plant cells have these opposed to other cells
cell walls, plastids, vacuoles
parenchyma cells
thin walled, varying in size, shape, and function-most common type of plant cell. involved in photosynthesis, assimilation, and storage
collenchyma cells
thick walls, support
schlerenchyma
thick walls, support
plastid
stores and manufactures carbohydrates
proplastid
chloroplast-green(photosynthesis), chromoplast-red, yellow, blue, leucoplast-colorless, amyloplast-starch storing
cytoplasmic streaming or cyclosis
the continuous movement of cytoplasm that exchanges materials around the vacuole, cytoplasmic bridges-movement across vacuole
prophase
condensed chromosomes, nuclear envelope disappears
metaphase
centromeres align at equator, spindles develop between poles
anaphase
two chromatids seperate toward poles
telophase
cell plate grows outward from the center, chromosomes become longer and thinner
interphase
cytoplasm divides, DNA replication occurs
in what region of a root tip does mitosis occur?
apical meristem
cortex
tissue located between epidermis and vascular tissue (food storage)
casparian strips
fat around pericycle (waterproofer)
pericycle
produces lateral roots
stele
central vascular system (xylem+phloem)
xylem
vascular system that transports water and minerals
phloem
vascular system that transports water and organic solutes (sugar, carbs)
monocot
fibrous root sytem, vascular bundles in a ring, has a cortex and pith, no vascular cambium, has ground tissue
dicot
tap root system, vascular bundle in center, has a vascular cambium
stomata
two guard cells that regulate gas exchange and transpiration
myth
hypotheses become theories which become laws (not all laws have theories, and theories never become laws)
myth
hypothesis=educated guess (it is a prediction)
myth
a universal scientific method exists
myth
evidence will result in sure knowledge
myth
science provides absolute truth
myth
science is procedural more than creative
myth
science can answer all questions
myth
scientists are objective
myth
experiments are the route to knowledge
characteristics of life
growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, metabolism, movement, organizational complexity, adaptation
matter
occupies space, has mass, composed of elements
atoms
smallest stable subdivision of an element
isotope
elements that have the same properties but differ in the number of NEUTRONS
molecule
two or more atoms
element
composed of one kind of atom, 100s exist
compound
composed of 2+ elements
ionic bond
transfer of outer shell electrons
covalent bond
sharing of outter shell electrons (strongest bond)
hydrogen bond
weak attractive force between molecules
acid
release hydrogen atoms when dissolved in water, <7
base
release hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water, >7
hydrolysis
hydrogen becomes attached to one monomer and a hydroxyl group to the other
fat molecule
glycerol+fatty acid
protein
polypeptide, chain of amino acids
nucleic acid
polymer, involved in internal communication and cell functioning
plasmodismata
straws that connect cells together
endoplasmic reticulum
protein synthesis, lipid secretion
dictysomes
carbohydrates are packaged in ER, polysaccarides are assembled,
mitochondria
cellular respiration
plant growth
osmosis-cell expansion, mitosis-cell division
apical meristems
roots and shoots, primary growth, protoderm-epidermis, ground meristem-ground tissue, procambrium-xylem and phloem
auxin
expands cell wall, osmosis elongates cells, produced by apical meristem, involved in the process of phototropism
phototropism
plants lean towards light
lateral meristems
secondary growth (width)
periderm
replaces epidermis in woody plants, produced by cork cambium
lenticels
allow exchange of gases
root cap
parenchyma cells cover root tip to protect it
pericycle
inner boundary of endodermis, produces lateral roots
mutualistic relationships with roots
mycorrhizae-fungi (phosporus is given to the plant, plant gives sugar to fungus), root nodules-bacteria (bacteria gives plant nitrogen)
stems
radial symmetry, interdeterminate growth (unlimited growth), long lived (main stem grows throughout plant's life)
stem development
apical meristem->mitosis->3 primary meristems develop (protoderm, procambrium, ground meristem)
vascular cambium
produces secondary xylem and phloem in stems and roots
one year's growth of xylem
annual ring
heartwood
old, darker wood at center where xylem is dead
sapwood
lighter, functioning xylem closest to cambium (no sugar here)
bark
all the tissues outside the cambium, including primary and secondary phloem
mitosis
nuclear division, includes in this order-prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis(2 daughter cells formed)
interphase
includes in this order-G1, S, G2
