Plant Pigment Chromatography and Photosynthesis Warm up (11-17-14) • Explain what you know about plants. • Try to be specific and use scientific terms if possible. Outline • Objectives • Plant Background Info Objectives • To gain background information about plants and how they colonized land Where did ‘plants’ come from? • Land plants evolved from green algae – Charophyceans • Evidence to support the relationship between algae and plants – Plants: multicellular, eukaryotic, photosynthetic autotrophs – Algae: certain types of green algae, brown, and red algae are also multicellular, eukaryotic, photosynthetic autotrophs Where did plants come from? • Both plants and green algae (also dinoflagellates, and brown algae) have cell walls made of cellulose • Both plants and green algae (also a few dinoflagellates, and euglenids) have chloroplasts with chlorophylls a and b Evidence for plant relationship • 4 characteristics that plants share with charophyceans 1. Rose-shaped complexes for cellulose synthesis 1. Rosette cellulose-synthesizing complexes (charyphyceans) 2. Peroxisome enzymes: minimize loss of organic products as a result of photorespiration 3. Structure of flagellated sperm 4. Formation of a phragmoplast: alignment of cytoskeletal elements and Golgi-derived vesicles across the midline of the dividing cell during cell division Adaptations to Survive on Land • Charophycean algae inhabit shallow areas that may dry out • Natural selection favors the algae that can survive without the water during those periods of drying How are plants different from algae? • Embryophytes: plants with embryos – This is the plant kingdom under the traditional scheme for dividing the kingdoms • Five traits that are different between charophyceans and plants 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Apical meristems Alternation of generations Walled spores produced in sporangia Multicellular gametangia Multicellular dependent embryos gametangia Apical Meristems • Responsible for plant growth • Localized regions of cell division at the tips of shoots and roots • Cells produced here differentiate into various tissues • Shoot (produce leaves) and root (produce roots) apical meristems Alternation of Generations • Sporophyte and gametophyte – Cells of the gametophyte are haploid • Produced by mitosis of haploid gametes (eggs and sperm) that fuse during fertilization, forming diploid zygotes • Mitotic division of the zygote produces the multicellular sporophyte (spore-producing generation, diploid) • Meiosis in a mature sporophyte creates haploid spores (reproductive cells) How are Land Plants Grouped? • Based on the presence of vascular tissue • Plants with this tissue are called vascular plants • Plants without this tissue are called nonvascular plants (liverworts, hornworts, and mosses) – bryophytes How are Land Plants Grouped? • Vascular plants form a clade – Specified into smaller clades 1. Seedless Vascular plants 1. Lycophytes (club mosses and relatives) 2. Pterophytes (ferns and relatives) 2. Seeded Vascular plants 1. Gymnosperms(seeds not enclosed in chambers) 2. Angiosperms (flowering plants, seeds develop in ovaries which mature into fruits) Terrestrial Adaptations of Seed Plants • Common seed plant attributes: reduced gametophytes, heterospory, ovules, and pollen • Advantage of reduced gametophytes – Gametophytes of seed plants are mostly microscopic – Allows for development of spores contained in the sporangia of the parental sporophyte • Protects the female gametophyte Evolutionary Advantage of Seeds • Sperm fertilizes an egg of a seed plant, zygote grows into a sporophyte embryo • Whole ovule develops into a seed, contains an embryo, food supply, surrounded by a protective coat Evolutionary Advantage of Seeds • Seed is multicellular structure that is more resistant than spores • Seeds can be dormant for days, months, or years • Germinates under favorable conditions • They can be carried to distant locations by wind or animals Warm up (11-18-14) • What is the difference between a sporophyte and a gametophyte? • What do you think the difference is between a gymnosperm and an angiosperm? Outline • Objectives • Plant Notes Objectives • To gain background information about plants and how they colonized land Gymnosperms • “naked seeds” – not enclosed in ovaries • Typically on cones • Cone-bearing plants – conifers – Pines, firs, and redwoods • 4 phyla: Cycadophyta, Ginkophyta, Gnetophyta, and Coniferophyta • Pollination for most is wind-directed Phylum Cycadophyta • Cycads • Large cones, palmlike leaves (true palm species are angiosperms) Phylum Ginkophyta • Ginkgo biloba is only species of this phylum • Fanlike leaves • Fleshy seeds smell rancid as they decay Phylum Gnetophyta • Some are tropical, some in deserts • Grouped based on molecular data Phylum Coniferophyta • Largest of the gymnosperm phyla • 600 species • Evergreens – retain leaves throughout the year • Winter – photosynthesis still occurs with sun Life Cycle of a Pine Angiosperms • Have flowers and fruits • Flower – Specialized for sexual reproduction – Insects or other species can transfer pollen from one flower to the female sex organs on another flower for most – Some have wind-directed pollination • Dense populations • Why would this be more advantageous? Flowers Flowers • Sepal – Usually green, enclose the flower before it opens (rosebud) • Petals – Brightly colored, aid in attracting pollinators – Wind-pollinated flowers (what do you think their colors are?) • Stamens – Microsporophylls, produce microspores that give rise to pollen grains that contain male gametophytes – Consists of filament (stalk) and anther (terminal sac where pollen is produced) • Carpels – Megasporophylls, make megaspores, female gametophytes – Stigma – sticky, receives the pollen – Single carpel or group of fused carpels is called a pistil Flowers • Sepals and petals are sterile floral organs – Not directly involved in reproduction Fruits • Consists of a mature ovary • May include other flower parts • Wall of the ovary becomes the pericarp (thickened wall of the fruit) with hormonal changes after pollination Fruits • When mature, can be fleshy or dry • Dry fruits: beans, nuts, grains • How are seeds dispersed? – People, wind, animals, water – What about edible fruits? How are those seeds dispersed? Angiosperm Life Cycle Vascular Plants • Review of Transport: – Active and passive – Transport proteins – Proton pumps • Plasma membrane, uses energy from ATP to pump hydrogen ions out of the cell • Causes proton gradient and a differential charge on opposite sides of the membrane causing membrane potential • Plants use the stored energy of membrane potential and proton gradients to help with transport of materials Water Potential • Pressure and solute concentration – Solute potential is sometimes called osmotic potential – solutes affect the direction of osmosis – Solute potential of pure water is 0, solute potential of a solution is always negative – Pressure potential – physical pressure on a solution, can be positive or negative relative to atmospheric pressure – If external solution has lower(more negative) water potential, water will leave the cell and the cell’s protoplast will plasmolyze – shrink or pull away from its wall • Flaccid cell: limp cell • Walled cell that has greater solute concentration than its surroundings is turgid – very firm Water Transport • Water is moved across the membranes of plant cells by water potential • Water transport across biological membranes is too quick and specific for diffusion to be the only explanation – Water crosses vacuolar and plasma membranes through aquaporins – transport proteins – These channels don’t affect water potential gradient or direction of water flow… they only affect the rate at which water diffuses down its water potential gradient Transport in Plants • Compartmental structure of plant cells 1. Protoplast is surrounded by cell wall 2. Plasma membrane is directly involved with movement of molecules 3. Vacuole – large organelle can occupy up to 90% or more of protoplast’s volume • Vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) – regulates molecular traffic between cytosol and vacuolar contents Transport in Plants • Most plants, cytosol and cell wall are continuous from cell to cell • Connected by plasmodesmata • Symplast: cytoplasmic continuum • Apoplast: continuum of cell walls plus extracellular spaces Warm up (11-19-14) • Explain some of the evolutionary advantages to seed-bearing plants. – Why is the seed an evolutionary advantage? • Why are the flower and fruit further evolutionary advantages? Outline • • • • Objectives Plant Transport Experiment Plant Background Notes Plant Transport Video Objectives • To gain background information about the structure of plant cells and plants to determine how nutrients are transported through the plants. Celery Transport • You will need 2 stalks of celery • Take 1 stalk of celery, cut off the bottom end (2 cm or so) • Place in beaker full of colored water (you can choose what color you want) • Set the beaker off to the side. • In your composition notebooks – Take notes on what you notice about the structure of the 2nd stalk of celery. – You may cut up this stalk of celery and examine the structure – You may draw diagrams and pictures to help describe what you are seeing – Pay careful attention to the leaves of the celery as well Flower Dissection • See if you can identify the parts of your flower. • You may need to use your notes • You can cut open the side of the reproductive organs and get a more detailed view of the flower Flower Dissection Plant Structure to Determine How Transport Occurs • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGCnuXx bZGk Water Potential • Pressure and solute concentration – Solute potential is sometimes called osmotic potential – solutes affect the direction of osmosis – Solute potential of pure water is 0, solute potential of a solution is always negative – Pressure potential – physical pressure on a solution, can be positive or negative relative to atmospheric pressure – If external solution has lower(more negative) water potential, water will leave the cell and the cell’s protoplast will plasmolyze – shrink or pull away from its wall • Flaccid cell: limp cell • Walled cell that has greater solute concentration than its surroundings is turgid – very firm Water Transport • Water is moved across the membranes of plant cells by water potential • Water transport across biological membranes is too quick and specific for diffusion to be the only explanation – Water crosses vacuolar and plasma membranes through aquaporins – transport proteins – These channels don’t affect water potential gradient or direction of water flow… they only affect the rate at which water diffuses down its water potential gradient Warm up (11-20-14) • How does plant structure help determine its function? – Think of things like gymnosperms and angiosperms, seeded plants versus non-seeded plants Outline • Objectives • Plant Notes Objectives • To gain background information about the structure of plant cells and plants to determine how nutrients are transported through the plants. Transport in Plants • Compartmental structure of plant cells 1. Protoplast is surrounded by cell wall 2. Plasma membrane is directly involved with movement of molecules 3. Vacuole – large organelle can occupy up to 90% or more of protoplast’s volume 1. Not shared with neighboring cells • Vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) – regulates molecular traffic between cytosol and vacuolar contents Transport in Plants • Most plants, cytosol and cell wall are continuous from cell to cell • Connected by plasmodesmata • Symplast: cytoplasmic continuum • Apoplast: continuum of cell walls plus extracellular spaces Routes of Short Distance Transport 1. Transmembrane Route: requires repeated crossings of plasma membranes as the solutes exit one cell and enter the next 2. Symplast Route: requires only one crossing of the membrane, after entering one cell, solutes can move via plasmodesmata 3. Apoplast Route: without entering the protoplast, solutes can move through the continuum of cell walls Bulk Flow – Long Distance Transport • Diffusion takes too long • Bulk Flow: movement of a fluid driven by pressure – Move through the tracheids and vessels of the xylem and through the sieve tubes of the phloem – Ex. In phloem… loading sugar causes high positive pressure at one end of a sieve tube, forcing sap to the opposite end of the tube – Ex. In xylem… tension(neg. pressure) drives long distance pressure • Transpiration: evaporation of water from a leaf helps reduce pressure in the leaf xylem Leaf Structure • Upper Epidermis: contains stomata (allow CO2 exchange between surrounding air and photosynthetic cells inside the leaf, loss of water), guard cells (regulate opening and closing of stomata) • Mesophyll: contains parenchyma cells specialized for photosynthesis, – Palisade Mesophyll: elongated parenchyma cells, upper part of leaf – Spongy Mesophyll: loosely arranged parenchyma cells, contains air spaces for Co2 and oxygen to flow through, larger spaces around stomata • Lower Epidermis: similar structure to the upper epidermis Photosynthesis • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joZ1EsA5 _NY • Take notes on this video!!! • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joZ1EsA5 _NY Photosynthesis Photosynthesis Photosynthesis • Conversion of light energy to chemical energy stored in sugar and organic molecules • Autotrophs: self-feeder, producers • Heterotrophs: other-feeder, consumers • Leaves are the major sites of photosynthesis • 6CO2 + 12 H2O + Light energy => C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O Why are Plants Green? • Chloroplasts: contain chlorophyll (green pigment that gives the plants their color) – Found in mesophyll tissue – Double membrane structure – Stroma: fluid within the chloroplast – Thylakoids: interconnected membranous sacs within the stroma, chlorophyll is in the thylakoid membranes • Thylakoid space: interior of the thylakoids – Grana: stacks of thylakoids Photosynthesis • Chloroplasts split water into hydrogen and oxygen – Allows plants to “give off” gases into the atmosphere • Redox Process – Redox reactions – Reverse electron flow than from cellular respiration • Water is split, electrons transferred with hydrogen ions from water to carbon dioxide, reducing it to sugar • Electrons increased in potential while moving from water to sugar – processes requires energy (light) ReDox Reactions • Oxidation and Reduction Reactions • Talking about electrons… • OIL RIG – Oxidation is lost – Reduction is gained Light Dependent Reactions • Thylakoid • Conversion of light energy to chemical energy • Light absorbed by chlorophyll transfers electrons and hydrogen from water to electron acceptor called NADP+ (temporary storage for electrons) • Use solar power to reduce NADP+ to NADPH by adding electrons and H+ • Generate ATP using chemiosmosis – Photophosphorylation – chemiosmosis to add phosphate to ADP = ATP • Photosystem I and Photosystem II – Produce energy that will be used to produce sugar Sunlight and the Electromagnetic Spectrum Electromagnetic Spectrum • Wavelength: distance between crests of 2 consecutive waves – 380nm – 750 nm visible light – detectible to the human eye • Photons: discrete particles, not tangible objects but behave like so, fixed amount of energy • Pigments: substances that absorb visible light, specific to wavelengths – Spectrophotometer: measures ability of pigment to absorb specific wavelengths – Absorption spectrum: pigment’s light absorption versus wavelength – Action spectrum: profiles relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving photosynthesis Pigments in Chloroplasts 1. Chlorophyll a : absorbs violet-blue and red light – Blue-green 2. Chlorophyll b : almost identical to a but structurally different which causes different absorption spectra – Yellow-green 3. Carotenoids: hydrocarbons, absorb blue-green and violet light – Photoprotection: absorb and dissipate excessive light energy that might damage chlorophyll or interact with oxygen causing oxidative molecules – Phytochemicals: antioxidant powers Excitation of Chlorophyll in the Photosystems • Within the thylakoid membranes are photosystems (reaction center surrounded by light-harvesting complexes) • Light harvesting complex: contains the pigment molecules bound to specific proteins • Reaction center: protein complex contains 2 special chlorophyll a molecules and a primary electron acceptor Dark Reactions / Calvin Cycle • Calvin Cycle – Stroma • Reduce carbohydrates 1. Carbon Fixation: incorporate carbon into organic compounds existing in chloroplast 2. Reduce Carbon Dioxide: all electrons, reducing power is provided by NADPH 3. Convert Co2 to Carbohydrate – need energy ATP **Has to run through 6 times to make 1 molecule of glucose Warm up (11-21-14) • Explain the importance of plant pigments. • What are some inferences you can make as to what would happen if plants didn’t have those pigments?
