Review for Global Plant Quiz

Topic One:

Photosynthesis

What is a light reaction?

What products and reactants are involved?

What is a dark reaction?

What products and reactants are involved?

Where do both reaction occur?

Do you have a venn diagram for C3 and C4 plants discussing where they live and why c3 is less efficient than C4

Topic Two: Alternation of Generations

Do you have life cycles for all five types of plants so you can discuss dominant forms (sporo or gametophyte) .

How is haploid and diploid linked to gametophyte and sporophyte?

How is alternation of generations linked to the movement on land?

What cell structure in a plant would not be linked to movement to land?

What is succession and how is it linked to movement to land?

What is the difference between a spore and a seed?

How is a gymnosperm and an angiosperm similar and different (think venn diagram)

What are examples of fruits verses roots?

Do you have a comparative table comparing plant hormones and what they do?

What are three types of trophism in plants and which hormones could be involved.

Is an apple a monocot or a dicot ( do you have a comparative table?

Could you compare plant classes in regards to defining characteristics, dominant generation, unique structures and reproductive strategies?
