Trophic efficiency is

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. The ratio of net secondary production to assimilation of primary production. 
  2.  The percentage of production transferred from one trophic level to the next. 
  3. A measure of how nutrients are cycled from one trophic level to the next. 
  4. Usually greater than production efficiencies

There are the five groups of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins found in plants

Match the following groups of LEA protein with its functional information;

 Group (family name)

                           Functional information

 

I) Group 1

   (D-19 family)

 

 

a) It is an abundant protein in cotton embryos, Each putative dimer of this group may bind as many as ten inorganic phosphates and their counterions

 

 

II) Group 2

    (D-11 family)

 

b) Possibly functions in ion sequestration to protect cytosolic metabolism When LE25 is expressed in yeast, it confers salt and freezing tolerance

 

 

III) Group 3

     (D-7 family)

 

c) In tomato, a gene encoding a similar protein is expressed in response to nematode feeding

 

 

IV) Group 4

    (D-95 family)

 

d) Contains more water of hydration than typical globular proteins Overexpression confers water deficit tolerance on yeast cells

 

 

V) Group 5

    (D-113 family)

 

e) Often localized to the cytoplasm or nucleus More acidic members of the family are associated with the plasma membrane May act to stabilize macromolecules at low water potential

c) AtHSP101 / ClpB, ClpA/C

 

iii) chloroplasts

 

IV) HSP60

 

 

d) AtHSP70 / DnaK

 

iv) endoplasmic reticulum

 

V) smHSP

 

 

e) AtHSP90 / HtpG

 

Match the following HSPs   with their correct location and the examples of the HSPs;

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Phloem loading in the apoplastic pathway thought to mediate the transport of sucrose from the apoplast into the sieve element– companion cell complex. Which of the following  are involved in such sucrose transporting by apoplast?
a) Sucrose is at a higher concentration in the sieve element–companion cell complex indicates that sucrose is actively transported against its chemical-potential gradient
b) Sugars transport from the apoplast into the sieve elements and companion cells energy driven process
c) Phloem loading in the apoplastic pathway involves a sucrose–H+ symporter
d) the route of phloem loading is−mesophyll cells→ bundle sheath cells→ phloem parenchyma cell→ ordinary companion cell→ sieve elements
Which of the following is incorrect?
