Definition
underneath the epidermis in the leaf. is where photosynthesis takes place
Term
spongy mesophyll
Definition
underneath the palisade parenchyma and is where gas exchange takes place
Term

at tip of shoots and roots, responsible for primary growth. in the apical bud and in the acillary busy.
Term
lateral maristem
Definition
secondary growth(thickening), example:tree trunk. vascular cambium
Term
when put in high water potential
Definition
causes cells to become turgid because of pressure on the inside of the wall
Term

Definition
when in a concentrated solution cells become flaccid and plant is dehydrated
Term
apoplast
Definition
between cells and cell walls, short distance movement. the movement through the xylem
Term
symplast
Definition
short distance movement inside cells (cytoplasm) through plasmodesmata
Term
casparian strip
Definition
on the outside of the stele, a waxy strip that stops water movement. solutes and water can only enter through cell membrane. the sophisticaed pumps allow toxins out and selective ions in.
Term
how water moves through plants
Definition
root pressure and cohesion-tension theory
Term
root pressure
Definition
only works for small amounts over small distances
Term
cohesion-tension theory
Definition
water molecules stick together due to hydrogen bons, water binds to charged cell walls. this leads to a water column with high tensile stringth. this pulls it up the side. with high water pressure inside and the air with low water pressure it leads to a strong miniscus.
Term
transpiration
Definition
the plant losees water through the stomata while trying to get in co2
Term
stomates
Definition
need to be open in order to photosyntiszie
Term
how the stomates open
Definition
using a blue light receptor, this stimulates a proton pump which uses ATP. K+ in through ion channel in response to negaitve charge inside. water is drawn in through osmosis because the concentration is high inside. this causes the pore to open
Term
translocation
Definition
phloem transport, materials can either go up or down, only one way per tube. source to sink
Term
sources
Definition
mature leaves
Term
sinks
Definition
flowers, fruit, roots, apical meristem, newly growing leaves.
Term
movement from source to sink
Definition
1. proton pump drives sucrose into companion cell and then into the phloem
2. water moves passively from xylem into phloem by osmosis
3. causes high turgor - sugar and water mpove down in bulk flow
4. sugars unloaded at sink (uses energy)
5. water goes into xylem with water gradient
Term

Term
Jean Baptise Van Helmont
Definition
put a 5lb willow in 200 lbs of dirt and discovered that plant material must come from water

Term
gravitropism
Definition
movement in response to gravity
Term
thigmotropism
Definition
in response to touch
Term
photoperiodism
Definition
how plants sense the seasons. there are critical night lengths. if you were to flash a minute of light during the night the plant woulf flower. red light was used to interrrupt and far right light would cancel that signal out. what the plant did depended on the last flash of light
Term
red/far red ratio
Definition
the ratio tells the plant how much shade it is getting. when the plant gets a higher ratio of far red, stimulates auxin and causes the plant to beging to elongate in order to get to the sunlight.
Term
morgan and smith expieriment
Definition
vary amount of far red. all get normal amount of light but varied additional amount of far red light. tested plants that were used to shad and those that were used to light
Term
Pr
Definition
if you hit Pr with sunlight it changes to PFR which recognizes far red light and causes germination
Term
PFR
Definition
if far red light hits PFR, changes to PR which stops germination and causes elongation
Term
blue light receptor
Definition
NPH1 is embedded in the cell membrane. when blue light is absorbed it triggers phosphorolation
Term
briggs expieriment
Definition
screen arabidopisis mutants that do not bend towards blue light
Term
statolith hypothiss
Definition
starch storing organelles very dense and drop to bottom of cell with grvity. this physically pushes the receptor asspciated with the amyop;asts which tell the plant which way is up and down
Term
gravitational pressure hypothesis
Definition
rather than amyloplast, main gravity sensor is a receptor protein that sense the weight of the entire cell. the protein is located in between the cell membrane and the extracell matric.
Term
Peter Boysen Jensen
Definition
cut off tip and put it on agar block - still bends. put non-permieable mica strip which caused the tip to not bend. decided that a water-solube chemical that diffuses through whoot
Term
fritz went
Definition
put shoot tip on agar block. then put block on shoot - did not bend. piut agar on side - bends. bending occurs because chlls on one side enlongation. asymmetric distribution of auxin
Term
auxin
Definition
produced in apical maristem, uses polar transport. auxin is carried out along concentration gradient. this causes apical dominance - continual auxin transport suppresses lateral bud growth and accumulation of auxin tells the plant about gravity.
Term
acid-growth hypohtesis
Definition
auxin stimulates proton pump. water moves inward because of K+ inside, induces root formation, promotes seconddary meristems,
Term
other roles of auxin
Definition
produced by seed to stimulate fruit development, can be used as weed killer,
Term
cytokinins
Definition
200+ natural and synthetic. examples: kinetin, and zeatin.
Term
Kinetin
Definition
cytokinin. alone it doesn't have any effect but with auxin causes rapid cell division. with a low auxin ratio, causes the shoots to grow, with high it causes roots to grow
Term
Gibberellins
Definition
disovered by E. Kurosawa. 70+ kinds, promotes seed germination, bud break, root growth and differentation. stem elongration:bolting.
Term

Definition
discovered by F.T. Addicott. "inhibitory hormone" - causes seed dormancy . stress response including the closing of stomata.
Term

Term
female gametophyte
Definition
ovule
Term
megaspore
Definition
made when ovule goes through meiosis to form 1N nuclei - 3 migrate to the bottom and disinigrate 1 turns into the megaspore. the megaspore goes through mitosis and migrates to different parts. cell membranes form ebryo sac (megagametophyte) and 2 polar nuclei
Term
male gametophyte
Definition
in anther the pollen mother cell (2n - microsporocyte) goes through meiosis and becomes 4 microspores (1n). each one of these becomes a pollen grain (microgametophyte). the pollen grain is made up of 2 cells - generative cell and tube cell. the tube cell makes the pollen tube which goes down in to the ovary and the generative cell has two sperm cells that move down into the ovary through the pollen tube.
Term
double fertilization
Definition
pollen tube grows down to ebryo sac. one of the two sperm cells combines with the egg, the other goes with the polar nuclei and forms the endosperm (3n)
