- 3. Chloroplasts
-
What does the eukaryotic cell cycle consist of?
Consists of the main stages: Interphase/ Mitosis
-
What is Interphase?
- During cell growth and DNA Replication
- Chromosomes uncoiled (chromatin), cell carries out normal activities, but prior to cell division, chromosomes one replicated
-
What is mitosis?
Cell Division
-
What are the role of the chromosomes?
- To carry heredity instructions to tell the cells what to do
- Organisms genetic material associated with protein
-
What is the chromosomes number for a normal human cell?
46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
-
What is anaphase?
- Chromosome (chromotids sisters) are separated
- Separated from their center
- They move to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers moving there
-
What is cytokinesis?
Division of cytoplasm
-
What is an enzyme?
- Protein that acts like a catalyst
- An organic catalyst, usually a protein
-
What is specificity?
- The enzyme is specific for 1 particular reaction, it will not speed up any other reaction
-
What is Active site??
- Location on enzyme when substrate binds
- A location on an enzyme molecule when the reactants come together and react
-
What is the rate of reaction?
- Enzymes increase the rate of reactions
- Make the process speed up
-
What is the amount of activation energy??
Activation energy (energy required for a reaction) is lowered when any catalyst is used
-
What is the importance of ATP?
- To store and release energy, to work
- =energy molecule, required for all cellular process
-
What are 3 good things about enzymes?
- 1. Can be reused
- 2. Specificity
- 3. Speed up reactions
-
What formula is this for?
Photosynthesis
-
Is photosynthesis considered an exergonic or endergonic process?
endergonic reaction
-
What is the location and role of chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is a pigment that traps light energy
-
What is light independent reactions or carbon fixation?
- Carbon dioxide helps to form glucose (Food and sugars) for the plant
- ATP provides energy to drive these reactions, CO2 is incorporated with precursors already to form sugars. NADPH releases the hydrogen captured in the light reactions to be incorporated into sugar
-
What is coenzyme NADP?
carries hydrogens between light dependent and light independent reactions
-
What is this formula for?
cellular respiration
-
What are two main stages in cellular respiration?
- 1. Glycolysis-located in the cytoplasm broken down to pyruvate and 2 ATP molecules are made
- 2. The electron transport system located in the mitochondria, where the most ATP is made
-
Where is the most ATP made?
In the mitochondria
-
Where is the cellular location of aerobic reactions?
In the Mitochondrian
-
How does fermentation differ in 4 ways?
- 1. Occurs when no oxygen is available
- 2. Allows glycolysis to keep operating
- 3. Muscle cells, some bacteria and some fungi under go fermentation
- 4. Glycolysis part of fermentation
-
What is Alcoholic fermentation?
- Occurs when no oxygen is available
- A 2 carbon alcohol and CO2
- Anerobic
-
What is lactic Acid fermentation?
- Occurs when no oxygen is available
- A 3 carbon lactic acid
- Anaerobic
-
What are the four reason why plants are crucial to our existence?
- 1. Food- almost everything we eat comes from plants
- 2. Oxygen- oxygen we breathe is derived from photosynthesis
- 3. Medicines- many are extracted from plants
- 4. Wood- used for concentration, furniture, firewood, and other uses
-
What is sporophyte?
involves some individuals of any kind of plant living an asexual phase, uses spores
-
What is vascular?
A plant with conductive tissue, has inner tubes to transport materials
-
What is phloem?
conducts food (sugars) generally from the leaves to the other parts of the plant
-
What are the three plant tissue systems?
- 1. Dernal Tirssue
- 2. General Tissue
- 3. Vascular Tissue
-
What is dernal tissue?
like skin for protection
-
What is ground tissue?
much of the interior of plant organs, for food making, storage support
-
What is vascular tissue?
Like pipes, carry water, minerals, sugary food
-
What are the two root systems?
-
What is minocot?
- Fibrous root system
- No main roots
-
What is dicot?
- Tap root system
- One main root
-
What are the role of root hairs?
- Perform the task of absorbing water and minerals for the plant
- Tiny epidermal (skin) extenstions
- Located on young growing roots
-
What are the 4 functions of the stems?
- 1. Support the leaves and flowers
- 2. Transport material's between root and leaves
- 3. (in some) produce food (as in cacti)
- 4. Store substances (ex. water storage in cacti, sugar storage in potatoes)
-
What is the general function of leaves?
Photosynthesis or food manufacture (most important)
-
What is stomata?
Tiny holes in leaf to allow for gases and water vapor exchange with outside
-
What is Mesophyll?
Made of cells that carry on photosynthesis
-
What is Sepal?
- Often green
- Protects inner part of the flower
-
What is a seed?
a reproductive structure that contains an embryonic plant and stored food, protected by the fruit
-
What is dispersal?
By wind and animals
-
What are the two primary ways seeds are dispersed?
-
What is secondary growth?
growth outward, in diameter on roots and stems
-
What is the relationship of auxins to growth?
growth hormones making plant growth either slower or faster
-
What is tropism?
A plant growth movement toward something, like light
