Choloroplasts
only on plants. a green organelle that contains CHLOROPHYLL and is the site of photosynthesis.
26
photosynthesis
The process by which plants use light energy to produce food in the form of carbohydrates.
27
cell wall
> specific for plants. It's a rigid and supportive structure that is made of CELLULOSE that surrounds the cell membrane of plant cells.
28
Hypertonic
a solution (the outside) has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell. Water will leave the cell; this is called PLASMOLYSIS. Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cell. ex: too much salt outside the cell, water goes out and it shrinks the cell.
29
Hypotonic
A solution has a lower concentration of solutes than the cell. Water will enter the cell; this is called cytolysis. Cytolysis is where there's too much salt IN the cell, water outside the cell goes into the cell, and it makes the cell bigger.
30
Isotonic
The solution has the same concentration of solutes as the cell. Water will move in and out of the cell equally, keeping a healthy cell.
31
facilitated diffusion, carrier proteins
diffusion of molecules across a membrane through binding with carrier proteins. DOES NOT REQUIRE ENERGY. > Carrier proteins are membrane proteins that help materials cross the membrane by changing shape. - occurs down a concentration gradient (low to high) and is considered a type of passive transport.
32
active transport
Movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. IT IS AGAINST THE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT. The carrier proteins work almost as a pump to move molecules/ions across the membrane. This process requires energy in the form of ATP.
33
diffusion
movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
34
osmosis
The movement of water across a cell membrane, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
35
fluid mosaic model
A mosaic is a collection of different substances held together by a common material. The fluid-mosaic model is also the cell membrane proteins that are floating around in a jelly-like fluid known as the lipid bilayer.
36
why are the cells the size they are?
because the bigger they are, the less efficient they are.
37
exocytosis
The reverse of endocytosis. It allows the material stored in vesicles and vacuoles to exit the cell. > the membrane of the vesicle or vacuole fuses with the cell membrane, releasing its contents. > This process is important in the secretion of specialized cell products such as enzymes and hormones.
38
endocytosis
Substances that cannot be moved by passive or active transport use ENDOCYTOSIS. - The cell membrane forms a pocket around the material - The membrane folds in, giving the material its own circle of vesicles. - transports its contents to other locations in the cell. - sphere may be a vacuole, which acts as a storage site for the material. uses ATP.
39
A diagram from the textbook that shows the transportation of insulin
also in google class room in chapter 2.3 near the end.
40
Advantages of multicellular organisms
division of labour - specialized cells for specific tasks. size - multicellular organisms are capable of growing larger throughout their life. Transportation is handled by groups of smaller cells. interdependence of cells - the life of the organism does not rely on one cell.
41
apical meristemes
causes primary growth, like the lengthening of the plant. occurs at the tips of shoots and roots. they produce new leaves and flowers.
42
Lateral Meristems
Causes secondary growth (widening of plant) Occurs at the cambium and produces bark on trees.
43
Dermal tissue
The outer layer of cells that covers all herbaceous plants (which is the non wood plants.) in wood plants this is replaced by cork and bark. In the shoot system this tissue is mostly involved in the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Some epidermal cells secrete a waxy layer called the cuticle that helps protect the plant and retain water. In the root system this tissue is responsible for the uptake of water and mineral salts from the soil.
44
Ground tissue
Makes up most the plant and is found under the epidermis. Provides strength and support in the stem. In roots, it is involved in the storage of food and water. In leaves, it is where photosynthesis occurs.
45
Vascular tissue
Responsible for the transport of materials through the plant. These two tissues together are called VASCULAR BUNDLES.
46
Xylem
Xylem tissue: moves water and dissolved minerals from the roots up to the stem to the leaves where these substances are used in photosynthesis. It is made of non-living cell walls forming a straw-like structure.
47
Phloem
Phloem tissue transports sucrose and other dissolved sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant it is made of long cells called sieve tube cells. Sieve tube cells are connected to companion cells which control the activities of the sieve tube cells.
48
Function of the Mesophyll layer.
1. Palisade mesophyll tissue: they are long rectangular cells, responsible for photosynthesis and contains many chloroplasts. 2. Spongy Mesophyll: mainly responsible for gas exchange by diffusion.
49
Functions of the cuticle
It helps protect the plant and retain water/ prevent water loss. >waxy substance that is secreted from the dermal tissue.
50
Plant structure and organization
Cells > group cells became a tissue > group of tissue becomes an organ > group of organs become a system.
51
Process of photosynthesis
Photosynthesis, water from the roots up to, carbon dioxide from the air and energy create oxygen and glucose. simplified: water, carbon dioxide, energy > oxygen glucose.
52
Cellular respiration
Breaks down glucose and forms ATP. Carbon dioxide is released because of this process. Simplified: glucose, oxygen -> co2, h2o and energy.
53
Function of xylem
Xylem tissue: moves water and dissolved minerals from the roots up to the stem to the leaves where these substances are used in photosynthesis. It is made of non-living cell walls forming a straw-like structure.
54
Function of phloem
Phloem tissue: transports sucrose and other dissolved sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant it is made of long cells called sieve tube cells. Sieve tube cells are connected to companion cells which control the activités of the sieve tube cells.
55
Stoma and guard cell
The guard cell instructs the stoma to open or close. Stomas allow air in and out of chambers that connect to the ground tissue to speed up the exchange of gas (co2 and oxygen)
56
Sink and source
Sink : the rest of the plant / the goal - where things are supposed to end up in. Source: leaves / where the things are from.
57
Phototropic responses
Phototropism - plants that grow towards light this is called the phototropism. Positive phototropism means they grow towards the light. Negative phototropism meaning they grow away from light.
58
How does polarity assist in the transport of water in plants? (Cohesion, adhesion and transpiration pull.
Polarity is molecules attracting to the opposite of their charge ( negative / positive) It helps with cohesion, adhesion and the transpiration pull. Helps with cohesion because the positive hydrogens stick to the negative oxygen elements. This is because of polarity. ^ Help is with adhesion, it’s the attraction water moleculed have to other substances, which also happens because of polarity. Which is the same as positive charge attracting to negative ones. (Same as cohesion.) Helps transpiration pull because they use both cohesion and adhesion.
59
Polarity of water
Water moleculed attracted to each other because of the negative and positive charge. Positive hydrogen elements sticking to negative oxygen.
60
Root pressure
It’s the upward force that use extorted force on the water molecules by the vascular tissue. This is where dissolved minerals are pumped into root cells via active transport. Created a hypotonic system inside the root cells. Then water is drawn in via osmosis. This then creates a high pressure in the root cells, lower pressure in the leaves. Fluid moves up the xylem, and the properties of cohesion and adhesion work together to keep water molecules together.
61
Why do plants not need specialized organs for gas exchange. Ex. Why don’t they need lungs.?
They don’t need lungs because they have diffusion, stoma and guard cells, spongy Mesophyll, photosynthesis, lenticels. Diffusion : air moving through cell membranes. Stoma and guard cells : stoma allow air in and out of the organism. Guard cell tell whether the stoma opens or not. Spongy Mesophyll: they make gas exchange more efficient. Lenticels : they allow for gas exchange from parts of a tree trunk.
