Plants
Type of complex tissue composed of living and dead cells. One way flow. Transports water upward from the roots to parts of the plants such as stems and leaves, but it also transports nutrients.
What is Xylem?
Glucose and Fructose
What are monosaccrides?
A lipid made with three fatty acids and glycerol
What is a triacylglycerol?
Organelles only in plants
What are Vacuoles, Chloroplasts and a Cell wall?
the effect of environment on plant development (cell differentiation)
Eg. Cabomba (fanwort) has dendridic growth when apical meristem is under water, and large floating leaves when above water
What is developmental plasticity?
Type of complex tissue. Transports sucrose and amino acids.
What is Phloem?
Glucose monomers in starch are bonded by this type of glycosidic linkage.
What is alpha?
non-proteinaceous ion or organic molecule that a protein needs for its activity
What is a co-factor?
Channels that allow materials to move between living cells (small holes). Also connects plant walls.
What is Plasmodesmata?
alternating system of nodes and internodes (leaves and stems)
What is the shoot system?
Gets energy and carbon from chemical sources, and carbon from strictly organic sources
What is Chemoheterotrophic?
Glucose monomers in cellulose are bonded by this type of glycosidic linkage.
What is beta?
The route that molecules use that goes from the symplast to the apoplast, with the plant controlling what actually gets into it's system
What is the transmembrane route?
Uses the sun's energy directly and gets it's carbon from inorganic sources (CO2)
What is Photoautotrophic?
A metabolic pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration of a glucose molecule.
What is gycolysis?
the interconnected dead space of cell walls and extracellualar spaces
What is apoplast?
thin orimary cell wall and a very thick secondary wall made up of polymerized lignin
inflexible and inelastic dead at maturity
two types: fibres and sclereids
What is Sclerenchyma?
The immediate energy source that drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation.
What is H+ concentration across the membrane holding ATP synthase?
