| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| carbon likes to form bonds with other | carbons to creat 8 in outer shell |
| water is critical to life | all orgs are 70-90% water. water has unique props props stem from structure of molecule plants use water as a force for biochemical rxns use its force to grow- to push cells out |
| water two important bonding structures | polar covalent bond around O hydrogen bond- |
| hydrogen bond | slightly positive h of one water molecule is attracted to the O of another which is - |
| porps of water making life possible | good solvent cohesion and adhesion high surface tension high heat capacity high heat of vaporization varing density |
| high heat capacity | many H bonds ling water molecules and allow water to absorb heat with out greatly changing its temp -temp rises and falls slowly |
| high heat of vaporization | takes alot of E to break H bonds for evaporation -heat is dispelled as water evaporates |
| freezing poiont depression | low freezing pt |
| water tends to stay at pretty ____distances from eachother | equal |
| vacuole in a plant | is a large space bc its packed with H20 |
| plant | root, shoot, leaves |
| vegitative stage | growing stage of plants |
| reproductive stage | E used to make flowers |
| water potential | ability to do work |
| fork w= | fork solute + fork pressure |
| fork = | potential |
| fork water | always wants to be equal |
| !!!!! | water wants to go where forkS(solute) is negative |
| water potential used in plants | to drive substances up and down plant |
| alot of materials can stay in plant | vacuole |
| phloem | pressure driven flow |
| apoplastic loading | loading occurs at end of mesophyl cells, goes through cell wall (can go in btw cell) ( moves in cell walls) |
| symplastic cell | entire transport is through membrane, has to go through cell( moves within cell cytoplasm) |
| temperature doesnt affect | plants as much as humans |
| xylem | move water |
| pits | areas of cell wall alcking secondary wall but where primary wall is present |
| tracheary water transport | Movement of water btw adjacent tracheids occurs exclusively throuugh pits in cell wall, water movement along vesssels occurs largely through unobstructed perforation plates in end walls |
| cavitation | introduction of air bubbles in water column blocking water transport |
| if too muc hwater | leaves allow dew through xylem tubes ( morning dew) |
| hairs and wax on leaves and stems | reduce water loss from the above-ground parts of plants |
| somata | permits gas exchange in stem and leaf but loses water |
| stomata | guard cells specialized in pairs that open for gas exchange and let out water vapor- open at night -allow co2 in |
| water that excapes via stomata forms a layer which | allows more gas to come in and less h20 to go otu |
| one cell layer where stomata are | daf |
| stomata open/close | inflate when full of water ( turged) so open, when low h20 then shrivel up and close |
| open or close | depends on interactions btw hormones and ions --AbA Abscizic Acid tells them when to close or open |
| ABA | abscizic Acid tells stomata to open or close, tells when plant is being eaten |
| stomatal appature | how big gap is depends on how much water you have, varies on time of day |
| stomata open in response to | blue light |
| stomata close in response to | ABA |
| Why plants need.... | |
| Calcium wpn | new leaves misshapen or stunted existing leaves remain green |
| wpn Nitrogen | upper leaves light green lower leaves yellow bottom older leaves yellow and shrivelled |
| wpn zinc | chlorosis between veins yellowing tips and margins spreading grey-brown spots |
| phosphate | leaves darker than normal loss of leaves |
| iron | young leaves are yellow/white with green veins mature leaves are normal |
| potassium | yellowing tips at edges especially in young leaves dead or yellow patches or spots develop on leaves |
| mangenese | yellow spots and or elongated holes between veins |
| magnesium | lower leaves turn yellow from edge inwards veins remain green |
| macronutrients in plants | nitrogen, phosphate, sulfur, magnesium, potassium, calcium |
| nicronutrients | zinc, manganese, iron |
| magnesium | important up to 2% of weight of plant |
| plants pull ions from soil | via cotransporter |
| it is easy for plants to import | cations |
| it is difficult to import | anions |
| soil | breakdown of materials in earths crust |
| number of water in soil | is determined by size and shape of soil |
| soil organisms | excrete substances that are critical to keep soil associated w eachother makes a kind of glue |
| fungi | alot of soil fungi grows btw plant cells to get carbon and gives plant minerals in turn- symbiosis |
| fungi hyphi | hold soil together |
| roots excret____ and ____ to make shield to get minerals in plant | sugars and liquids |
| soil particles can be attracted to eachother bc of | static attractions |
| things that help hold soil together | and allows plant to take hold here |
| ellectrochemical gradients | assist in getting minerals in |
| unions | plants have alot of proton atpases and -100 to -150 mV plant cells |
| tonoplasts | membrane around vacuole + membrane potential |
| nitrogen | plants can take up small and large quantities usually receptors are very specific in molar range |
| casperian strips | alot of toxic chemicals can just chill there |
| types of soil | sand silt clay |
| sand | biggest form of broken dwn rock that can be part of soil, not alot of surface area, harder for plants to live in sand |
| silt | medium, stuff can grow -30-40 microns |
| clay | smallest, need to have enough clayed silt in sand to be livable |
| plants cant take in nitrogen easily | so nitrification and nitrocification |
| nitrificaiton | nitrites (NO2-) to Nitrates (NO3-) |
| nitrocification | Ammonium ( NH4-) to Nitrites ( NO2-) |
| Bacteria does | nitrification and nitrocificaiton |
| plants take up nitrogen mainly in form of | nitrates |
| nitrogenase complex | very complez strucutre that brings up nitrogen in a plant |
| Alot of plants take up metals bc they are incorporated into | infastructure of proteins |
| elements important in protens | Fe, S, N |
| ammonium | transporter for it and can be taken up and stored in vacuole and can be taken to plastid for conversion to glutamine, |
| AMT | transporter that takes up Ammonium (NH4-) |
| TIP | transporter that takes NH3 into vacuole for storage ( becomes NH4-) in vacuole again |
| Nitrate transporter | a symporter of 2 H and a nitrate NO3- |
| Proton Pump | actively pumps out H+ to keep down PH in cell bc of symport for nitrate |
| Nitrate Reductase | (NR) makes Nitrate Nitrite NO3- to NO2- -in cytoplasm -can go to vacuole for storage or plastid for use |
| Nitrite Reductase | in plastid -(NiR) -Makes Nitrite into NH4- (Ammonium) |
| GS-GOGAT | 2 enzymes cooperate, Glutamine Synthas and GOGAT, -quickly change Ammonium to glutamine |
| glutamine | -huge currency, source molecule for many nitrogenous containing compounds in plant |
| glutamine can be made in cytosol too and stored in plastid | |
| symplastic transport | going into cells -in soil nitrate not readily available-> plants depend on nutrients form bacteria |
| membrane depolarization bc of nitrate | 250mic micM to 10 mM, depolarizes from -206mV to -118mV |
| so many places where nitrogen processing occurs and many protiens involved | |
| atp required for alot of physporylation | |
| phosphoruss | one of most abundant things on earth, most of it useless to plants |
| key ways of getting phosphorus | one of key ways plants get phosphate is animals either secret it or die-or other plants -mainly organic |
| inorganic phosphate | takes millions of years of sedimentation formation of phosphate rock for plants to be able to take it up |
| import of phosphate | against ecg -one H has to bind and hten a phosphate group binds for conformational change for phosphate in symport PHT1 transporter |
| Fungi and Phosphate | fungi can take it in and incorporate it w other elements and secret it to root |
| Most transporters geared toward | phosphates |
| carboxylates | acids secreted by plants -acidify soil particles- inorganic P is released and taken up by PHT1 |
| why do we need phosphate | phospholipid bylayer, transpor proteins, etc |
| sulfur |
