Tabla de Contenidos:
- A leaf cell consists of several metabolic compartments
- The use of energy from sunlight by photosynthesis is the basis of life on earth
- Photosynthesis is an electron transport process
- ATP is generated by photosynthesis
- Mitochondria are the power station of the cell
- The Calvin cycle catalyzes photosynthetic CO₂ assimilation
- In the photorespiratory pathway phosphoglycolate formed by the oxygenase activity of RubisCo is recycled
- Photosynthesis implies the consumption of water
- Polysaccharides are storage and transport forms of carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis
- Nitrate assimilation is essential for the synthesis of organic matter
- Nitrogen fixation enables the nitrogen in the air to be used for plant growth
- Sulfate assimilation enables the synthesis of sulfur-containing substances
- Phloem transport distributes photoassimilates to the various sites of consumption and storage
- Products of nitrate assimilation are deposited in plants as storage proteins
- Glycerolipids are membrane constituents and function as carbon stores
- Secondary metabolites fulfill specific ecological functions in plants
- A large diversity of isoprenoids has multiple functions in plant metabolism
- Phenylpropanoids comprise a multitude of plant secondary metabolites and cell wall components
- Multiple signals regulate the growth and development of plant organs and enable their adaptation to environmental conditions
- A plant cell has three different genomes
- Protein biosynthesis occurs at different sites of a cell
- Gene technology makes it possible to alter plants to meet requirements of agriculture, nutrition, and industry.
