Respiration Flashcards
sucrose
glucose + fructose
Can you transport glucose in a plant
no
phloem moves from _____ to ____
source to sink
source
storage organ or photosynthetic leaf
sink
area that imports sugars to support metabolism
photoassimilates
sugars
does the transport of phloem sap occur actively
no passively- no energy
when there are lots of sugars pumped into a cell water potential (increases or decreases) and it becomes more (positive or negative)
water potential decreases and cell becomes more negative
once sugars are unloaded at the sink they can be 2 things
stored
broken down for energy and carbon skeletons
aerobic respiration
respiration that needs oxygen. the controlled release of energy via oxidation of sugar
inputs of respiration
glucose and o2
outputs of respiration
water energy and CO2
what is energy stored as
atp
where does respiration occur
all living parts of the plant- in mitochondira
where does glycolysis occur
cytoplasm outside of mitochondria
