Metabolism and Cell Structure Vocabulary

4. Organic compounds with the empirical formula Cm(H20)n.
5. These cells are long and die at maturity but give a plant structural support.
7. This occurs as RUBISCO is not 100% efficient.
10. An organic hydrophobic molecule that is localized in the thylakoid of plants.
11. Transports sugars to sink organs of plants.
12. "Holes" in cell wall and plasma membrane that allow for quick transfer of small molecules.
16. This produces excess energy that is sent to other places.
20. This occurs when there is a Ca2+ gradient consistently applied to one area of a cell.
23. This transport type has many plasmodesmata that allow for quick loading of phloem.
24. P680+ donates 2 electrons to this.
25. A C6 sugar monomer, e.g. galactose, glucose, galacturonic acid, or rhamnose.
27. This is where energy is needed, and thus, where sugars move to.

1. Being the most abundant enzyme on Earth, this catalyzes the carboxylation of ribulose 1,5-biphosphate into 3-phosphoclycerate.
2. A C5 sugar monomer, e.g. xylose or arabinose.
3. Protein complex made of 36 proteins embedded in the plasma membrane that synthesizes a component of the cell wall.
4. This phenomenon relegates different metabolic process to different locations within the cell.
6. Slightly branched form of energy storage.
8. Plants sequester carbon through this process.
9. A single sugar unit.
12. This donates 2 electrons to P700.
13. Only present in secondary cell wall and is very hard to degrade.
14. The waterproof outer-covering of all land plants.
15. The sum of the xylem and phloem within a plant body.
17. This transport type has no plasmodesmata to facilitate movement.
18. This component of phloem is used for transport and has no nucleus.
19. Component of dietary fiber and component of cell wall.
20. A chain of 2 or more sugar units.
21. These plants have a PEP carboxylase that eliminates photorespiration
22. These help the cell wall to expand with the cell by loosening cellulose and pectin interactions.
23. The most useful carbohydrate in plants is made of one glucose and one fructose molecule.
26. Transports water and nutrients from roots up.
28. A highly branched form of energy storage.
