True or False: Every continent on earth has plants of some kind?

TRUE

200

C6 H12 O6 refers to what sugar?

glucose

300

What part of a plant can intercept light, but also functions as a means to remove CO2 from the atmosphere?

Stomata

400

When thinking about the process of photosynthesis, the role of the above ground portions of the plant involves absorbing what resources primarily?

CO2 & Sunlight 

500

______________ prepared one of the earliest function classifications of plants.

Von Humbolt

An area's climate has a mean annual temperature of -8*C, and an average annual rainfall of 50cm. What vegetation community might we expect? (hint: whittaker)  

Tundra

200

C3, C4, CAM are all examples of ?

Photosynthetic types or pathways

300

These tissues help strengthen the stems of plants

Sclerenchyma 

400

Early Terrestrial plants were first seen in the late Palaeozoic era, specifically within the _________ period. 

Devonian 

500

Competition between early land plants and novel terrestrial conditions likely brought intense ______________ upon plants, which allowed them to adapt new characteristics to thrive under these new conditions.

Selection

C3

100

ATP is of what type of molecule in the process of photosynthesis?

Energy molecule 

200

These plants deviate from the norm when it comes to gathering vital macronutrients needed for photosynthesis -- often from making organic stew of small organisms from the animal kingdom. 

Carnivorous plants 

300

The first group to say AH, gets the chance to write the equation for Cellular Respiration on the board. 

C6h12O6 + 6O2 ----> CO2 + H20 + ATP

400

Plants account for _______ % of Earth's living matter

99%

500

This type of photosynthesis is well structured for plants in arid and dry environments, closing stomata during the day and processing CO2 at night.

CAM photosynthesis

C4

100

Typically, plants with seeds are either _________ or ________; which relate to whether a plant flowers - bearing seed within a fruit or whether a plant produces naked seeds typically within a cone. 

Angiosperm or gymnosperm 

200

These plants are not parasitic, but tend to grow on other plants -- relying on rainwater and nearby debris to gather nutrients?

Epiphytes

300

______________ - describes plants where meristem production is high above ground, typically trees and shrubs

Phanerophytes 

400

This metabolic process involves enzymes oxidizing nutrients to release energy in order to produce ATP (&H20 as a byproduct). 

Oxidative Phosphorylation

500

Some plant species likely co-evolved with pollinators to ensure efficient ____________, unlike generalist pollinators which may visit different plants species making _____________ less efficient (hint: same word for the blank).

reproduction

C5

100

Why might species richness in plants be higher near the equator?

Conditions are more conducive/stable - not temperate. (e.g., temp, growing season, precip). 

200

Let's consider a plant is an angiosperm, how might we distinguish whether the plant is a monocot or dicot in its seedling phase?

# of cotyledons 

300

In the process of photosynthesis, the plant stores light energy in membrane within the chloroplast?

Thylakoid

400

This type of photosynthetic pathway allows plants to fix CO2 into a 4 carbon compound (oxaloacetic acid), which ultimately helps plants minimize photorespiration and water loss 

C4

500

Raunkiaer's system is typically limited to what type of comparisons _______________

broad scale comparisons (geographically)
