Study Notes

Training Questions for Lectures 3, 4, and 5

  • Scientific Term Definitions:
    • Photosynthesis: A series of processes where light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of a simple sugar.
    • Carbon Dioxide Fixation: Carbon dioxide is fixed into simple sugars within chloroplasts.
    • Nitrogen Fixation: Converting atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to ammonia. This ammonia is then metabolized by most organisms.
    • Net Movement: Substance moves from high concentration areas to low concentration areas.
    • Active Transport: Energy is used to transport molecules against their concentration gradient (low to high).
    • Water Movement Through Membranes: Water moves from high water concentration areas to low water concentration areas across semi-permeable membranes
    • Plant Tropisms: Directional plant movements in response to various stimuli. Includes gravity, light, water, and touch.
    • Phytochemistry: Study of drugs from natural sources (plants, animals, and marine organisms).
    • Crude Drug: Unrefined natural substance used medicinally for properties it intrinsically possesses.
    • Pharmacopeia: Recognized book listing standards for drugs.
    • Drug Recognition: Drugs may be recognized or not recognized by a pharmacopeia.
    • Drug Adulterants: Inferior material added to drugs.

Additional Concepts

  • Factors Affecting Photosynthesis & Diffusion: Photosynthesis and diffusion of molecules are affected by factors including a variety of elements.
  • Natural Products in Medicine: Natural products are used in modern medicine because they contain molecules that can be used to create drugs that successfully treated or alleviated various medical conditions.
  • Crude Drug Drying: Procedures, objectives, advantages, and considerations of drying crude drugs are important considerations.
  • Drug Packaging: Good packaging of medicinal plants and how factors like packaging can factor in.
  • Starch & Fixed Oil Uses: Explains various uses of starch and fixed oils.
  • Photosynthesis Processes: The details of photochemical reactions, locations (grana vs. stroma).
  • Limiting Factors of Photosynthesis: Explains which factors may limit photosynthesis.
  • Water & Mineral Transport: How water and minerals are transported in plants (phloem/xylem).
  • Cell Transport: Descriptions of active and passive transport (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport) within cells.
  • Types of Adulteration: Explains different types of adulteration in drugs.
  • Antidotes of Poisoning and the components that might factor in

True/False and Multiple Choice

  • Photosynthesis Location: Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts.
  • Photosynthesis Compounds: Starch is high-energy storage in plants..
  • Photosynthetic Pigments: Plant cell components includes components like calcium oxalate crystals as ergastic substances.
  • Photosynthesis Reactions: Dark reactions take place in the grana (stroma, not grana).
  • Photochemical Reactions: Photolysis of water and reduction of CO2 to glucose are considered photochemical reactions.
