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?
This is the energetic total of aerobic cellular respiration.
What is 36 ATP?
These are the main three soil particles sizes.
What is sand (largest), silt, and clay (smallest)?
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?
This is the reaction center in plants is most responsible in the production of oxygen.
What is Photosystem 2?
The citric acid cycle (aka the Krebs cycle) takes place here.
What is the matrix of the mitochondrion?
This is when water-soluble nitrates are washed off the landscape to the groundwater?
What is nitrogen runoff (lakes/streams) or leaching (groundwater)?
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?
This is the process microbes in wetlands use to reduce nitrate to atmospheric nitrogen.
What is denitrification?
These plants require less than their critical length of light to flower.
What are short-day plants?
This class of plant hormones are responsible for apical dominance.
What is auxin?
This type of photosynthesis is 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 the term for leaves that encircle the stem (common in grasses) and can form a collar.
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?
