Botany Exam 2

Botany exam 2 notecards

QuestionAnswer
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

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.
