Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Tonoplast

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Tonoplast”,”exam”:”Do not confuse tonoplast with the plasma membrane (plasmalemma).”}

  • Protoplast

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Protoplast”,”exam”:”Plasmolysis pulls the protoplast away from the wall.”}

  • Plasmodesmata

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Plasmodesmata”,”exam”:”Apoplast = walls and spaces; symplast = cytoplasm linked by plasmodesmata.”}

  • Mitochondrion

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Mitochondrion”,”exam”:”Non-green tissues and night-time metabolism rely on mitochondrial ATP.”}

  • Middle lamella

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Middle lamella”,”exam”:”Fruit ripening softens pectin in the middle lamella, so tissues fall apart.”}

  • Dictyosome

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Dictyosome”,”exam”:”Cytokinesis in plants depends on Golgi-derived vesicles.”}

  • Chloroplast

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Chloroplast”,”exam”:”Chloroplasts have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes (endosymbiotic origin).”}

  • Cell wall

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Cell wall”,”exam”:”Plant walls = cellulose; fungal walls = chitin; bacterial walls = peptidoglycan.”}

  • Amyloplast

    {“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Amyloplast”,”exam”:”Leucoplasts include amyloplasts (starch), elaioplasts (oil) and aleuroplasts (protein).”}

  • True or false: Morphology describes external form (shape of leaves, flowers, habit).

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:145,”topic”:”Areas Of Study”,”choices”:[“True”,”False”],”correct”:0,”type”:”true_false”,”explain”:”Morphology is form; anatomy is internal structure.”}
