Points Properties
Autotrophic Make their own food by themselves. They can manufacture the high energy food out of simple and low-energy by photosynthesis

single row of root hairs. It is for more
Root hair outgrowth may c) The solution inside the root surface

long concentrated than that of soil the root hair
cell vacuole weeks
d) Root hair secrete a viscous d) To help these root hairs to move
substance easily and to fix the plant to the soil
Points Mechanism of water and salt diffusion
Diffusion Is the movement of molecules or ions from a highly concentrated medium to a low concentrated one due to the continuous free motion
Diffusion of water molecules from a medium with a high concentration of water to another with low concentration of water through a semi-
Osmosis
permeable membrane (Osmotic pressure: is the pressure that causes the diffusion of water through semi-permeable membrane)
Cellulosic cell walls: permeable as they allow both water and ions to pass
Permeability Cell walls covered with lignin, suberin or cutin: impermeable to water and salts
Plasma membranes: allow the passage of water and control the permeability of many salts but it prevents sugars and amino acids
Imbibition Solid particles as colloidal have the ability to absorb liquids, swell and increase in volume
Ions move from the salt solution where the concentration is low to the inside of the cell where the concentration is high, energy is needed to move
Active transport
against the concentration gradient
How does absorption of water take place by the root?
1) Root hairs are covered with a colloidal layer, so the outer surface of root hairs will imbibe water from the salt solution
2) The imbibed water is then withdrawn to the inside by osmosis due to the difference between the higher concentration of sugar solution in the cell sap
3) Absorption and movement of water contains from one cell to another until it reaches the xylem vessels in the center of the root
Points Properties
Macro Are needed by the plant in considerable quantities: Nitrogen – Phosphorus – Sulphur – Potassium – Calcium – Magnesium – Iron
Micro Trace elements. They are needed in very small quantities: Manganese – Zinc – Aluminum – Copper – Chlorine – Iodine – Boron
Raw materials Products
1) Water 1) The main product of photosynthesis is a monosaccharide
2) Carbon dioxide: the only source to obtain Carbon A. Building up of proteins needed for growth
3) Mineral salt: B. The production of energy
A. Nitrates, Phosphates and sulphates: convert C. Formation of starch
Photosynthesis carbohydrates into proteins 2) Bi-product of photosynthesis is oxygen
B. Phosphorus: element in the (ATP) that carry energy
during photosynthesis
C. Magnesium: element in the synthesis of chlorophyll
D. Iron: element in building up some enzymes
Label Function
Thin membrane Enclosed it (about 10 nanometer thick)
Stroma Matrix which is a colorless protein substance
Chloroplast Starch grains Minute in its size change back to soluble sugar in order to be translocated to organs of the plant
- Is a pile of 15 or more discs, each disc is hollow
Grana - Grana are arranged as clusters as they are linked together by (Grana lamellae)
- Are responsible for carrying the pigments that absorb light energy
Chlorophyll Absorb light energy required for plants to carry out photosynthesis, magnesium atom occupies the center of the molecule
- Composed of one row of adjacent, barrel-shaped parenchyma cells with no chlorophyll to allow sunlight to pass
Upper and lower
- Stomata spread between them in higher concentration in lower surface
epidermis
- The outer walls of these cells are covered with cutin to protect and decrease the loss of water vapor
Lies below the upper epidermis consists of one row of elongated cylindrical cells arranged perpendicular to
The plant leaf Palisade
the leaf possess many chloroplasts that are arranged at the upper parts
Mesophyll
Lies below the palisade layer irregularly shaped and loosely arranged cells with large intercellular spaces
Sponge
contain less chloroplasts then the palisade cells
Vascular tissue Inside the vascular bundle there are Xylem and Phloem lies towards the lower epidermis
- Light acts as the limiting factor of the process
- Light reactions take place in grana
a) Light falls grana inside the chloroplast, electrons in the chlorophyll gain light energy
