Q

what things are true about the cell membrane?

A

it is comprised of a lipid-lipid bylayer, it has both hydrophobic and hyrophilic regions, enzymes can be embedded completely through it , it can maintain ioic (like H+ or proton gradient)

25
meristems are
Undifferentiated and rapidly dividing cells
26
How does water move through a plant
Generally under tension
27
The wave nature of light means
As Wavelength increases, Frequency decreases
28
The energy in a photon of lige
Increases as frequency increases and Decreases as frequency decreases
29
Plants appear green because
They dont absorb green light
30
Which of the following is true about light?
Light has wave properties, light has particle properties and blue light is shorter wavelenth than red light
31
What does the light reaction do?
Splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.
32
What does the dark reaction do
uses the enzyme rubisco
33
What does the dark reaction result in?
in Carbohydrate production
34
what is a chemical that blocks the light reaction?
Atrazine
35
What does Atp production require?
Atp enzyme, Aproton (h+), ELCTRON TRANSPORT
36
Which of the following occurs during the light reaction?
Splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen, Production of NADPH reducing power., movement of protons across the membrane
37
Why are C3 and C4 plants called this?
The number of carbons in the molecules in which C02 is first fixed
38
Which plants utilize Rubisco during phosynthesis?
All plants
39
what does the dark reaction consume?
Nadph and aTP
40
which plants open their stomates only during the dark?
CAM Plants
41
C4 plants have higher carbon fixation efficiency than C3 plants because?
They minimize the amount of oxygen near Rubisco
42
What is a typical expample of Cam plants?
Succulents such as cacti
43
C3 plants are less efficent at photosynthesis than C4 plants because
Rubisco Recognizes 02 as well as C02
44
What ?is the most abundant protien on the planet
Rubisco
45
what provides reducing power?
NADPH
46
Which soil horizon is the top zone and usually has the most organic matter?
Horizon A
47
What soil horizon is the parent material of the soild
Horizon C
48
What are soils useful for?
Environmental filter for water, store plant available water, Store nutrients for plants, Provide an engineering base for strctures.
49
Are the depths of the a and c horizons the same depth in any soil?
False (no)
50
Which of the folowhat are the three main types of soil water?
Microscopic, Capillary gravitational
51
After gravitational water has drained from a soil, the soild is at
Field Capacity
52
What are the nutrients that a plant requires most of called?
Macronutrients
53
What are the nutrients that a plant requires least of called?
Micronutrients
54
how do plants recieve their most essential nutrients
air, water, c02
55
what nutrient is most limiting in plant growth
Nitrogen
56
Large pores (macro pores ) in the soild hold water better than small pores (true or false)
False
57
The water in macro pores is called what?
Gravitational
58
what are the pores that retain most planet available water?
Capillary pores
59
Water that is in the smalles pores and held very tightly to the surface of the soil is called?
Plant unavailable water
60
Current porduction of ammonium nitrate fertilizer requires large amounts of fossil fuel energy (ture or false)
True
61
What color are living nitrogen fixing nodules?
