Names, Nutrition, & New Growth
These are the three essential elements most commonly found on most fertilizer products.
What is N-P-K (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium)?
This anatomical features of C4 plants allow them to better prevent photorespiration.
What is Kranz anatomy?
This hormone is important in elongation and inhibition to plant growth after perception to gravity in roots and stems.
What is auxin?
These are the two main products of photosynthesis.
What is sugar and oxygen?
These are the products of cellular respiration.
What is CO2 and ATP?
These are the main three soil particles sizes.
What is sand, silt, and clay?
This is the elongation of the cells driven by auxin, to grow toward light.
What is phototropism?
This plant hormone can stimulate the development of virgin fruits, and hastens germination as in barley for beermaking.
What are gibberellins?
These two accessory pigments are the reason for colorful leaves in the fall.
What is carotenes and xanthophylls?
The citric acid cycle (aka the Krebs cycle) takes place here.
What is the matrix of the mitochondrion?
These are the primary tissue of roots.
What is the epidermis, cortex, and vascular cylinder?
This is movement in response to an external stimuli is unrelated to the direction of it's stimuli.
What is nastic movement?
This plant hormone prevents germination in seeds.
What is abscisic acid?
This is where the Calvin cycle happen in the mesophyll cells.
What is the stroma of the chloroplasts?
What is responsible for CO2 production in cellular respiration?
What is the oxidation of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA & Citric acid cycle?
These are the primary meristems of the root system from which the primary tissues arise.
What is the protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium?
These plants require less than their critical length of light to flower.
What are short-day plants?
When my neighbor prunes their zinnias shift apical dominance and stimulate growth, this major hormone is being redistributed.
What is auxin?
This type of photosynthesis is best utilized in plants with large vacuoles, living in arid environments.
What is crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)?
This 3 carbon molecule is a product of glycolysis and in the presence of oxygen is converted to Acetyl CoA.
What is pyruvate?
This is a measure of the soil's fertility; that is, the soil's ability to store nutrient positively charged ions.
What is cation exchange capacity?
This is a sequence of DNA that is ideally unique to an organism that allows for it's identification from other species.
What is DNA barcoding?
These are amyloplasts in the rootcap that perceive gravity.
What are statoliths?
This occurs when Rubisco fixes oxygen instead of carbon dioxide and the plant ends up with 3-PGA and 3/4 of the original carbon following a recovery process.
What is photorespiration?
This is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration.
What is Oxygen?
