🧬📗1️⃣ Module 5 - Plant Gas Exchange - SET 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gas exchange | Movement of O2 and CO2 between an organism and its environment. |
| Photosynthesis | Process where plants convert CO2 and water into glucose and O2 using sunlight. |
| Stomata | Small pores on leaves/stems that regulate gas exchange and water loss. |
| Guard cells | Paired cells controlling stomatal opening and closing. |
| Stomatal opening | Guard cells take in K+ and Cl–, water enters, cells become turgid, pore opens. |
| Stomatal closing | Triggered by water stress, darkness, or ABA; ions exit guard cells, pore closes. |
| Abscisic acid (ABA) | Hormone that promotes stomatal closure during drought. |
| Transpiration | Loss of water vapor through stomata; drives water movement in plants. |
| Lenticels | Corky openings on woody stems for gas exchange. |
| CO2 uptake | CO2 enters through stomata for photosynthesis. |
| O2 release | Oxygen exits stomata as a byproduct of photosynthesis. |
| Blue light effect | Blue wavelengths stimulate K+ uptake → stomatal opening. |
| High CO2 effect | High internal CO2 causes stomata to close. |
| Temperature effect | Stomata close when temperature exceeds 34°C. |
| CAM plants | Open stomata at night to conserve water in arid environments. |
| Dermal tissue | Outer protective layer of plants; includes stomata and guard cells. |
| Ground tissue | Internal tissue for photosynthesis, storage, and support. |
| Vascular tissue | Conducts water, minerals, and sugars (xylem + phloem). |
| Gas exchange requirement | Surfaces must be moist, thin, and large for diffusion. |
| Diffusion | Movement of molecules from high to low concentration. |
