Key different between sexual and asexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction needs fusions of gametes while asexual reproduction make a genetic clone while sexual reproduction organism is a bit different

Various method of asexual reproduction

Fragmentation, budding vegetative, binary fission, parthenogenesis or arthropods

If organism can use asexual why use sexual ?

Gene variation makes a population of an organism less susceptible to disease and more able to survive if condition goes crappy

What is the red queen hypothesis

It takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place

How is the red queen hypothesis linked to advantages coffer by sexual reproduction

Keep up with predators, the variation genes is one of the way to keep up a species as the environmental condition can continuosly changing and would wiped out a whole species that probably all of those species that reproduce sexually has the same genetic type, therefore to survive in continuously changing environment sexual reproduction can be beneficial. Although it requires energy and takes more time.

What is x,p,q,r,s

X = waxy layer cuticle


P = upper epidermis


Q = palisade mesophyll


R = xylem


S = floem

Effect of air movement (wind speed) on transpiration rate of plants

Up

What is this thing called? And its function

Potometer, to measure rate of water by the plant and not rate of transpiration

Two structure features which plants have in dry environment to survive and adapt

Small surface area and less stomata

Are xylem vessel living or dead structures? Give one answer for your reason

Dead structure do not have protoplasm

Main function of xylem vessel

1)conducting water and dissolve mineral salts from the roots to the stems and leaves,


2)providing mechanical support for the plants

3 ways xylem vessels can adapt to their function

1) no protoplasm to offer resistance to water flow


2)xylem vessel has an empty lumen without protoplasm or end walls to resist water flow through the xylem


3)its walls are thickened with lignin (har and rigid substance) prevents the collapse of the vessel


4)mechanical support to the plant

Path of water takes through a plant experiment

1)celery plant and wash to remove soil


2)plant's stem immersed in red diluted ink(or methylene blue solution)


3) after a few hours red ink has risen up. Cut thin transverse section of the stem and see it under microscope and see that xylem tissue stained red

Translocation

Transport of manufactured food substance such as sugar and amino acid in plants

Ringing experiment

1. cut off a complete ring of bark including the phloem and cambium from the main stem of a woody twig (e.g. Hibiscus) This will leave the xylem exposed. Place the twig in water with the cut ring above the water level


2. Set up a control using an unringed twig


3. Observe the twigs daily. Note where roots or swellings appear Make drawings of your observations. the phloem? .

Root pressure

Water passes from the living cells into the xylem vessels by osmosis and flow upwards with help of capillary action and transpiration pull

Capillary action

Water tends to move up inside very narrow tubes (capilary tubes) due to interraction between water molecules and the surface of the tube and upward movement of water in small plants

Transpiration

Loss of water vapour from a plant, mainly through the stomata of the leaves

Transpiration pulls

Suction force due to transpiration

Transpiration steam

Stream of water up the plant

Transpiration

Cuticular transpiration

Small amount of water evaporates from surface of epidermal cells

Importance of transpiration

Transpiration pull draws water and mineral salts from the roots to the stems and leaves.


Evaporation of water from the cells in the leaves removes latent heat of vaporisation. This cools the plant, preventing it from being scorched by the hot sun.


water transported to the leaves can be used in photosynthesis; to keep cells turgid; and to replace water lost the cells. Turgid cells keep the leaves spread out widely to trap sunlight for photosynthesis.


(Pls memorize this)

Rate of transportation

Loss in mass (g)


_________________ = g/h


Time taken (h)

Factor effect on transpiration

Humidity of the air


Wind or air movement


Temperature of the air


Light

Wilting

Transpiration rate exceed the rate of absorbtion of water by the roots or soft stems ( Balsam plants ) mesophyll cells lose water

Advantage of wilting

Reducing the rate of transpiration (stomata close and guard cells flaccid)

Disadvantage of wilting

Photosynthesis reduce because water is rare and because stomata is closed then carbon dioxide also reduce and because folding leaf reduces surface area exposed to the sun

White blood cells or leucocytes

700(rbc): 1(wbc) 5000-10000


Colourless, does not contain haemoglobin, irregular shape and contain nucleus, move and change shape, fight disease, lifespan only days, two main kinds of this : lymphocyte and phagocyte

Lymphocytes

Phagocytes

Ingest foreign particle like bacteria

Blood platelets or thrombocytes

Not true cell, membrane-bound fragments of cytoplasm from certain bone marrow cell and clots blood

Blood transport oxygen to cells of the body

O2 diffuses from alveoli into the blood, haemoglobin(purplish -red) in the rbc combines with o2 ( combining happens in lungs) to make oxyhaemoglobin(bright light) and as blood passes oxyhaemoglobin release its o2

Protective function of blood

Blood clotting


Phagocytosis


Antibody production
