1634931301The AlgonquiansCoastal Indian peoples who enjoyed a prosperous livelihood dependent on farming, fishing, and hunting from small, one to two dozen communal house, villages. The group encountered by the English at Roanoke was led by chief Wingina.0
1634931302The English and the Algonquins at RoanokeWingina welcomed the English colonists as potential allies in his goal to extend his authority over others. He allowed settlers financed by Walter Raleigh to form a settlement on Roanoke Island, as well as sending two of his men to aid them (Manteo and Wanchese). These two men gave their chief conflicting reports, which created tension. Later on, the settlers were unable to support themselves and also killed many Indians with the European diseases they carried. As Indians grew impatient and hostile, the settlers took matters into their own hands and attacked the village, beheading Wingina and fleeing back to England as the possibility of using Indian labor died out.1
1634931303WinginaChief of Algonquins who was beheaded by English settlers on Roanoke Island in 15862
1634931304European CommunitiesWestern Europe was primarily agricultural. Most Europeans were village people, focused on families which included men who performed basic fieldwork and women who were responsible for childcare, livestock, and food preparation. Daughters typically were married off and lived with the family of her new husband and patriarch, taking a dowry along with her; divorce was almost unknown. Europe's people lived in harsh conditions, subsisting on bread and porridge and hoping to avoid the infectious diseases that killed thousands. These conditions made colonizing the New World a very tempting offer.3
1634931305The Merchant ClassCommerce took off during this time, and a new class of people came about. These people typically travelled from place to place, buying and selling goods for profit.4
1634931306The RenaissanceBegan in the city-states of Italy, which used armed commercial fleets to control Mediterranean trade. Merchants here funded the Crusades, which furnishes these merchants with the silk and spice trades. Also celebrates human nature through architecture, art, and literature.5
1634931307Portuguese ExplorationPortugal is the first European nation to explore distant lands. Prince Henry the Navigator establishes a naval academy. Portugal explores the northwestern African coast for gold and slaves and establishes a sea route to India by sailing around Africa, establishing a trade empire based on spices and slaves.6
1634931308Columbus Reaches the AmericasColumbus proposed sailing west to reach the Indies. Spain, France, and England all reject his proposal, but Spain accepts. Isabel and Ferdinand are hungry for more land. He leaves in August 1492, hitting land in October and thinking he hit the Indies (he reached the Bahamas). Columbus returns, also bringing knowledge of the Atlantic currents, as well as captured native Tainos and stories of gold and spices. Columbus returns with another force and begins to war with the Tainos; there were 300,000 Tainos in 1492, less than 30,000 within fifteen years, and practically eliminated by 1520. The colony Columbus establishes is unable to support itself, and the Spanish have him jailed in 1500. The New World is now known to Europeans.7
1634931309The Invasion of AmericaSpanish explorers plunder the Caribbean Islands, enslaving the native people in a system called "encomienda". Though supposedly a reciprocal agreement, where the new Spanish lords protected the natives for their labor, it was systematic exploitation. The Spanish invade many areas and meet the Aztecs in 1517. The Aztecs were an advanced warrior society with a capital at Tenochtitlan. In 1519, Hernan Cortes lands on the Mexican coast and conquers the Aztec Empire in two years by allying with rival tribes (many of these tribes had been exploited for tributes and human sacrifice) while the Aztecs were facing a smallpox epidemic.8
1634931310The Destruction of the Indies by Las CasasAntonia de Montesinos and Bartolome de Las Casas condemn the violence. No one listens. The Destruction of the Indies (1552) by Las Casas details the Spanish abuses, which is used by other nations to hide their own exploitations, creating the "Black Legend" of Spanish conquest. Las Casas attributed the losses to warfare; in truth, starvation, a dropping birthrate, and diseases (influenza, plague, smallpox, measles, typhus) did most of the damage.9
