Plant taxonomy
Which is the largest flower on Earth?
Raffelesia
Peat formation occurs in which type of wetlands?
Bogs
Alternate versions of the same gene
Allele
Bitter, nitrogen-containing organic compounds produced by plants for defense, such as caffeine, morphine, and nicotine.
Alkaloid
The loss of water vapor through tiny pores called stomata in plant leaves.
Transpiration
The state flower of Maharashtra is
Lagersteroemia
The total dry weight or mass of all organic matter in a given trophic level or ecosystem.
Biomass
A pattern of inheritance where a heterozygous individual shows a blended intermediate phenotype
Incomplete dominance
Water-soluble polyphenolic pigments responsible for the red, purple, and blue colors in flowers, fruits, and leaves.
Anthocyanins
The key enzyme responsible for carbon fixation during the Calvin cycle, which is also the most abundant protein on Earth.
RuBisCO
Genus showing hypanthodium type of inflorescence
Ficus
Organisms that consume both plants and animals, occupying multiple trophic levels simultaneously.
Omnivores
An autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells that clog blood vessels.
Sickle cell anemia
The major metabolic pathway starting from phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose-4-phosphate that produces aromatic amino acids and phenolic compounds in plants.
Shikimic pathway
The gaseous plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening and leaf abscission.
Ethylene
Common name of Artocarpus heterophyllous
Jackfruit
Behavior that benefits another individual at a cost or potential risk to the actor performing the behavior.
Altruism
The chromosomal disorder caused by nondisjunction resulting in an extra copy of chromosome 21.
Down syndrome
The largest class of plant secondary metabolites, built from repeating 5-carbon isoprene units (C5H8)
Terpenes
Special leaf structure in C4 plants where bundle sheath cells form a ring around vascular bundles to minimize photorespiration.
Kranz anatomy
Which classification system uses phylogenetic data to group plants
APG or Angiosperm phylogeny web
Strips/parts of natural habitat that connect isolated populations, allowing gene flow and reĺpducing the effects of fragmentation.
Wildlife corridor
The organelle in the cytoplasm where translation occurs to assemble proteins.
Ribosomes
Anti-nutritional phenolic compounds that bind and precipitate proteins, giving unripe fruits their astringent taste and protecting plants from herbivores.
Tannins
The water-transport theory that explains how water is pulled up tall trees via evaporation at leaves combined with water molecule attraction.
Cohesion-Tension Theory
