General Botany - Exam 1 questions with verified
answers
Amyloplast Ans✓✓✓stores starch
Anaphase Ans✓✓✓Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes
separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
Anthocyanins Ans✓✓✓reflect blue and purple, water soluble pigments
apical meristem Ans✓✓✓group of unspecialized cells that divide to
produce increased length of stems and roots
Apoplastic route Ans✓✓✓molecules, organisms, and other substances
will travel through the pores of the cell wall never coming in contact
with the plasma membrane. because the cell wall is nonliving, this helps
the molecules avoid detection (for a short while)
Can a plant cell survive after being plasmolyzed? Ans✓✓✓no, the cell
will soon die
Cell plate Ans✓✓✓A double membrane across the midline of a
dividing plant cell, between which the new cell wall forms during
cytokinesis.
, Cell Theory Ans✓✓✓1. All living organisms are composed of one or
more cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.
3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
chloroplast Ans✓✓✓organelle found in cells of plants and some other
organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into
chemical energy; contains a double membrane with strama, thylakoid
membrane, and grana stacks
Chromoplast Ans✓✓✓a colored plastid other than a chloroplast,
typically containing a yellow or orange pigment. assists in
photosynthesis
Chromoplats Ans✓✓✓lipid soluble pigments
Collenchyma tissue Ans✓✓✓thin primary walls with some areas of
secondary thickening that provides extra mechanical and structural
support, particularly in regions of new growth.
Commonality between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Ans✓✓✓1) Keep
DNA in linear chromosomes
2) membrane bound organelles
3) have microtubules composed of tublin and actin protein in the
cytoskeleton
4) their genetic code
