Document Summary

1 what are the main criteria that allow plants to be distinguished from other living organisms? (1) (2) (3) Plants cool their surroundings: water they absorb during the day- 90% is transpired to the atmosphere. Plants are composed of many cells and tissues (they are made up of millions of cells) A plant cell is unique: only a plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplast and vacuole. The plant cell has a different shape because it has a cell wall that keeps it rigid and stiff. The reason why the plant cell looks swollen is because it has a vacuole. Plants are unicellular and make food through a process called photosynthesis. Plants have evolved to live in low nutrient environments. Plants are diverse: for 500 years plants have evolved. Plants are multicellular: different cells can have various functions, but they must integrate their activities. Plants are photosynthetic: plants and other organisms can convert solar energy to chemical energy.

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs specific wavelengths of light, and the absorption of that light leads to the passage of electrons to a higher energy state, where chemical energy can then be harvested from them. You would expect that a plant exposed to which color of light would produce the most photosynthesis?

Which color of light would you expect chlorophyll to absorb the least?

Most plants are green because....

chlorophyll absorbs green light well

chlorophyll does not absorb green light well

chlorophyll reflects green light well

both of the last two answers are correct

Thinking about the gases involved in respiration and photosynthesis, during the day, a plant is producing____ from respiration and releasing_____ from photosynthesis. But at night, a plant is only producing_______ from respiration.(spell your answers out completely).

Plants perform cellular respiration to produce.......

Which of the following is true about plants and cellular respiration?

plants perform cellular respiration only during the night

plants perform cellular respiration only during the day

plants perform cellular respiration during the night and day

plants do not perform cellular respiration

Which of the following is true regarding plants and photosynthesis?

plants perform photosynthesis only during the night

plants perform photosynthesis only during the day

plants perform photosynthesis during the night and day

plants do not perform photosynthesis

Is it possible for this plant to consistently do more cellular respiration than photosynthesis?

yes, plants use excess ATP for growth

yes, but only during winter months

not today, but fossil records shows they did in the past

no, plants can't consume food faster than they make it

Why are stomata a necessary feature of plants? [2 pt; L1; II.A] Stomata are necessary because they are the only plant cells that actively undergo photosynthesis. The cuticle prevents gasses from entering cells. Without stomata, there would be no route for gas exchange. The water inside plants has to go somewhere. If it were not for stomata, the water vapor would build up inside the leaf, and the leaf would lyse. Stomata are required because they store the carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis and empty their contents directly into the vascular system.

You are a researcher looking at different ways you can utilize plantsâ ability to make its own glucose and replicate it outside of a plant cell. You start by isolating mesophyll cells from the three types of plants: C3, C4, and CAM plants. You want to predict what will happen to the outputs of photosynthesis by changing the different concentration of the inputs to each type of plant.

a) Before you isolate the mesophyll cells, you want to see if there is a difference between C3 and C4 plants if they are grown in increased atmospheric C02. Predict How much of their outputs are going to be produced after 1 month of incubation.

You add a poison that acts as an inhibitor that binds to Rubisco but you donât know what type of inhibitor that it might be.

b) Describe two types of inhibitors that would be involved.

c) What type of experiments could you conduct to discriminate between the two? Explain your experiments.

d) Could Rubisco also be inhibited by allosteric inhibition? Explain how would this work or would not work.
