why do aspens quake

form and function

sugar maple

sap used to make maple syrup.

aloe vera

aloe vera sap is used in products used for soothing, moisturizing and healing. aloe vera gel (not from vascular aloe tissue) is also used in yogurts, beverages and desserts.

where are chlorophyll like pigments located?

inflonded regions of plasma membrane

Ifphotosynthesizing green algae are provided with CO2 containing heavy oxygen(18O), subsequent analysis will show that 18O is absent from which of thefollowing molecules produced by the algae?

o2

Whichof the following are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that areutilized in the Calvin cycle?

ATP and NADPH

where does calvin cycle take place

stroma of chloroplast

a plant has a unique photosynthetic pigment. the leaves of this plant appear to be reddish yellow. what wavelengths of visible light are being absorbed by this pigment?

blue and violet

Inthe thylakoidmembranes, what is the main role of the pigment molecules in a light-harvestingcomplex?

transfer light energy to the reaction enter chlorophyll

when oxygen is released as a result of photosynthesis, it is a direct by-product of

splitting water molecules

what is primary function of cyclic electron flow?

to produce additional ATP

what does chemiosmotic process in chloroplasts involve

establishment of a proton gradient across thylaoid membrane

cellular respiration is ____ and photosynthesis is ______ .

catabolic. anabolic

where are molecules of electron transport chain associated with photophosphorylation located in plant cells?

thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts

reduction of oxygen to form water occurs during

cellular respiration only

what is relationship between wavelength of light and quantity of energy per photon

they are inversely related

primary function of calvin cycle

produce simple sugars from carbon dioxide

where do enxymatic reactions of calvin cycle take place

stroma of chloroplast

reactions that consume co2 take place in

calvin cycle only

what colors of light are least effective in driving photoynthesis

green and yellow

flow of electrons during photosynthesis

h2o -> NADPH -> calvin cycle

distinction btwn autotophs and heterotrophs

autotrophs, but not hetertrophs can nourish themselves beginning with co2 and other nutrients that are inorganic

what doesnt occur during calvin cycle

release of oxygen

photophosphorylation is most similar to

oxidatative phosphorylatino in cellular respiration

what is driven by light energy

removal of electrons from chlorophyll molecules

shoots and roots

shoots take in: co2, sunlight. out: o2, h2o --- Roots take in h2o, nutrients, o2. out: co2

phylotaxy

arrangement of leaves on stem

____ intake and restriction of _____ ____ are vital to phyllotaxy.

co2 - water loss.

what is a vascular plant?

Vascularplantshavevascular tissues which distribute resources through the plant. Vascular transport allows for larger plants. Vascular plants include trees, flowers,grasses and vines. Vascular plants have a root system, ashoot system and a vascular system. Roots are simple tissues that are derivedfrom the stem of the plant. Roots anchor the plant in the ground and transportminerals and water into the plant.

what are xylem and phloem

vascular tissue that transport fluid and nutrients internally. The xylem isrigid tissue that transports water throughout the plant. Xylem tissuecan be found throughout the plant, in the roots, stem and leaves. The phloemtransports photosynthetic products from where they are made to where they arestored. Phloem bring minerals upthrough the roots and the byproducts of photosynthesis down tomove them throughout the plant.

what is turgor pressure

maintains stiffness of plant tissue

osmosis

Water moves from regions of higherconcentration to regions of lower concentrations.MPa is a unit of pressure with which wemeasure water potential. Mpa ofpure water in an open container at sea level and room temp is0.

water potential

Water potential is the measure of potential energy in water and drives the movement of water throughplants. solutes and pressure affect water ptential

water potential equation

water potential = solute potential + pressure potential

aquaporins

transport proteins that facilitate the movement of water molecules across plant plasma membranes

bulk flow

movement of liquid in response to pressure gradients, is independent of solute concentrations

______ drives the transport of water and minerals from roots to shoots via the ____.

transpiration - xylem