Light reaction b) Electrons move up from to higher level. So energy is stored as chemical energy. And is called an excited state
c) Part of the energy stored is used in splitting up water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen
d) Hydrogen from the decomposition of water combines with a co-enzyme NADP which is a hydrogen receptor to give NADPH2 and
Oxygen releases as a bi-product for the decomposition of water
- Temperature is the limiting factor for the process (enzymatic reaction)
- Dark reactions take place in stroma
Dark reaction a) Hydrogen carried on NADPH2 is used to fix CO2 gas into carbohydrates with the help of the energy in ATP molecules
b) PGAL (phosphoglyceraldehyde) is first stable compound (3 Carbon atoms) produced in photosynthesis
c) From PGAL all other products in plant cells can be produced
1) Are protein in nature (consists of amino acids linked together by peptide chain)
2) Act like a catalyst as it combines with the reactants and decrease the activation energy. They are specific in function
Enzymes 3) They accelerate the rate of reaction without affecting the end products. They have reversible effect
4) Some enzymes are secreted inactive form and need Co-enzyme to inds to active site of the enzyme as pepsinogen and trypsinogen
1- Water: 90%
The stomach is joined to the lower part of the 2- Hydrochloric acid: acidic (PH 2.5 – 1.5) that stops the action of ptyalin
Gastric esophagus by the cardiac sphincter, the stomach enzyme and kills the harmful bacteria and activates the gastric enzyme
Stomach is joined to the small intestine by the pyloric Pepsinogen into active Pepsin
digestion
sphincter
3- Pepsin enzyme: which is secreted in an inactive form as pepsinogen, that is
activated by HCl acid into active pepsin. Pepsin catalyzes the hydrolysis of
proteins to polypeptides
The small intestine has 8 meter long. Coils and loops of the small intestine are connected by mesenteric membrane, the small intestine is
differentiated into two parts: the duodenum and ileum
Bile is secreted from the liver during its passage in the Bile emulsifies fats to facilitate and accelerate the enzymatic action
Bile duodenum
1) Sodium bicarbonate That neutralizes HCl acid and renders the duodenum alkaline
2) Pancreatic amylase Catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch and glycogen into a disaccharide
3) Trypsinogen enzyme: It catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins into polypeptides
Is an inactive enzyme that is activated by the
Pancreatic action of a co-enzyme called enterokinase into
juice active trypsin
Intestinal
4) Lipases Catalyzes the hydrolysis of fatty emulsion into fatty acids and glycerol
digestion
Mechanism of transport in the phloem (Cytoplasmic streaming). It is explained by Thain and Canny
a) Cytoplasmic streaming is the cytoplasmic circular movement inside sieve tubes and companion cell
b) It is an inactive transport (need more ATP which exist in the companion cells)
c) Food stuffs are translocated through Plasmodesmata from one sieve tube to another one
d) It is delayed with the decreases of temperature or decrease in oxygen in the cells
- The maximum blood pressure is measured as the ventricles contract and the minimum as the ventricles relax
- The blood pressure is measured by mercuric instruments, sphygmomanometers
- Its reading consists of two numbers, for example 120/80 mmHg
- As the ventricles contract, the doctor can listen to the heart beat, while as the ventricles relax the
sound disappears
Blood pressure - When the skeletal muscles near the veins contract, they put pressure on the wall of the vein and the
blood contained in these vessels. Veins, however, have valves that prevent backward flow, and
therefore pressure from muscle contraction is sufficient to move blood through veins towards the
heart
Non-cellular respiration
In case of animal cells, muscle:
The muscles exert efforts or exercises, consume most of the oxygen in their cells and convert pyruvic acid into lactic acid
(Muscular fatigue)
In case of Bacteria, Pyruvic acid converts into Lactic acid: Acidic fermentation
C6H12O6 → 2C3H6O3 + 2ATP
In case of Yeast fungus: Alcoholic fermentation
Pyruvic acid is reduced into Ethyl alcohol and Carbon dioxide
C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP
