Word
Definition
transport proteins   embedded in cell membranes, allows most solutes to pass quickly  
🗑
selective channels   selective passageways across the membrane  
🗑
proton pump   important active transporter which hydrolyzes ATP and uses the released energy to pump hydrogen ions out of the cell generating membrane potential  
🗑
cotransport   the coupling of the "downhill" diffusion of one substance to the "uphill" transport of another against its own concentration gradient  
🗑
chemiosmosis   the production of ATP using the energy of hydrogen ion gradients across a membrane to phosphorlate ADP, powers ATP synthesis in most cells  
🗑
osmosis   the passive transport of water across a membrane  
🗑
water potential   combination of solute concentration and pressure  
🗑
megapascals (MPa)   unit for water potential  
🗑
tension   negative pressure on water or solutions  
🗑
plasmolyze   shrink or pull away from cell wall  
🗑
turgor pressure   the cell begins to swell and push against cell wall  
🗑
turgid   the pressure that keeps it firm  
🗑
aquaporin   water specific transport proteins, do not actively transport water, facilitate water diffusion across a lipid bi-layer  
🗑
tonoplast   regulates molecular traffic between the cytosol land vacuolar contents  
🗑
symplast   cytoplasmic continuum connected by the plasmodemata between cells  
🗑
apoplast   a compartment in the continuum of cell walls  
🗑
bulk flow   the movement of fluid driven by pressure  
🗑
mycorrhizae   "infected" roots, the term for the symbiotic structures consisting of the plant's roots intermingled with with hyphae (filaments)  
🗑
endodermis   the innermost layer of cells in the root cortex, surrounds the stele and functions as the checkpoint for the selective passage of minerals from the cortex into the vascular cylinder  
🗑
Casparian Strip   a belt made of suberin, a waxy material that is impervious to water and dissolved minerals  
🗑
root pressure   the upward push of xylem sap  
🗑
guttation   caused by root pressure, the exudation of water droplets that can be seen in the morning on the tips of grass blades or on the leaf margins of some herbaceous dicots  
🗑
transpiration to photosynthesis ratio   the amount of water lost per gram of CO2 assimilated into organic material by photosynthesis  
🗑
circadian rhythms   cycles that have intervals of approximately 24 hrs  
🗑
transloctaion   the transport of food in the plant  
🗑
a sugar source   a plant organ in which sugar is being produced by either photosynthesis or the break down of starch  
🗑
sugar sink   an organ that consumes or stores sugar  
🗑
transfer cells   modified cells to enhance the transfer of solutes between apoplast and symplast  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
