At the end of ________, the nuclear membrane dissolves away.

New cards
38

New cards
43

G1 checkpoint

In the cell cycle, this checkpoint checks internal and external conditions. These conditions are:

  • Size, is it big enough to divide?

  • Nutrients, is there enough energy to divide?

  • Molecular signals, any positive cues from neighbors

  • DNA integrity, is any DNA damaged?

If all checks out the cells will enter the S phase and will be irreversibly committed to division. If not continued it will stay in a resting state called G0

New cards
44

G2 checkpoint

in the cell cycle, This checkpoint checks the:

  • DNA replication, was all the DNA completely copied during S phase?

If there is any damage the cell will pause at the ____ checkpoint to allow repairs.

New cards
45

Spindle checkpoint

In the cell cycle, this checkpoints checks the cell and examines whether all the sister chromatids are correctly attached to the spindle microtubules.

This checkpoint does not scan the metaphase plate to confirm all chromosomes are there. It actually looks for “straggler” chromosomes. If one is found the cell will pause mitosis allowing the _______ to capture the stray chromosome.

New cards
46

New cards
51

Cell specialization

New cards
52

Cell differentiation

A stage of development of a living organisms during which specialized cells forms

New cards
53

Meristematic cells

Responsible for growth. These are undifferentiated cells that can form specialized cells in plants

New cards
54

Dermal tissue

Covers the outside of a plant in a single layer of cells called the epidermis.

New cards
55

Epidermis

  • Critical for exchange of gases

  • Guard cells- control the open and close of stomata

  • These cells secrete a waxy substance called cuticle.

New cards
56

Cuticle

A waxy substance that coats, waterproofs, and protects the above-ground parts of plants. _______ helps prevent water loss, abrasions, infections, and damage from toxins.

New cards
57

Ground tissue

Makes up much of the interior of a plant and carries out basic metabolic functions. _____ ____ in stems provides support and may store food or water. ____________ in roots may also store food.

New cards
58

Vascular Tissue

Runs through the ground tissue inside a plant. The transport of water and dissolved substances inside the plant

New cards
59

Xylem

Tissue that takes care of moving water and minerals from the roots to other plant parts, including leaves, where these materials are needed for photosynthesis. Is hollow to allow for quick transport - Fortified with lignin

New cards
60

Phloem

Tissue that moves the sugars produced by photosynthesis to other plant parts. Is made up of vertically stacked tubes, cell walls are porous allowing for exchange of materials.

New cards
61

Leaf

#1 job is photosynthesis and to store sugar in the form of starch

New cards
62

Upper leaf

Epidermis secretes a waxy cuticle (protects leaf) , stops water evaporation

New cards
63

Mesophyll (middle leaf)

Palisade tissue cells perform photosynthesis, active (lots of mitochondria)

  • Contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis

  • contain the pigment chlorophyll

  • contain disks called thylakoids (in grana) which absorbs light energy which is used to produce glucose

  • glucose is a carbohydrate used by both plants and animals for energy

New cards
64

Parenchyma

loosely organized for spaces where gas may be exchanged

New cards
65

Lower leaf

Epidermis -

  • critical for exchange of gases

  • Guard cells- control the open and close of stomata

New cards
66

Stem

Two main functions

  • support and transportation (water and nutrients)

  • Has Xylem and Phloem within

New cards
67

Roots

  • anchor plant and take up water

  • ____ hairs are the main site for water and mineral absorption

  • can store sugar (eg. beets)

  • pericycle- layer of tissue that surrounds xylem and phloem and gives rise to branch _____

New cards
68

Flower

  • reproductive organ

  • different parts of the ______are specialized leaves that produce pollen (sperm), and eggs

  • produces seeds which are embedded in fruits

  • Pollination: facilitated by wind & animals

New cards
69

Root system

Consists of all the _____ that lie below the surface. As well as responsible for taking in water and minerals from the soil. Constantly growing to keep up the pace with plants demand for more nutrients as it also grows

New cards
70

Shoot system

Everything else (organs) above the ground for a plant. It is responsible for supporting the plant, performing photosynthesis, transporting water, nutrients and sugars

New cards
71

Effect of root pressure on water movement

  • As root cells bring minerals into the xylem , the mineral concentration in the xylem increases.

  • The high concentration of minerals increases the tendency of water to diffuse (osmosis) into the root xylem

  • Root pressure , transpiration and some unique properties of water molecules force sap up the tree

New cards
72

Transpiration

  1. Water from the soil enters the xylem in the roots; tension in the water column extends from the leaves to the roots

  2. The water column is held together by cohesion; adhesion keeps the water column in place

  3. ______________ ( evaporation) of water from the leaves creates tension that pulls on the water column in the place

New cards
73

Transpiration is controlled by

  • The amount of water vapor in the leaves

  • When the amount of water vapor is large, the guard cells open stomata and water vapor moves out of the leaves

  • If the amount of water vapor is small, the guard cells relax and the stomata is closed

New cards
74

Glucose Transport

  • Once photosynthesis has occurred, glucose will either be used or is converted into sucrose and other carbohydrates

  • Sucrose that makes its way to the roots is usually chemically changed to starch

  • Starch is not soluble in water, so must be first converted to sucrose, which then dissolves in water and is transported again as sap

  • In spring, trees need to nourish the many buds

  • The sap that flows upward from the roots through phloem contains large amounts of sucrose and moves to where it is needed

  • Once the leaves have grown they can then make their own glucose through photosynthesis

  • Extra glucose produced during the summer and fall is transport to other plant tissue or stored in the roots as starch (and the whole process repeated)
