Answers
C4 - ANSW-The ______ photosynthetic pathway is where carbon dioxide is fixed by RUBISCO into sugars
via the Calvin Cycle. It uses ATP, photorespiration is minimized, and it increases the rate of
photosynthesis.
C3 - ANSW-In the ______ photosynthetic pathway, carbon dioxide is fixed by RUBISCO into sugars via the
Calvin Cycle (just like in C4).
CAM - ANSW-The _____ photosynthetic pathway separates light-dependent reactions and uses carbon
dioxide and the Calvin cycle temporarily.
C3 - ANSW-The ______ photosynthetic pathway produces carbon fixation without using ATP and is ideal
in a cool and moist habitat.
C4 - ANSW-The ______ photosynthetic pathway has a large ATP cost because it fixed carbon twice.
Carbon fixation is less efficient under cold conditions. It is ideal in hot environments (not cold).
CAM - ANSW-The _______ photosynthetic pathway reduces the amount of fixed carbon, and the
stomata only open at night. This reduces photorespiration and water loss. Best in hot and dry habitats.
Green Algae - ANSW-__________ shares a recent common ancestor with plants and has a similar
chloroplast structure to plants.
Sporophyte - ANSW-A _______ is the plant generation that produces the spores (diploid).
Gametophyte - ANSW-The plant generation that produces the gametes.
Mitosis - ANSW-The process of _______ produces two diploid (2n) daughter cells, occurs in somatic cells,
and is used for growth, cell replacement, etc.
Meiosis - ANSW-________ produces four haploid (n) daughter cells, occurs in sex cells, and is used to
produce gametes for sexual reproduction.
Desiccation - ANSW-________ is a state of extreme dryness.
Node - ANSW-A ______ is where leaves and buds occur.
Internodes - ANSW-_______ are the spaces between nodes.
Meristem - ANSW-______ is the zone of actively dividing cells.
Dermal - ANSW-_______ tissue covers and protects surfaces.
Vascular Tissue - ANSW-Xylem and phloem are two examples of ____________.
Ground - ANSW-_____ tissue provides storage and structural support for vascular tissue
Stamen - ANSW-________ is the meiosis-produced pollen (male gametophyte).
, Pistle - ANSW-______ is the meiosis-produced ovule (female gametophye).
Mitosis - ANSW-The process of _______ maintains ploidy levels.
Meiosis - ANSW-The process of _________ reduces ploidy level.
gametes - ANSW-The fusion of _________ increases the ploidy level.
Fruit - ANSW-A _______ is a mature ovary specialized for the dispersal of seeds.
Pollination - ANSW-_________ is the transfer of pollen to the stigma.
Fertilization - ANSW-_________ is the union of two gametes.
Imbibition - ANSW-________ is the uptake of water by a germinating seed.
Germination - ANSW-__________ is the resumption of growth after seed dormancy is broken.
primary - ANSW-The apical meristem is the ________ growth.
secondary - ANSW-The lateral meristem is __________ growth.
Gibberellin - ANSW-________ is a plant hormone that stimulates cell division and causes shoot
elongation.
Xylem - ANSW-________ is dead at maturity and transports water and nutrients from roots to shoots.
Phloem - ANSW-________ is alive at maturity and transports photosynthates (sugars) & organic
compounds.
Transpiration - ANSW-___________ is the loss of water from a leaf due to evaporation.
Water - ANSW-________ molecules are small, polar, cohesive, and adhesive.
passive - ANSW-Crossing a membrane from high to low concentration without expending energy is called
______ transport.
Active - ANSW-______ transport is crossing a membrane from low to high concentration and requires
energy.
Root Nodules - ANSW-____________ are spots of swelling on the root of a plant that contains bacteria
that is capable of nitrogen fixation.
Stomata - ANSW-________ are pores that open to allow for gas exchange and close to prevent
transpiration.
Cohesion - ANSW-_______ is when water molecules stick together with hydrogen bonds. This is used to
form a continuous column from soil outside roots to stomates in leaves.
Adhesion - ANSW-_______ is when water molecules stick to walls of xylem. It prevents it from falling
back down.
endosperm - ANSW-The function of the ___________ is to provide nutrients to the embryo.
grain - ANSW-Is more energy transferred to humans when they consume grain or meat?
