmodesmata
Symplast
In the plasma membrane where the stuff is all connected
Apoplast
Travels in the cell walls and doesn’t contain all the cytosol
Transmemrane route
Start In either the apoplastic or symplastic route and transfer to the other.
What are the types of transport across a cells membrane
Active
Passive
Vesicular
