Q

What are the two transmembrane pathways roots use to uptake water through the cells in the cortex (to get the water to the xylem). Explain them

A

The symplast and apoplast routes combine to form the transmembrane pathway.

Apoplast pathway - water moves through the spaces between the cells and in the cells walls themselves.

A

phellem = cork
phellogen = cork cambium
phelloderm = parenchyma like tissue

54
Q

What forms the cork cambium and what does it produce

A

Some secondary phloem cells form a cork cambium (phellogen) which produces
-cork towards the outside (phellem)
-phelloderm, towards the inside (parenchyma like tissue)

55
Q

How does a shoot become a cane? Explain the process

A

The periderm, along with the outermost layers of secondary phloem die, turn brown and lignify

56
Q

Explain how dead bark rhytidome is sloughed off in spring after dormancy

A

The vascular cambium resumes function and a new
phellogen (cork cambium) is formed.

The new phellogen isolates most of the secondary phloem produced in the previous season.

The dead phloem + old periderm is sloughed off as strips of dead bark rhytidome.

57
Q

Explain what phellogen is and what forms to its inside and outside

A

Phellogen = cork cambium:
a dividing zone of cells that forms phellem to the outside and phelloderm to the inside

sclerified cell walls.

Controls the flow of certain substances, allows them to flow in only one direction, and may aid in directing water and nutrients into the leaves

60
Q

How does xylem and phloem move through the plant?

A

Xylem - root pressure or tension pull (negative pressure) osmosis in roots to get to xylem vessels

Phloem - high turgor pressure (source to sink) (positive pressure), translocation

61
Q

A

AKA lateral buds: can brake during the current
season and give lateral shoots.

-It containes three separated buds.
-Gives rise to 8-10 leaf primordia and their prompt buds, inflorescence primordia, and several tendril primordia before entering dormancy.

63
Q

Describe latent buds

A

Latent buds remain dormant for several years.

64
Q

sunlight interception.

73
Q

How many vascular budles does the petiol have

A

12-14 vascular bundles

74
Q

Explain what the petiol abscission layer is and what hormone causes it

A

Abscission is the dropping of the lamina and petiol from the stem in autumn.

The hormone auxin produced in the lamina prevents abscission throughout the growing season.

In autumn, a decrease in production of auxin stimulates a breakdown in the abscission zone causing the petiol to fall.

75
Q

Where is the abscission layer in the petiol

A

one on each end of the petiol

76
Q

What is the purpose of the lamina

A

Wide to maximize light absorption
Thin to maximize gas exchange
Vulnerably to overheating and dehydration

79
Q

What are leaf hydatodes

A

The tracheids of terminal veins (water pores that may function as overflow valves that can rid the leaves of excess water)

80
Q

What is leaf guttation, when does it happen happen, and how

A

-secretion of droplets of water from leaf pores
-during warm nights with high humidity
-root pressure may force water up the vine.

81
Q

Transpiration
Respiration
Photosynthesis

A

Transpiration = soil H2O -> air (think sweating) (day and night)

adaxial is the upper side of the leaf
abaxial is the under side of the leaf
(think B is for back of leaf)

84
Q

What are the 5 main functions of the leaf cuticle and epidermis

A
  • keeps the leaves clean by reducing adhesion of water and particles,
  • reduces nutrient leaching from the leaves.
  • forms the first barrier to invading pathogens.

104
Q

105
Q

Turgor pressure

A

Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall

  • water moving from the low concentration solute outside the cell into the cell’s vacuole.

Low turgor = dehydration (first sign)

106
Q

What happens with the flow of xylem and phloem into the berry after veraison

A

there is a shift from xylem flowing into the berry to phloem flowing for sugar accumulation

107
Q

Is the sugar content of a sink high or low, and how does that affect the movement of the source

A

the sink has low sugar concentration, causing the flow of the source to move towards it

108
Q

As the source is on the way to the sink, what happens to its solute concentration

A

it is lowered as parenchyma cells use some sugars as it passes through them towards the sink

109
Q

In what directions do xylem and phloem move

A

xylem: up only (transpirational pull and root pressure)
phloem: up and down (towards sink)

110
Q

What does the berry callus do and cause

A

it does not keep sugars in it, so the berry continues to be a sink

phloem typically moves through the symplast, but due to callus scars at the berry connection to pedicel, the phloem cannot enter so it moves through the apoplast

111
Q

Explain how sugar source from leaves moves to sink

A

At the leaf source, sugar molecules are moved into the phloem cells (sieve elements) through active diffusion transport. Water follows the sugar molecules into the sieve elements through osmosis (since water passively diffuses into regions of higher solute concentration).

112
Q

Active versus passive transport

A

In Active diffusion transport the molecules are moved across the cell membrane, pumping against the concentration gradient, using ATP (energy).

In Passive diffusion transport, the molecules are moved within and across the cell membrane and thus transporting it through the concentration gradient, without using ATP (energy).

113
Q

What is turgor

A

Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall.

Turgor makes plant tissue rigid.

Loss of turgor (from the loss of water) causes wilting

114
Q

How does xylem and phloem move through the plant, actively or passively

A

Xylem: passive; no energy required. Transpiration from leaves, combined with cohesion and tension of water in the vessel elements and tracheids (sometimes but rarely active)

Phloem: active; energy required. Sucrose from source cells into phloem sieve tube elements

115
Q

Diffusion versus Osmosis
-active or passive transport?
-concentration movement direction?
-what moves?

A

Diffusion: Active or passive transport
High SOLUTE concentration to low SOLUTE concentration
Movement of solute and solvent

Osmosis: passive transport
High SOLVENT concentration to low SOLVENT concentration
Movement of solvent only

Solvent = dissolver
Solute = what’s being dissolved
