Transport & Leaf Structure
an example of passive transport
simple diffusion OR facilitated diffusion OR osmosis
what the enzyme acts upon
Substrate
pigment gives plants their green colour
chlorophyll
the chloroplast soup is called
the stroma
the mitochondrial soup is called
the matrix
main requirement for active transport
energy or ATP
where the enzyme meets the substrate
active site
tiny openings in the leaf allow gases to enter and leave
Stomata
stacks of thylakoids are called
grana
substance produced during anaerobic respiration in human muscle cells
lactic acid
the tissue where most photosynthesis occurs because it contain many chloroplasts.
Palisade mesophyll
an enzyme is a biological...
catalyst
part of the leaf is mainly responsible for transporting water to the leaf
xylem
what the light-dependent reaction breaks down
water
site of aerobic respiration
mitochondria
The process by which water enters a root hair cell
Osmosis
what happens with mechanical stress, non-optimal pH and high temperatures to enzymes?
denaturation
process breaks water into oxygen and H⁺ ions during the light-dependent
Photolysis/Hydrolysis
what the light-independent reaction builds
glucose
cristae
the leaf structure that contains both xylem and phloem.
Vascular bundle
structure that changes the shape of the enzyme without interacting with the active site
non-competitive inhibitor
limits photosynthesis in deep-water plants
Light Intensity
The enzyme fixes carbon during carbon fixation cycle
RuBisCO
reaction in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration
glycolysis
