DAT ch 9

bio- autotrophic nutrition from coursesaver notes

QuestionAnswer
Chloroplast plastid containing chlorophyll pigment and thylakoid membranes; photosynthesis ---
Thylakoid Membrane network of membranes; contains chlorophyll; stacked into columns called grana, high H+ w/i during chemiosmosis ---
Photosystem light capturing unit of the thylakoid; center is a single chlorophyll---
Photosynthesis involves reduction of CO2 to carb and release of O2 from water; net reaction is reverse of respiration---
Light Reactions convert solar energy to ATP and NADPH---
Cyclic e Flow series of redox reactions returns electrons to P700; ATP prod ---
Noncyclic KEY pathway; high-energy electrons are transferred to electron acceptor NADP+; net result is production of NADPH and ATP / photolysis of water ---
Dark Reactions use ATP and NADPH to reduce CO2 to carbs (CO2 fixed to RBP – Calvin cycle) ; product is three carbon PGAL; six turns of the cycle (6 CO2 and 6 RBP) = 12 PGAL; 12PGAL can be converted to 1 glucose + 6RBP; PGAL = prime end product (immediate food nutrient)
Leaf site of photosynthesis; several adaptations for efficiency---
Waxy Cuticle reduce transpiration and conserve water---
Casparian strip waxy band in plants that aid in water control---
Spongy Layer moist surface necessary for diffusion of gases---
Guard Cells surround stomata and control its size; open during day; contain chloroplasts thus produce glucose; high glucose content causes cell to swell and open---
Nitrifying Bacteria oxidize ammonia and nitrites to nitrates and use the energy to make glucose; plants use the nitrates to make proteins---
Palisade layer cells found within the mesophyll in leaves of dicotyledonous plants. contain chloroplasts

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
