Leading Questions In your lab notebook answer the following:  What environmental factors are required for a plant to sprout?  What environmental factors are required for a plant to grow?  What cellular factors are necessary for a plant to grow?

The Simulation for Biology

Roles within the Simulation Farm Hand  Responsible for rolling the dice Agronomist  Looking for causes of mortality  Worksheet #1 Farm Manager  Responsible for rolling the dice  Worksheet #2 Seed Representative  Responsible for determining % error  Worksheet #3

Data Collection  Four-sided is the Environmental Dice  Ten-sided is the Cellular Dice  Roll both the four-sided and ten-sided dice and record values in both  the data table (Worksheet 1) and  the flow chart (Worksheet 2)

Viability – Environmental Die  A roll of 1 with this die represents inadequate environmental factors resulting in death of the plant (D) 1 = DEAD  record a D in data table  A roll of not 1 with this die represents viable environmental factors resulting in the viability of the plant to grow (V) NOT 1 = VIABLE  record a V in data table

Cellular Inhibition Dice  An odd roll of this die represents inhibition (I). The specific inhibitors are represented on Handout 1. ODD = INHIBITED  record a I in data table  An even roll of this die represents normal functioning (N) EVEN = NORMAL  record a N in data table

What was Inhibited?  Using the reference sheet, look-up what is being inhibited  Record in Data Table (Handout 1) What was the effect on plant?  Record in Data Table (Handout 1)

Probability of Viability Information for Handout 3  There are “n” number of trials in which the experiment has taken place  What is the likelihood that the environmental conditions are suitable for plant growth?  10 out of 40 or 25% n=40 10 not viable 30 viable

Probability of Viability  What is the likelihood that inhibition takes place?  because you are using a ten sided dice. The Ratio will be 15 of 30 or ½ n=40 10 not viable 30 viable 15/30

n=40  Four sided die:  A roll of 1 is death  A non 1 roll is viable  10 sided die:  Odd is inhibited resulting in death in one of five ways  Even is normal resulting in growth Theoretical Values Death Viable Growth Inhibition

What is the success rate?  What is the theoretical probability for the success of the plant?  What is the theoretical probability for death by one of the inhibitions?  What were the actual results?  What is the percent error

Follow up  What is an acceptable percent error?  What happened to the percent error as we added in more values?

Reception and Inhibition

Receptor Site Definition: The location of a signal molecule bonding (substrate) to the active site of an enzyme

Receptor Site Specificity Receptor sites are unique:  specific to a certain molecular shape  trigger only under certain conditions  When shut down, malformed, or inhibited, the reaction pathway cannot complete

Why would you want to keep something from catalyzing at the receptor site?

To inhibit enzyme activity - or - to stop specific reaction pathways

Important types of Inhibitors  Enzyme Inhibitors:  Decreases enzymatic activity  Can prevent substrate binding to enzymatic active sites  Reaction Inhibitors:  Shuts down specific reaction pathways  Can prevent catalyst functioning  Can prevent creation of necessary reactants

Lipid Synthesis Inhibitor  Lipids are the building blocks of cell membranes and necessary for all organelle production  Lipid synthesis occurs primarily at the root and shoot meristems where growth is primary Image Source:

Lipid Synthesis Inhibitor  Lipid synthesis inhibitors prevent the development of new lipids for membrane repair, replenishment, and growth  New lipids are required for new cell division and cell growth Image Source:

Cell Membrane Disruptors  Cell membranes in plants are dependent on proper functioning of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) in the photosynthesis process  Cell Membrane Disruptors convert the superoxide (O2-) to H2O2 Image Source:

Cell Membrane Disruptors  These molecules can yield hydroxyl (OH-) ions, the most potent of biological oxidants  Cell Membrane Disruptors overload cellular processes and OH- oxidation can lead to cell membrane lysis and the leakage of cellular contents Image Source: antibacterials-create/ Transmission electron microscopy image of a Streptococcus pyogenes cell experiencing lysis after exposure to the highly active enzyme PlyC.

Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibitor  Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins  Humans utilize 22 standard amino acids, 9 of which cannot be produced by the body  New protein production is prevented by the lack of available amino acids Image Source:

Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibitor  Amino acid synthesis inhibitors prevent the development of new amino acids  The amino acid chain is referred to as the primary structure of a protein Image Source:

Seedling Growth Root Inhibitors  Seedling growth in the roots is highly dependent on rapid cell division in the root meristem  Root elongation and lateral root formation is prevented by these inhibitors Image Source:

Seedling Growth Root Inhibitors  Seedling Growth Root Inhibitors prevent cellular division in meristem regions  These inhibitors prevent microtubule formation Image Source:

Seedling Growth Shoot Inhibitors  Seedling Shoot Growth is dependent on the rapid cell division in the apical meristem of the growing stem as well as the root  The shoot apical meristem is responsible for stem elongation Image Source:

Seedling Growth Shoot Inhibitors  Specific site of action is unknown  Seedling Growth Shoot Inhibitors prevent the elongation and further growth of the seedling shoot Image Source:

Follow up  What keeps a plant from growing?  Is there anything we can do to make plants grow better?  Why is molecular structure so important in biology?
