Consist of 4 distinct phases:

83
G1, S phase, G2 phase are collectively known
as
interphase
84
the shortest of the stages and
composed of 2 tightly-related processes:
karyokinesis and cytokinesis
Mitosis
85
division of nucleus
Karyokinesis
86
division of cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
87
cells are in a state of quiescence, they are temporarily resting or may not divide at all.
GO stage
88
A type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical
to itself
Mitosis
89
The Goal of Mitosis
To make sure that each daughter cell gets a
perfect, full set of chromosomes
90
Phases of Mitosis
PMAT
91
Chromatin materials become tightlycoiled as it condense, condensed chromosomes appear as 2 sister chromatids united along the centromere. Mitotic spindle in cytoplasm
starts to form. What phase is this?
Prophase
92
The centromeres of all chromosomes are aligned with one another and are assembled at the equator of the cell. The centromeres of the sister chromatids face the opposite poles of the cell. The spindle fibers are very abundant during this stage. This phase is?
Metaphase
93
Starts when the paired centromeres of each
chromosomes separate. They start to move
away from each other. Each sister chromatids is now considered a full-fledged
chromosome. By the end of this phase, the two poles of the cell now have an equal and complete set of chromosomes
Anaphase
94
The daughter nuclei start to form at the
two poles of the cell. Karyokinesis is now complete. This is followed by cytokinesis. This is the last part of mitosis
Telophase
95
The net movement of ions or solute molecules from a region of higher
concentration to a region of lower
concentration, down a concentration
gradient
Diffusion
96
The transition of concentration in diffusion from higher concentration to lower concentration continues to move until?
They are evenly spread
97
Importance of Diffusion
Oxygen is supplied to Amoeba by diffusion. Diffusion enables metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide to be excreted out.
Diffusion in the human body is necessary for the absorption of digested nutrients, gas exchange, the propagation of nerve impulses, the movement of hormones and other metabolites towards their target organ and for nearly every event in embryonic development.
98
Factors which Affect the Rate of Diffusion
1. Temperature
2. SIZE OF PARTICLES
3. THICKNESS OF THE BARRIER
4. CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
5. SURFACE AREA
99

Osmosis
100
(ΨS)
OSMOTIC POTENTIAL.
101
A MEASURE OF THE POTENTIAL OF WATER
TO MOVE FROM ONE CELL TO ANOTHER AS
INFLUENCED BY SOLUTE CONCENTRATIONS
OSMOTIC POTENTIAL (ΨS)
102
A state when a cell is firm or turgid due
to water entering the cell, causing it to swell
Turgor
103
The outward pressure which the cell sap
exerts against the inside wall of the cell
Turgor pressure
104
It is a Turgor pressure that develops against the cell walls as a result of water entering the vacuole of the cell
PRESSURE POTENTIAL
105
IS DENOTED BY THE GREEK
LETTER Ψ (PSI) AND IS
EXPRESSED IN UNITS OF
PRESSURE CALLED
MEGAPASCALS (MPA).
WATER POTENTIAL
106
MEASURE OF THE POTENTIAL
ENERGY IN WATER
WATER POTENTIAL
107
IMPORTANCE OF TURGOR IN PLANTS
1. CHANGES IN TURGOR OF THE GUARD CELL CAUSES THE OPENING OF THE STOMATA
2. CHANGES IN TURGOR OF THE PULVINUS (SMALL SWELLING AT THE BASE OF
THE LEAFLETS) CAUSES THE FOLDING OF LEAFLETS IN THE MIMOSA
108
LOSS OF WATER THROUGH OSMOSIS WHICH IS ACCOMPANIED BY THE SHRINKAGE OF PROTOPLASM AWAY FROM THE CELL WALL
PLASMOLYSIS
109
FERTILIZER - GOOD OR BAD?
* SOIL SOLUTION BECOMES VERY CONCENTRATED
* WATER MOVES OUT OF ROOT
* PLANT WILL WILT
* SUFFICIENT WATER MUST BE ADDED TO ENSURE PLANT
SURVIVAL
110
An energy consuming process by which substances are transported from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration against a concentration gradient.
Active Transport
111
Part of the plant axis that is typically non green and found beneath the surface of
the soil
Root
112
- Primary function is the absorption of
water and minerals from the soil.
- Secondary functions: storage, anchor
Root
113
Continuation of the plant’s axis
typically found above the soil surface. Involved in the production and support
of leaves
Stem
114
Functions mainly in conducting water
and minerals from the root to the other
parts of the plant and in conducting
food materials from the leaves to the
rest of the plant
Stem
115
- An outgrowth of the stem, is usually flat and thin, needle-like, or scale-like.
- It is green or, if it some other color (such as red) the chlorophyll is merely masked by an abundance of accessory pigments
- Its function is closely correlated with the presence of chlorophyll
- Function also as storage of food materials
Leaf
116
- Those parts of the plant that are
concerned with sexual reproduction
and the production of seeds
- In more complex vascular plants,
these are flowers and cones, which
are basically continuation of the
stem with specialized structures
comparable to modified leaves and
branch systems.
Sexual Reproductive Structures
117
Once the seed has germinated, the growth and development are influence by both
environment and inherited characteristics
118
depend upon the type of plants
Life Span
119
grow for one season only, from germination
to producing their seeds and then die ( e.g., beans, some grasses)
Annuals
120
grow vegetatively during the first season
and do not produce seeds until the second year, after which they die ( e. g., lettuce, carrot, cabbage)
Biennials
121
grow for several to very many years,
producing a new crop of seeds each year after the first few years (e.g., trees, shrubs
Perennials
122
Group of cells that perform essentially the same functions and are commonly of similar
structure.They are organized into a functional and structural unit.
Tissues
123
Tissues are subdivided into
meristematic and permanent types
124
2 major types of plant
tissues based on origin
1. Meristematic or embryonic tissues
2. Permanent tissues
125
In such tissues, cells are actively dividing and new cells are continually being produced. No differentiation yet of cells, one cell being much the same as any other cell of the tissue
Meristematic Tissue
126
Meristematic tissues consists of: (3)
1. Apical meristems (shoots and roots)
2. Lateral meristem (vascular and cork)
3. Intercalary meristem
127
Apical meristems
Consist of cells that are basically isodiametric (i.e., having equal diameters), usually appearing cubical and are located at the tips
of both roots and stems.
128
Three primary meristems develop
from each apical meristem:
protoderm,
ground meristem,
procambium.
129
- Meristems that increase the girth or diameter of the plant.
- They are found along the sides of some roots and stems
Lateral Meristem
130
2 types of Lateral Meristem are usually present in dicot plants
vascular cambium and cork cambium
131
Located as a thin cylindrical sheath between the bark and the wood.
Vascular Cambium
132
Vascular Meristem consists of two types of thin-walled, highly vacuolated cells
1. fusiform initials - vertically elongated cells with tapering ends
2. Ray initials – nearly isodiametric, somewhat horizontally elongated, relatively
small cells
133
A cambium that develops in many plants
Cork Cambium
134
A tissue at the base of each leaf
in monocotyledon plants especially
the grasses. The rapid elongation of
such plants as wheat, barley and
grasses is in large part caused by
these meristems
Intercalary Meristems
135
Short lived meristem tissue that will eventually transformed into permanent tissues
Intercalary Meristems
136
2 Permanent tissues based on the type
of cells present
1. Simple permanent tissues – mostly composed of only one kind of cell.
- these cells are uniform in function and
structure
2. Complex permanent tissues – composed of several types of cells working together to perform a specific function
