What characteristics do plants growing in darkness have?
Shoots with pale stems
Etolation
plant goes from pale stem to turning into a photosynthetic plant
The 3 stages of the Greening Response
Reception of Light,

Transduction,


Response

Reception of Light
Exposure of only a few seconds of light. Phytochrome is the receptor pigment. Pfr turns into Pr.
Transduction
2nd messenger cGMP amplifies the initial signal, and new phytochrome config acts w/ GTP. GTP interacts w/ activating proteins to become cGMP
Response
GMP stimulates transcription genes, or activates stored proteins. The amplified message either stimulates RNA transcription or activates existing enzymes that are stored in cell
Plant Hormones
Typically small molecules capable of moving across cell walls. Control cell division
Auxin
Promotes coleoptile elongation.
Gibberellins
Stimulates cell wall elongation. Work with auxin. Released by embryos.
Absicissic Acid
Prevents germination in mature seeds. Desert seeds mush be washed to sprout.
Ethylene
Works with auxin to control leaf absicission.
Brassinosteriods
Hormones that are like animals hormones but in plants
Phytochromes
Light receptors in plants that regulate reception of light. Has 2 isomers Pr and Pfr.
Alkaloids
neurotoxin steroid,

milkweed

Terpenoids and Terpenes
low nitrogen,

high light exposure,


pine sap,

mushrooms


Ectomycorrhiza
increasing absorption abilities of roots by 1000x, not invading cell wall
Endomycorrhiza
increasing absorption abilities by 1000x times, invades cell wall
Endophytic Fungi
invade above ground tissues
Crustose
encrusting lichen
Foliose
leaf life lichen
Fruiticose
shrub like
Lichen Reproduction
can reproduce asexually by fragmentation, also asexual spores
Ectoderm
digestive tract, liver, lungs
Mesoderm
muscles, between digestive tract and outer covering
Coelomates
body cavity forms withing mesoderm
Pseudocoelomates
body cavity forms between endoderm and mesoderm
Acoelomates
no body cavity
Protostomes
mouth forms first,

have spiral determinant cleavage,


8 cell stage cant clone

Deuterostomes
anus forms first,

radial indeterminant cleavage,


8 cell stage able to clone

Cnidarians
polyp or medusa,

primitive muscle,


has grastula

radial symmetry,


several arms

Asteroidea
Echinodermata,

starfish

Echinodermata,

visible central disk,


starfish like

Operculum
muscle controlled so that sharks and certain fish can break while not moving
Amniotic Egg
4 membranes
exothermic
cold blooded
endothermic
warm blooded
Amniotic Egg Layer Chorion
exchanges gases between embryo and air
Amniotic Egg Layer Allantois
storage of metabolic wastes and aids in respiration
Amniotic Egg Layer Amnion
defines a fluid filled sac that protects embryo
Amniotic Egg LayerYolk Sac
contains yolk
Monotremes
egg laying mammals,

embryo hatches and crawls to mammary glands

Marsupials
birth embryos,

no eggs,


crawl to pouch

Placentals
humans

Cytokinins
Only in presence of auxin. Help w/ cell elongation
Cytokinin = auxin
Cells grow
Cytokinin > auxin
shoots develop
Cytokinin < auxin
shoots don't develop

Passes through parenchymal tissues
2nd Step of Auxin
Stimulates membrane protein pumps
3rd Step of Auxin
Acidifies cell walls, stimulates expansins
4th Step of Auxin
