Midterm examination of plant ntrition
April 23, 2015
1. Explain the following terms: (20 points)
(1) mineral element theory
(2) secondary active transport
(3) proton pump
(4) phytosiderophores
(5) apical dominance
(6) uniporters
(7) guttation
(8) determinate plants
(9) dource and sink
(10)leaf area index
2. Name and briefly describe the two cellular pH-stat that contribute to the
maintenace of a high pH level in cytosol of plants. Which one is dominant
and why?(10points)
3. What is photorespiration? Discuss the meaning and significance of
photorespiration of C3 plants.(10 points)
4. What are the mineral elements that take part in the light reaction of
photosynthesis? (10 points)
5. Discuss: Why nitrate uptake of plant increases the pH of the outer solution
and the reverse is true for ammonium uptake? (10 points)
6. What is the acid growth theory? (10 points)
7. How might the pH of the xylem sap regulate the uptake of absicic acid
(ABA) in leaf mesophyll cells, thus helping the leaf to adapt to water
stress? (10 points)
8. Discuss why and the significance of the resting membrane potential of
root cells are often more negative than -100mV. (10 points)
9. Discuss: Why the foliar fertilization is important in agricultural
production worldwide.(10 points)
