GradingGrades will be assigned on the basis of your performance on frequent quizzes and two exams in each of the two portions of the course (animal biology and plant biology), and your laboratory work, as follows:
Lecture exams and quizzes will consist of a mixture of multiple true/false and short essay questions,
you write the essay questions (start thinking about questions now).quizzes may be taken with a partner.
Weeks ~1-5 (JY)Lecture notes and reading assignments are subject to change.
The assigned reading is considered the minimum required. Students should plan on using the Glossary and the Index in Freeman.
Students are further encouraged to consult other sources when assigned material is not clear.
Broad Course GoalsIntegrate knowledge gained in Biology 204 and 205,
Ecology, Evolution and Diversity (204),Cell Biology (205).
Understand how organisms are organized at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, whole organism, and mutualistic levels,
Literate in the field (writing, listening, speaking)Study skills,Laboratory skills,Other?
Jeff Young, [email protected]: BI412Arabidopsis thalianaGenome-based study of plant physiology and environmental responses.
Office Hours
MWF:1-2 amby appointment.
Success is Easyif you work hard.Do the reading assignments before class,
know the vocabulary,dont neglect the figures,
Attend lectures,
Listen to the lectures, look at the examples, think.
Know the material,
its easier to just learn it, than it is to try to guess or divine your instructors intentions.

The Plant BodyOne that plants thorns must never expect to gather roses. - English Proverb
TodayWhat are the major organ systems that make up the plant body?
what are the major functions of these organs?
What are the three major tissues that make up plant organs?
what cell types comprise these tissues? what are some functions of these cells?

Organ SystemsOrgans: a specialized center of body function composed of several types of tissues (an integrated group of cells with common structure and function).
Organ SystemsMajor FunctionsStemRootPhotosynthesis;
- synthesis and storage of carbohydrates,
Synthesis and storage and other materials.
Photosynthesis
We can describe photosynthesis with this reaction:
6CO2 + 6H2O + light ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Fixed Carbonprimary metabolism
Fixed Carbonprimary metabolitesGrains: i.e. wheat, barley, corn, and rice,
Starches: tubers and roots such as potatoes and poi, and stems such as in yams,
In other species the carbohydrate is converted to fats;
Oils: soybean, corn, peanut, palm, coconut, sunflower, olive, safflower, and many others.
Fruits: grapes, figs, olives, dates, apples, mulberries, bananas, oranges, mangoes, etc.
Sugar: is stored in stems (sugarcane) or roots (sugar beets),
Proteins: plants convert carbohydrate into nitrogen-containing proteins as well. Plant foods high in protein include beans and many other vegetables,
Fibers: dietary, also, flax, cotton, etc.
we cannot digest fiber, it is nevertheless very useful in our diets.
Regardless of how we think of plant contributions to our diet, plants are also the foods of animals, which we also consume as food.

- lateral (secondary) roots extend from the tap root.Tap roots of fibrous-root plants typically perish ,
- adventitious roots (extending from the stem) densely fill the surrounding soil,
- root surface area of a 4 month old rye plant was measured as 639 M 2.

Plant Tissues
General Plant Cells+ unique to plant cells
- Plastids ;
- chloroplasts,- amyloplasts,- leucoplasts,- etc.
- Large Central Vacuole;
- single membrane,(tonoplast),
Cellulose Based Cell Wall,
Plasmodesmata.
Cell Walls
Parenchyma, Collenchyma, SchlerenchymaStudy Figs. 36.22, 24, 25
Pay attention in lab.Parenchyma:
Typically a not distinctively specialized cell with a nucleate protoplast concerned with one or more of the various physiological and biochemical activities in plants. Thin primary walls. Collenchyma:
A supporting tissue composed of more or less elongated living cells with uneven thickened cell walls. Common in regions of growth. Schlerenchyma:
Cell variable in form and size and having more or less thick, often lignified, secondary walls. Supporting cells that may or may not be devoid of protoplast at maturity. from Esau.

Apoplast / SymplastSymplast
The interconnected protoplasts and their plasmodesmata.Apoplast
The cell wall continuum of a plant. Outside of the symplast.
