Q

1) Step 1 of the Xylem process:

A

Absorption by the Roots into the Xylem:

A
  • is created by the accumulation of water and minerals in the root xylem.

Q

2b) Xylem process: Transpiration Pull

A
  • is created by water evaporation (transpiration) in the leaves.

Q

2c) Xylem process: Cohesion and Adhesion

A

-are due to water properties:

  • Cohesion: is the tendency of water molecules to stick to other water molecules due to hydrogen bonding.
  • Pulls a column of water up the leaves
  • Adhesion; is the tendency of water molecules to stick to certain surface (hydrophilic), due to hydrogen bonding.
  • Prevents xylem sap from falling back (reduces the force of gravity)

Q

What are the two cells that make up the phloem tissue:

A

sieve-tube elements and companion cells

31
Q

The 4 Steps in Sugar Transport (Phloem):

A

Sugar is transported from the sugar source, where sugar is made, to sugar sink, where sugar is used.

32
Q

1) Step one of sugar transport process

A

Sugars produced by the sugar source are transported into the phloem vessel through active transport

33
Q

2) Step one of sugar transport process

A

osmosis causes water into the phloem vessel

  • Increases the pressure inside the vessel
  • dilute high concentration of sugar
  • makes sugar less vicsious
  • makes sugar more movable
34
Q

3) Step one of sugar transport process

A

Pressure and concentration gradients move the phloem sap towards the sugar sink

35
Q

4) Step one of sugar transport process

A

Increasing pressure forces the phloem sap out of the vessel and into the neighboring cells

-water is recycled

36
Q

Where does most gas exchange occur in the cell:

A

Stomata

37
Q

Where is CO2 transported in the leaf and where is O2 transported in the leaf?

Which time of transport?

A

CO2 is transported into the leaf and O2 is transported out of the leaf for photosynthesis.

-Transported through passive diffusion

38
Q

Where does exchange occur in stems.

A

Lenticles: are lense shaped openings in the bark of woody plants that enable gas exchange.

39
Q

What is transpiration?

A

is the loss of water vapour from the leave by diffusion and evaporation.

40
Q

What increases water loss in plants ?

A

Large surface areas, large SA/V ratio and stomata are good for photosynthesis but cause water loss.
-95% of water is lost from plants through stomata.

41
Q

How can water loss be controlled?

A

Water loss can be controlled by guard cells that change the diameter of the stomata by changing shape.

42
Q

Opening guard cells:

A
  • Guard cells gain water
  • turgid
  • opening
43
Q

Closing guard cells:

A
  • guard cells lose water
  • flaccid
  • closing
44
Q

Stimulus to guard cells open:

A
  • moist environments
  • light
  • less carbon dioxide
  • circadiam rhythms
45
Q

Stimulus to guard cells close:

A

-dry environments

46
Q

When are stomata open and when are they closed?

A

Stomata open during day time
Stomata close during night time
Stomata prevent water loss under condition when photosynthesis cannot occur.

47
Q

when does photosynthesis and gas exchange occur:

A

mainly occurs during the day when light and oxygen are present.

48
Q

What is tropism:

A

Is any growth response that results in plant organs toward or away from stimuli

49
Q

Positive tropism:

A

growth towards stimuli

50
Q

Negative tropism:

A

growth away from stimuli

51
Q

What is phototropism?

A

Growth towards or away from light

52
Q

Which scientists conducted the phototropism experiment.

A

Charles and Francis Darwin

53
Q

What was the problem of the Darwin Experiment?

A

what part of plant senses where the light is coming from.

54
Q

What was the conclusion of the Darwin Experiment?

A

The tip of the seedling detects light and sends a signal down to stem to control it.

55
Q

Why does curved growth occur in phototropism?

A

The light produces auxin which elongates the cells on the shaded side faster than the cells on the bright side.

56
Q

What was the result of the Darwin and Darwin Experiment:

A

Tip Removed- No Phototropism

Tip covered by opaque cap- No phototropism

Tip covered by transparent cap- positive phototropism

Curvature covered by opaque shield- positive phototropism

57
Q

What was the problem of Boysen and Jensen experiment?

A

What type of signal controls the stem growth

58
Q

What were the method of the Boysen and Jensen experiment?

A

Tip seperated from the step by different types of barriers

59
Q

What was the result of the Boysen and Jensen experiment?

A

Gelatin (permeable)
– positive phototropism.

  • Mica (impermeable)
    – no phototropism.
60
Q

What was the conclusion of the Boysen and Jensen Experiment?

A

The signal is a mobile chemical because it
passes through the gelatin (permeable barrier), but not
through the mica (impermeable barrier)

61
Q

What was the problem of Frits Went Experiment?

A

What is the chemical signal?

62
Q

Frits Went Experiment Results:

A
  • Centered – grew straight.
  • Off-centered – curved away from the
    side with the agar block.

Agar cube no chemical: No growth

Agar cube with chemical: Growth

Agar cube placed left: Curves right

Agar cube placed right: Curves left

63
Q

Frits Went Conclusion:

A

Auxin (Greek for increase) is the chemical

messenger, hormone, that causes elongation of the cells on the darker side

64
Q

What is Gravitropism?

A

Growth in response to gravity

65
Q

what gravitropism do roots display:

A

Positive

66
Q

What gravitropism do stems display:

A

Negative

67
Q

Stratoliths

A

are organelles
containing dense starch
grains that allow plants to
detect gravity

68
Q

Day and Night• Sleep movements

A

are plants responses to day and
night. These responses follow a biological clock or
circadian rhythm

69
Q

Leaves in the evening

A

Plants lower their leaves in

the evening

70
Q

Leaves in the morning

A

and raise them in the morning.

  • Due to changes in
    turgor pressure at base of
    stem
71
Q

A

growth in

response to water.

72