1634931311Intercontinental ExchangeThis was the exchange of valuable metals (short-term) to Europe, cross-exchange of crops (potatoes, corn, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate, cotton to Europe; sugar, rice, and coffee to the Americas), and the introduction of domestic animals such as horses to the Americas. This exchange included diseases and people as well.10
1634931312The First Europeans in North AmericaPonce de Leon lands in North America in 1513, naming the spot he lands Florida. He is killed in 1521. A second invasion by Panfilo de Narvaez in 1528 is ruined by a shipwreck, with the survivors wandering around until they are found by Spanish slave hunters in 1536. A survivor named Nunez Cabeza de Vaca writes an account that tells of golden cities in an empire known as Cibola. De Soto lands in 1539 in search of Cibola, but he is turned back after a number of defeats (but not before leaving behind disease). De Soto dies on the way. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado leads another expedition, but finds nothing. The Spanish lose interest in the Southwest.11
1634931313The Spanish New World EmpireA century after Columbus, 250,000 Europeans (mostly Spaniards) and 125,000 African slaves settle in Brazil, with the slaves working on Spanish plantations. Brazil is colonized under the Treaty of Tordesillas, an agreement written by the Pope of the time that splits the New World between Brazil and Portugal. Spanish women only make up 10% of the immigrant population; most male immigrants marry or cohabit with native or slave women, creating mixed-ancestry groups that would make up a new racial caste system (a mestizo being a person with a Spanish father and native mother, mulattoes being the other, etc).12
1634931314Northern Exploration: Fish and FursFisherman had been exploring coastal North American waters long before colonies were founded and found that the Grand Banks of the coast of Newfoundland had abundant cod; by 1500 hundreds of ships sailed annually to the Grand Banks. Captain Cartier established France's claims to the land of Canada. Fur Traders were crucial to New France's success, and Indians were active participants in the trade. In the early seventeenth century, the French made an effort to monopolize the trade.13
1634931315The Protestant Reformation and the First French ColoniesThe Protestant reformation refers to the challenge by Martin Luther to the Catholic Church, initiated in 1517, calling for a return to what he understood to the purer practices and beliefs of the early church. John Calvin developed the theological doctrine of predestination, the belief that god decided at the moment of creation which humans would achieve salvation. Protestants were the European supporters of the religious reform under Charles V's Holy Roman Empire. French colony made by Jean Ribault failed because he left to get supplies, but got caught up into religious wars; the colonists starved, resorted to cannibalism, and were eventually rescued by a passing British Ship.14
1634931316Sixteenth Century EnglandLords in England needed to make more money due to "New World" inflation, so they started to take land from farming tenants to graze sheep for the woolen trade. King Henry VIII converted to the Church of England in 1534 with himself at its head. After Henry VIII died, he was succeeded by his son, Edward VI, who died pretty soon; he was then succeeded by his half-sister Mary; Mary tried to undo the reform by killing lots of protestants, she was nicknamed "Bloody Mary."After Mary died, her half-sister Elizabeth I succeeded her, and she tried to end religious turmoil by tolerating a variety of views. She tried to take the Catholic Ireland, but the Irish fought back; their fighting back led the English to view them as a lesser people.15
1634931317Early English Efforts in the Americas SummaryEngland's first voyages in the New World were made with the backdrop of a Spanish conflict. John Hawkins violated Spanish trade laws and then got attacked on a later voyage. England decided to join the hunt for American colonies. Gilbert died on his return to England after sailing to Newfoundland in 1583. His brother Raleigh made a colony at Roanoke which failed and became known as the lost colony. Unlike the French (who focused on commerce), the English decided to take a violent approach to colonization. Spain got mad at England because England took land that was "given" to Spain by the pope.16

