KSU Bio 198 Exam 6 Questions And Answers
(Updated And Verified)
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.
C4
In the ______ photosynthetic pathway, carbon dioxide is fixed by RUBISCO into sugars via the Calvin
Cycle (just like in C4).
C3
The _____ photosynthetic pathway separates light-dependent reactions and uses carbon dioxide and
the Calvin cycle temporarily.
CAM
The ______ photosynthetic pathway produces carbon fixation without using ATP and is ideal in a cool
and moist habitat.
C3
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).
C4
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.
CAM
__________ shares a recent common ancestor with plants and has a similar chloroplast structure to
plants.
Green Algae
A _______ is the plant generation that produces the spores (diploid).
Sporophyte
The plant generation that produces the gametes.
Gametophyte
The process of _______ produces two diploid (2n) daughter cells, occurs in somatic cells, and is used
for growth, cell replacement, etc.
Mitosis
________ produces four haploid (n) daughter cells, occurs in sex cells, and is used to produce gametes
for sexual reproduction.
Meiosis
________ is a state of extreme dryness.
, Desiccation
A ______ is where leaves and buds occur.
Node
_______ are the spaces between nodes.
Internodes
______ is the zone of actively dividing cells.
Meristem
_______ tissue covers and protects surfaces.
Dermal
Xylem and phloem are two examples of ____________.
Vascular Tissue
_____ tissue provides storage and structural support for vascular tissue
Ground
________ is the meiosis-produced pollen (male gametophyte).
Stamen
______ is the meiosis-produced ovule (female gametophye).
Pistle
The process of _______ maintains ploidy levels.
Mitosis
The process of _________ reduces ploidy level.
Meiosis
The fusion of _________ increases the ploidy level.
gametes
A _______ is a mature ovary specialized for the dispersal of seeds.
Fruit
_________ is the transfer of pollen to the stigma.
Pollination
_________ is the union of two gametes.
Fertilization
