Term
what % of plants have mycorhizzae?
Definition
80%
Term
what type of mycorhizzae commonly seen in Pines and Beeches?
Definition
Ectomycorhizzae
Term
where does the Hartig Net extend?
Definition
into the apoplastic spaces between cells
Term
what do mycorhizzae do for plants?
Definition
increased uptake of phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium
Term
what do mycorhizzae get from the plant?
Definition
carbohydrates, sugars from root
Term
how much increased growth in pines is attributed to ectomycorhizzae?
Definition
30-150%
Term
what zone is expanded when mycorhizzae are present on roots?
Definition
the nutrient depletion zone
Term
what type of mycorhizzae is found in every angiosperm family and some gymnosperms but not in pines?
Definition
endomycorhizzae
Term
what is the most common type of endomycorhizzae?
Definition
vessicular arbuscular mycorhizzae (VAM)
Term
what are arbuscles?
Definition
highly branched tree-like structures on VAM endomycorhizzae
Term
when might mycorhizzae be a burden on a plant?
Definition
if phosphorus is not deficient already in the soil
Term
where are casparian strips found?
Definition
endodermis of roots
Term
what is the difference between apoplastic and symplastic routes of transport?
Definition
apoplastic - between cells
symplastic - thru cell membranes or thru plasmodesmata
Term
how do caspatian strips force symplastic transport?
Definition
4 of 6 cell walls have suberin that blocks water. water forced through in one direction
Term
what are passage cells?
Definition
periodic cells in endodermis that do not have casparian strips. allow apoplastic transport into vasc.tissue
Term
what are the three types of proteins?
Definition
1.catalytic (enzymes)
2.channel proteins/solute channels/permeases
3.carrier proteins/proteinaceous carriers
Term
what is an example of an ion pump? what kind of protein?
Definition
ATPase
catalytic protein
Term
what ions travel by specific permeases in plant cells?
Definition
K+, Cl-, Ca2+
Term
how do ions travel across proteinaceous carriers?
Definition
combine with solute, change evoked in protein that carriers solute to other side, protein returns to normal
Term
what is an example of a compound transported by carrier proteins in plants?
Definition
sucrose
Term
what is associated with a glycoprotein that allows it to recognize certain molecules?
Definition
a polysaccharide group
Term
what term describes molecules with a hydrophobic and hydrophilic region?
Definition
ampipathic
Term
what are two types of passive transport?
Definition
1. simple diffusion
2. facilitated diffusion
Term
what proteins operate by passive transport?
Definition
carrier proteins
channel proteins
Term
what channels does water use to cross membrane during diffusion?
Definition
aquaporins
Term
what types of molecules pass more easily thru the plasma membrane?
Definition
small molecules (H20, N2, O2, CO2)
hydrophobic, non-polar, lipid soluble molecules
Term
what is more hydrophobic, a protonated or non-protonated carboxyl??
Definition
protonated
Term
what is more likely to pass a cell membrane, a protonated or non-protonated carboxyl?
Definition
protonated - more hydrophobic
Term
how does pH affect membrane permeability?
Definition
protonated or non-protonated forms of molecules may be more or less likely ot pass
Term
does IAA pass thru membranes better at slightly high or slightly low pH?
Definition
low
Term
what happens to IAA in very acidic environments?
Definition
breaks down
Term
how do hydrophillic molecules pass thru membranes?
Definition
transport proteins
Term
why is it hard for hydrophillic molecules to pass thru membrane?
Definition
bind with water molecules forming large hydration spheres. - large molecules
Term
what is an example of an ion that forms a hydration sphere?
Definition
Na+
Term
what 2 factors determine the rate of movement across a membrane for a non-charged particle?
Definition
permeability coefficient
chemical potential
Term
what determines the chemical potential of a particle?
Definition
the relative concentrations of the particle on either side of a membrane
Term
what factors determine the rate of movement across a membrane for a charged particle?
Definition
permeability coefficient
chemical potential
electrical potential
Term
what is the charge of the cytosol?
Definition
negative
Term
what is the diff. in electrical potential across the plasma membrane?
Definition
100-150 mV
Term
what ions tend to be in the cell wall region?
Definition
positive ions (Na+, H+, Ca2+)
Term
why is the cytosol negatively charged?
Definition
100X more H+ in cell wall region than in cytosol b/c of ATPase pumps
Term
what is the pH of the cytosol? vacuole? cell wall region?
Definition
cytosol - 7
vacuole and cell wall - 5
Term
how does symport transportaton work?
Definition
H+ pumped out of cytosol, binds with molecule, negative charge in cytosol pulls bound particle back through
Term
what is an example of symport?
Definition
sucrose-proton cotransport
Term
what moves passively in sucrose - proton cotransport? actively?
Definition
passive - H+ into cytosol
active - sucrose into cytosol
Term
what 2 transportation differentials are created are caused by ATPases?
Definition
pH and electrical charge
Term
what describes the active transport of cations across the cell wall counter to the H+ moving out?
Definition
antiport
