Levels of Complexity
Cells are made of...
Organelles
How do plant cells that do not have chlorophyll get food?
The phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the cells in the plant
Photosynthesis occurs in...
The leaves
Which organ transports water up the stem of the plant?
The xylem
How many times does an adult giant panda defecate everyday on average
~40 times each day
Organs are made of...
Tissues
What is transpiration?
The process by which water enters AND exits a plant
Photosynthesis is done so plants can make...
Glucose
How do stomata know when to open or close?
Stomata will automatically close when the guard cells are dehydrated, and open when hydrated. Water automatically controls the system
Which planet is closest to Earth for the longest amount of time each year?
Mercury
Organ Systems are made of...
Organs
In our celery experiment, was more water lost to transpiration or evaporation? How did we test for this?
More was lost to transpiration, we had a control vial to measure evaporation
When talking about plants and animals, which one uses the process of photosynthesis? What about cellular respiration?
Plants AND animals do aerobic cellular respiration, Only plants do BOTH aerobic cellular respiration AND photosynthesis
Which plant organ is responsible for getting water from the soil?
The roots
The lower half of a horses front legs are most analogous to which part of your body?
Your Middle Finger
Organisms are made of...
Organ Systems
If you place a tree bag over a branch of a tree when there has been a lot of rain, how much moisture do you expect to see in the bag a day later? Why?
Lots, the stomata would be open
If the formula for Photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2, what is the equation for aerobic cellular respiration?
The reverse, C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
Which organ lets gases INTO the plant? Which organ lets water OUT of the plant?
The Stomata does both
How many olfactory neurons does the average adult bloodhound have?
~300 million
Leaves and Stems are examples of...
Organs
List the process of transpiration from the time water enters a plant to when it exits
Roots -> Xylem -> Leaf Veins -> Stomata -> Air
What is the point of making glucose if plants just break it down through Aerobic Cellular Respiration?
Glucose stores energy so it can be used WHEN and WHERE the plant wants to use it
Where does water go in the leaves before it reaches the stomata?
The veins of the leaves
~10 million
