Quiz 2

Question 1

amyloplast

Question 2

anthocyanins

Question 3

cell wall

Question 4

chloroplasts

Question 5

chloroplast genome

Answer 5

The circular DNA strand found inside chloroplasts. This is independent from the DNA of the plant itself and is unique to the chloroplast.

Question 6

chromoplast

Answer 6

This is one of the plastids in plant cells. It synthesizes and stores carotenoid pigments in plant cells, giving it a yellow-orange-red color.

Question 7

cyanobacteria

Answer 7

These are microorganisms that can photosynthesize, and often live in the ocean. They are prokaryotic and in domain Bacteria.

Question 8

elaioplasts

Answer 8

This is one of the plastids in plant cells. It stores lipids and is colorless.

Question 9

endosymbiosis

Question 10

endosymbiotic origin

Question 11

etioplast

Question 12

gerontoplasts

Question 13

horizontal gene transfer

Answer 13

the movement of genetic material between two organisms not in a parent-offspring relationship

Question 14

leucoplasts

Answer 14

colorless plastids respoinsible for the storage of proteins, lipids and starch in the roots and seeds

Question 15

microbodies

Answer 15

membrane-bound-organelles found in cytoplasm containing enzymes involved in metabolic processes like detoxification and fatty acid metabolism