1076217175Apoplastic pathway-how water travels to root xylem Apoplast-not including cells -the route followed by water moving through plant cell walls and intercellular spaces122
1076217176Symplastic Pathway-how water travels to root xylem -Symplast-within cells -Water moves from cell to cell through the open channels of the plasmodesmata123
1076217177Plasmodesmata-Are microscopic channels which traverse the cell walls of plant cells and enable transport and communication between them124
1076217178Transmembrane-how water travels to root xylem -water enters root cells across the cell plasma membrane125
1076217179Casparian StripIn the root endodermis, forces apoplastic water to symplast; prevents water and solutes from passing beteen cells into vascular cylinder126
1076217180TranspirationEvaporation of water from a plant, principally from the leaves127
1076217181Root Pressure-A positive pressure in roots that forces xylem sap up; reduces transpiration128
1076217182Guttation-When root pressure is strong enough to force water out of leaf openings129
1076217183Stomata-Regulate the loss of water by transpiration; open/closed by guard cells130
1076217184Guard Cells-Opens and closes the stomata to regulate water loss131

1076217186Phloem SapComposed of water and organic compounds that move through siev tubes133
1076217187SourceAny region of plant where organic substances is loaded into phloem (in)134
1076217188SinkAny region of plant where organic substance is unloaded from phloem (out)135
1076217189Pressure Flow MechanismsMoves substance by bulk flow under pressure from sources to sinks; based on water potential gradients136
1076217190Transport of minerals (Apoplast)Minerals loaded into apoplast of dead xylem in root stele137
1076217191FlowerIn angiosperms-contain the organs for sexual reproduction138
1076217192Whorls-A concentric tissue region; supported by receptacle -Flowers with all 4 whorls are called complete flowers139

1076217206PollinationThe transfer of pollen from male reproductive structures to female reproductive structures in plants153
1076217207MicrosporesEach anther holds a diploid microsporocyte that undergoes meiosis to produce 4 small haploid microspores, that divide by mitosis, producing a haploid male gametophyte-a pollen grain.154
1076217208Pollen GrainA haploid male gametophyte thats is produced when the haploid microspores undergo mitosis155
1076217209Pollen TubeSlender tubular outgrown from a pollen grain that penetrates the ovule and releases male gametes156
1076217210MicropyleAt one end of the ovule there is a small opening- called the micropyle157
1076217211MegasporeA diploid megasporocyte divided by meiosis; forming 4 haploid megaspores. -1 megaspore develops into female gametophyte -embryo sac + egg cell158

1076217213Polar Nuclei2 nuclei, within the same cell, created from the mitotic division of the megaspore during angiosperm reproduction; unite in the ovule to form a fusion nucleus, which gives rise to endosperm when fertilized160
1076217214SynergidsTwo short-lived cells lying close to the egg in the mature embryo sac of the ovule of flowering plants; form in conjunction with the egg cell161
1076217215Self-Incompatibilitythe ability of the plant to reject its own pollen and sometimes the pollen of closely related individuals162
1076217216EpicotylPart of the embryo in a seed that becomes the upper part of the stem and leaves163
1076217217Hypocotylthe part of a plant embryo directly below the cotyledons, forming a connection with the radicle.164
1076217218RadicleEmbryonic root165
1076217219ColeoptileProtects root/shoot apical meristem166
1076217220ColeorhizaProtects the radicle -embronic root- until it breaks out of the seed coat and enters the soil as the young plants primary root.167
1076217221PericarpFruit wall, develops from ovary wall Thick,fleshy - peach Hard,dry- hazelnut168
1076217222Simple FruitsDevelop from a single ovary; pericarp (fruit wall) is fleshy and juicy or thin and dry169
1076217223Aggregate FruitsDevelop from several ovaries in a single flower; made up of many simple fruits attached to a fleshy receptacle(holds flower)170
1076217224Multiple FruitsDevelop from several ovaries in MULTIPLE flowers; individual fruits merge to make a larger structure171
1076217225Specialized FruitsHelps disperse seeds172

1076217229MorphogenesisShapes the new root/shoot parts produced by dividing cells in meristem; shapes plant body.176

Sir Walter Raleigh Flashcards

In 1578, Raleigh sailed to America with explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert, his half brother. This expedition may have stimulated his plan to found a colony there. In 1585, he sponsored the first English colony in America on Roanoke Island (now North Carolina). The colony failed and another attempt at colonisation also failed in 1587. Raleigh has been credited with bringing potatoes and tobacco back to Britain,
