66 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
area of petiole where falling off from plant occurs
abscission zone
plants that dwell in dry, desert environments
xerophytes
modified leaves or stipules
spines
modified stems that arise from auxiliary buds where the leaf joins the stem
thorns
prickles develop from the ______
epidermis
Light reactions produce: [3]
02
ATP
NADPH
ATP is synthesized using energy obtained from______
chemiosmosis
Enzyme that functions as an oxygenase, resulting in photophosphorylation
Rubisco
pathway that limits carbon loss from photorespiration
C4
Stores CO2 in a C4 acid at night for use in calvin cycle during the day
CAM Plants
bacteria that don't rely on photosynthesis; they get carbon form CO2 and energy form inorganic chemicals
chemoautotrophs
The Calvin Cycle occurs in the ______
Stroma
Tablet shapes stacked in the Granum
Thykaloids
A stack of Thykaloids
Granum
photosynthesis Formula
6CO2 + 12H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H20
what is it called when photons pass through the leaf
transmission
when photons are trapped by pigments in leaf it is called:
absorbtion
when photons are reflected off leaf:
reflection
movement of energy through pigments until it reaches chlorophyll a [builds up energy until it kicks out e-]
energy migration
reemition of light at a longer wavelength by molecules
fluorescence
what is the opening in a thykaloid
lumen
runs between grana
strom thykaloid
where do light reactions take place
thykaloid membrane
purpose of light reactions in thykaloid membrane
to produce ATP & NADPH molecules that are used in the Calvin Cycle in order for the plant to make sugar
group of accessory pigments around chloraphyll a
antenna pigment molecules
reaction center + pigment molecules + associated proteins
antenna complex
4 major concepts of photosynthesis
photolysis
chemiosmosis
photophosphoryllation
reduction of NADP+
H2O is split
e- go to P680
required for light reaction to continue
O2 is a waste product
photolysis
movement of H+ atoms from stroma to lumen
creates gradients of charge & concentration
gradient provides energy for photophosphoryllation
chemiosmosis
adding e- to NADP+
makes NADPH
NADPH is e- donor in Calvin Cycle
Reduction of NADP+
"dark reactions" or light independant reactions
The Calvin cycle
carbon from CO2 is bound into non-gaseous, more complex molecule
carbon fixation
3 phosphoglycerate
3 carbon molecule
Enzyme responsible for carbon fixation
rubisco
the production of CO2 as a result of ribusco activity
photorespiration
binds CO2 with 4- carbon molecules
C4 pathway
Cells where Calvin cycle is carried out in C4 plants
bundle-sheath cells
cells that carry out c4 pathway
mesophyll cells
enzyme that carries out carbon fixation in C4 pathway
PEP carboxylase
enzyme that only bonds CO2
PEP carboxylase
enzyme that bonds both CO2 & O2
rubisco
ring-like arrangement of bundle-sheath cells in C4 leaves
Kranz anatomy
the oxygenase activity of rubisco predominates when
high concentrations of O2

high temperatures

high light levels
C4 plants are more efficient when
CO2 concentrations are low
high light
high temperature
C4 fixation has extra costs [2]
uses two additional ATP

requires extra enzymes
dessicated cell is called
plazmolized
diffusion of water through membrane
osmosis
describe difference in sun/shade leaves
sun leaves are thicker due to longer palisades mesophyll.
what happens in petiole to cause abscission
separation of cells and weakening of fibers create abscission zone so tree may "shed" unproductive structures.
large, bubble-shaped epidermal cells that occur in groups on the upper surface of the leaves of many grasses
bulliform cells
What is the function of Bulliform cels
: Fold leaves during water stress to reduce transpiration losses.
what is the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid called
Brownian movement
what is the movement of non-polar molecules from area of high concentration to low concentration?
diffusion
what is the source of energy for diffusion
Brownian movement
portion of a solution being dissolved
solute
portion of a solution doing the dissolving
solvent
name for higher concentration of solute outside cell
hypertonic
name for lower concentration of solute outside cell
hypotonic
what is it called when water rises of its own accord in a glass tube?
capillary action
advantages/disadvantages of symplastic movement
allows regulation

slower than apoplastic
water movement in roots through the cell cytoplasm & plasmodesmata
symplastic movement
Phyllodes tumor: which decade is most common for onset and malignant or benign
Most common in 6th decade. Some may become malignant
advantages/disadvantages of apoplastic movement of water in roots
faster

no regulation
functions of the epidermis
1.) casparian strip stops apoplastic movement
2.) forces h2o into regulated flow area
water soluble pigments
phycocyanins
chlorophyll is water/fat soluble
fat soluble
