Botany Exam 2
Botany exam 2 notecards
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Protoplasm | Cytoplasm, and nucleus |
| Sytosol | Cytoplasm |
| Plasma Membrane | Differentially permeable barrier, Controls what can and cannot exit or enter the cell, receives chemical signals, directs assembly of the cell wall |
| Cell Wall | Primary and Secondary, made up of cellulose |
| Primary Cell Wall | Thin and flexible made up of < 25% cellulose |
| Secondary Cell Wall | Rigid lignin layer developed between primary wall and the plasma membrane |
| Middle Lamella | Calcium pectate holding adjacent cells together |
| Plasmodesmata | Narrow channels lined by a plasma membrane that provide a pathway for the transport of certain substances between cells |
| Nucleus | Contains most of the cells DNA, Has Nuclear Envelope, and nucleolus. Double phosopholipid bilayer |
| Ribosomes | Protein synthesis, make proteins destined for the cytosol, plastids, mitochondria, and perioxomes |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | "Smooth and Rough" system of flattened tubes and sacs |
| Smooth ER | Synthesis of phospholipids and new membranes |
| Rough ER | Major protein synthesis center due to the presence of ribosomes |
| Golgi Body | Part of the packaging system for secretion |
| Vacuole | Forms from fusion of Golgi derived vesicles or ER, takes up large space in cell. |
| Mitochondria | Capture energy released from oxidation of carbohydrates as ATP |
| Plastids | Chloroplasts, Chromoplast, Lucoplast, and Amyloplast. Synthesize starch, amino acids, and fatty acids |
| Chloroplast | Site of photosynthesis, give green color |
| Chromoplast | Plastids that are other colors than green |
| Leucoplast | Colorless Plastids |
| Amyloplast | Store large amounts of starch long term |
| Cell Theory | Cell is smallest living unit, all organisms are composed of one or more cells, cells come from other cells, all are fundamentally alike |
| Cell types | Eukaryotic, Prokaryotic |
| Assimilation | Things you are taking in from your environment to construct yourself |
| Growth | Determinant and Indeterminant, limited by an organisms genetic heritage and environmental factors |
| Determinant Growth | Animals |
| Indeterminant Growth | Plants |
| Plant movements | In response to stimuli, or part of developmental process |
| Quantitative Data | Measurements made using a standard scale with equal intervals |
| Qualitative Data | Measurements made using non-standard scales with either discrete categories or unequal intervals |
| Nominal Data | Cannot be rank ordered; gender, flower color, leaf morphology |
| Ordinal Data | Can be rank ordered; developmental stages |
| Line Graph | Quantitative Data |
| Bar Graph | Qualitative Data |
| X-axis | Independent variable |
| Y-axis | Dependent variable |
| Organ | A collection of tissue that cooperate in performing one or more functions |
| Vegetative Organs | Root, stem, leaf |
| Tissue | A collection of cells that cooperate in performing one or more functions |
| Types of Tissue | Meristematic, Ground, Dermal, and Vascular |
| Meristematic Tissue | Apical meristem, Primary meristem, Lateral meristem |
| Primary meristem | Procambium, Protoderm, Ground meristem |
| Procambium | Primary meristematic tissue that makes vascular tissue |
| Protoderm | Primary meristematic tissue that makes epidermis |
| Ground meristem | Primary meristematic tissue that makes ground tissue |
| Lateral Meristem | Secondary meristematic tissue that is made of vascular cambium or cork cambium |
| Ground Tissue | Pith, Cortex, and Mesophyll |
| Dermal Tissue | Epidermis, Periderm (cork) |
| Vascular Tissue | Xylem, and Phloem |
| Meristem | A collection of dividing cells found in specific places in a plant. |
| Primary Growth | Herbatious growth, all plants, occurs at tips of roots and stems, increases plant length |
| Apical Meristem | Produces the Primary meristematic tissues |
| Secondary Growth | Woody growth, some plants, occurs laterally in rings, increases plant girth. New vascular and protective tissue |
| Ground Tissue | Food, or water storage, photosynthesis and respiration, provide support |
| Ground tissue cells | Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma |
| Parenchyma Cells | Alive at maturity, polyhedral shape, large vacuole, least specialized, totipotency |
| Totipotency | The ability to make a whole plant |
| Collenchyma Cells | Alive at maturity, strands or cylinders found just inside the epidermis, provide flexible support for young plant parts |
| Sclerenchyma Cells | Dead at maturity, thick secondary walls, mechanical protection or support |
| Brachysclereids | Sclerenchyma cells with thick cell walls |
| Astrosclereids | Sclerenchyma cells that branch like stars, found in aquatic plants to hold open air space |
| Dermal Tissue | Outermost cell layer, provides protection, gas exchange, waterconservation |
| Primary growth dermal cells | Epidermal cells, guard cells, trichomes |
| Secondary growth dermal cells | Cork cambium, Cork, Phelloderm |
| Xylem | Transport of water and dissolved minerals obtained from soil up through the plant |
| Phloem | Transport of sucrose and other soluble organic molecules down through the plant |
| Xylem cells | Parenchyma cells, Fibers, Tracheids, and Vessel elements |
| Phloem cells | Parenchyma cells, Fibers, Sieve tube elements with companion cells |
