how many pyruvate molecules are produced from 1 glucose
2
if starting with 1 glucose, how many phosphates are added to sugar compounds in glycolysis
4
which is the correct net output of glycolysis, when starting with 1 glucose
2 pyruvates, 2 atp, 2 nadh, 2 h20
what are the waste products of cellular respiration
co2 and h20
in glycolysis, what is glucose broken down into
pyruvate
resource aquisition
processes where plants obtain necessary resources to sustain themselves
plant responses to external signals
mechanical, gravity, time
plant responses to internal signals
hormones
thigmotropism
response of plant to touch
plant responses to stress signals examples
drought, flooding, heat, cold, salt, mineral deficiency
adaptions of leaves to sunlight
phyllotaxy, resource acquisition and size, leaf orientations
phyllotaxy
arrangment of leaves around stems
routes of transport in plant
apoplastic, symplastic, transmembrane
short distance transport examples
active transport, diffuion, osmosis
long distance transport examples
bulk flow
phloem transport
transports sugar produced during photosynthesis from source to sink
pressure flow hypothesis in phloem transport
difference in pressure between source and sink due to water potiential moves the transport
xylem transport
transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to leaves
cohesion and adhesion hypothesis in xylem transport
h20 molecules stick to eachother and stick to walls of xylem vessles creating a column
plant breeding
changing traits of plants to produce desired charachteristics
alternation of generation in plants
plants alternate between sporophyte and gametophyte life stages
how much daughter cells does meiosis produce
4
what is the purpose of meiosis
sexual reproduction
how much daughter cells does mitosis produce
