Cards

Term
Root cap
Definition
cluster of protective, slimy cells that protect the apical meristem as the root pushes through the soil
Term
Zone of division
Definition
meristem area where mitosis and cytokinesis produce new cells
Term
zone of elongation
Definition
where cells lengthen
Term
zone of differentiation
Definition
cells become a distinct cell type
Term
Difference between monocot and eudicot vascular bundle
Definition
eudicot - xylem and phloem in the center, large region of cortex
monocot - parenchyma in the center, large vessels inside in the steel space out
Term
leaf primordia
Definition
embryonic leaf tissues that develop into leaves
Term
Apical meristem
Definition
grows upward, shoots
Term
axillary meristem
Definition
grows laterally, branches
Term
primary growth
Definition
height
Term
secondary growth
Definition
girth/width
Term
cork cambium
Definition
second ___ that forms on the cortex, or outside the secondary phloem. It produces cells that replace the epidermis
Term
bark consists of
Definition
periderm (cork cambium + cork) and secondary phloem
Term
lists the layers of a vascular bundle
Definition
pith
xylem
cambium
phloem
cortex
cork
Term
difference between early and late wood
Definition
e- spring
l - summer & fall
Term
function and location of pericycle
Definition
it is the region of division between the secondary phloem and the endodermis, its the outermost layer of the vascular cylinder
Term
Lateral shoots arise from the
Definition
vascular bundle
Term
how is plane of division determine
Definition
how the microtubules are connected just before mitosis as they anchor the chromosomes in the cytoplasm
Term
homeotic genes
Definition
master regulatory genes that determine the differentiation (fate) of groups of cells. They code for proteins that bind to DNa and affect which genes are transcribed
Term
proton pumps
Definition
use ATP to pump H+ out of cell
Term
cation (+) uptake
Definition
cations move along H+ charge gradient via cation transport protein
Term
anion co-transport
Definition
H+ and anion brought into cell together by a transport protein with two active sites
Term
neutral solute co-transport
Definition
H+ and neutral solute transported by a protein with two active sites
Term
turgor pressure
Definition
pressure of cell contents against the cell wall
Term
aquaporins
Definition
membrane proteins that facilitate water transport
Term
apoplast
Definition
continuous space joining everything outside the plasma membrane
Term
symplast
Definition
continuous cytosol, joined between cells by plasmodesmamta
Term
translocation
Definition
movement of sugars from one part of a plant to another
Term
if a sugar molecule is in the apoplastic space, how does it get back into the symplasm
Definition
cotransported with H+
Term
bees drawn to
Definition
yellow, blue, UV
Term
moth & butterflies
Definition
fragrant light flowers (white)
Term
birds
Definition
nectar-rich flowers
Term
flies
Definition
flowers like dead meat
Term
bats
Definition
fragrant, white, nectar-rich flowers
Term
genet
Definition
clonal colony of genetically identical individuals
Term
ramet
Definition
individual plant that is part of a genet, sprouted from roots of neighbors
Term
self incompatibility
Definition
biobhemical mechanism to stop fertilization by "self" pollen
Term
dioecious
Definition
separate male and female individuals
Term
Where would you not find a meristem?
Definition
root hair
Term
where is the force generated that moves water from soil into the roots?
Definition
on the micro fibrils of the mesophyll cell in the leaf
Term
Auxins I
Definition
stimulates elongation in young shoots
Term
Auxins II
Definition
inhibits growth at axillary meristems
Term
apical dominance
Definition
central main stem grows more than side stems (trimming shrubs)
Term
cytokinin
Definition
produced in the roots and actively growing areas. Affect parenchyma differentiation. High ratio cell become shoots, low ratio cell becomes roots
Term
abscisic
Definition
slows growth, high concentratino prevents seeds from germinating at the wrong time
Term
ethylene
Definition
produced in response to mechanical stress, induces triple response that helps growing plants avoid obstacles
Term
Phytochrome
Definition
absorbs red light
Term
triple response
Definition
slowing of stem elongation
thickening of the stem
stem curvature
Term
Gene-for-gene recognition
Definition
plants recognize identity of pathogen-derived molecules
Term
hypersensitive response
Definition
death of infected cells & antibiotic production at infected site
Term
systemic acquired resistance
Definition
non-specific defense genes turned on throughout plant for days after recognition
Term
What hormone helps expalin why "one bad apple spoils the bunch"
Definition
ethylene
Term
What is it about light that determines germination of moistened lettuce seeds?
Definition
color of light seeds last exposed to
Term
photorespiration
Definition
sugars burned, no energy harvested
Term
When does photorespiration occur?
Definition
low water (stomata closed) or high temperatures
Term
times when C4 and C3 grow better
Definition
C4 more active in summer (hotter temperatures)
C3 more active in spring & fall
Term
A genes
Definition
create sepals and petals
Term
B genes
Definition
make stamens and carpels
Term
C genes
Definition
make stamens and carpels
Term
Parenchyma cells
Definition
perform most of the metabolic functions of the plant, synthesizing and storing various organic products
Term
collenchyma cells
Definition
grouped in strands, they support young parts of the plant shoot, flexible
Term
sclerenchya cells
