Alternation of Generations
|
A life cycle that alternates between two multicellular body forms, a haploid gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte.
|
|
|
Chlorophyll A
|
Moat common photosynthetic pigment in plants, photosynthetic protists, and bacteria.
|
|
|
Carbon Fixation
|
Process by which carbon form an inorganic source such as carbon dioxide gets incorporated into an organic molecule.
|
|
|
Calvin Cycle
|
Second stage of photosynthesis: light-independent reactions that form sugars by fixing carbon from CO2. Runs in the stroma of chloroplasts on the chemical energy of ATP and the energy of electrons donated by NADPH.
|
|
|
CAM Plants
|
Type of C4 Plant that conserves water by fixing carbon twice, at different times of day.
|
|
|
C4 Photosynthesis
|
Minimizes photo-respiration by fixing carbon twice, in two cell types.
|
|
|
Cell Cycle
|
A series of events from the time a cell forms until its cytoplasm divides; comprises G1, S, G2, and mitosis.
|
|
|
Cell Plate
|
After nuclear division in a plant cell, a disk-shaped structure that forms a cross-wall between the two new nuclei.
|
|
|
Cleavage Furrow
|
Indentation where a contractile ring is pinching an animal cell in two during cytoplasmic division.
|
|
|
Crossing Over
|
Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange corresponding segments during prophase 1 of Meiosis. Gives rise to new combinations of parental alleles among offspring of sexual reproducers.
|
|
|
Growth Factors
|
Molecules that stimulate mitosis and differentiation.
