mitosis- genetically identical; daughter cells.
meiosis- genetically different; gamates
Stages of mitosis & meiosis
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Interphase
Describe the function of photosynthesis, transpiration, & cellular respiration.
photosynthesis- makes food, sun, h20, co2, creates sugars & starches
transpiration- loss of water from plant
cell respiration- releasing energy
List & define 8 types of land classification
1-4 cultivate (1 is best, can farm on)
5-8 grazing (only for animals)
what is soil texture vs soil structure & list the soil particles in order of particle size- large to small
soil texture- % of sand, silt, clay
soil structure - arrangement of particles
Separate the 17 essential plant nutrients into macro & micro, make sure t indicate which three are the
most important
macro: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Calcium, Sulfur, Magnesium.
Micro: Maganese, Molybdenum, Chlorine, Copper, Boron, Zink, Nickel, Iron
what is the most important nutrient's main purpose for the plant?
Nitrogen; helps to make the plant green (chlorophyll)
Describe the following propagation methods of air layering, tissue culture, stem cuttings, leaf cuttings,
root cuttings, & seeds.
Air layering is a method of propagating new trees and shrubs from stems still attached to the parent
plant. The stem is wrapped with damp moss to encourage roots to form.
Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs
under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. It is widely used to
produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation.
Stem cuttings: It involves taking a section of stem from a parent plant and manipulating it to create a
new plant.
leaf cuttings: stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems
root cuttings: the portion of root is cut from a parent plant (often called a mother plant), placed in a
growing medium, and then left to grow its own system of roots and stems.
seeds: is the method of plant propagation (multiplying, reproducing, or breeding new plants) that is
done through the use of seeds.
Describe asexual plant propagation & sexual plant propagation.
asexual: cuttings, layering, division, buddings, & grafting
sexual:involves the union of the pollen (male) with the egg (female) to produce a seed
Breakdown the spermatophyta category of plants & describe each sub level.
Gymnosperm- cones, naked seeds
Angiosperm- Flower parts (monocotyledons- first leaf, parallel veins, non-woody flowers 3)
(dicotyledons- netted veins, woody, flowers 4 or 5).
describe the vascular system of a monocotyledon & dicotyledon
monocot- vascular bundles
dicot- organized
What are the 3 vegetative parts of the plant & what are their main function?
leaf- photosynthesis
stem-support
root- water/ nutrients
what is the reproductive part of the plant?
The flower is the reproductive unit of some plants (angiosperms). Parts of the flower include petals,
sepals, one or more carpels (the female reproductive organs), and stamens (the male reproductive
organs).
What is osmosis?
is the passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane in order to reduce a
concentration difference of a solute between a concentrate and permeate solution separated by the
membrane
