Cards

Term
Flower
Definition
Reproductive shoots of angiosperm sporophytes with four whorls of modified leaves called floral organs
Term
4 Floral Organs
Definition
Sepals, petals, stamens, carpels
(Attached to part of the stem called receptacle)
Term
2 Reproductive Floral Organs
Definition
Stamens and carpels
Term
2 Sterile floral organs
Definition
Sepals and petals
Term
2 parts of a stamen
Definition
Stalk called the filament
Terminal structure - anther
Term
What does the anther produce?
Definition
Within the anther are microsporangia (pollen sacs) that produce pollen
Term
What are the 3 parts of a carpel?
Definition
Ovary (contains ovules), style, and stigma
Term
Stigma
Definition
Sticky structure that captures pollen
Term
Complete flower
Definition
Has all 4 floral organs
Term
Incomplete flower
Definition
Lacks one or more of the floral organs
Term
Anther contain 4 what?
Definition
Microsporangia or pollen sacs
Term
What is within microsporangia?
Definition
Diploid microsporocytes
Term
What do microsporocytes form after mitosis?
Definition
Haploid male gametophyte
Term
What are the 2 cells that make up a haploid male gametophye?
Definition
Generative and tube cells
Term
What are generative and tube cells together called?
Definition
Pollen grain
Term
What is within the ovule?
Definition
Megasporangium
Term
What are the 2 layers that protect the megasporangium called?
Definition
Integuments
Term
What is the gap in the integuments called?
Definition
Micropyle
Term
What is the cell that undergoes meiosis within the megasporangium called?
Definition
Megasporocyte
Term
The megasporocyte divides into 4 haploid what after meiosis?
Definition
Megaspores (only one survives)
Term
How many haploid nuclei are in the megaspore after 3 rounds of mitosis?
Definition
1 cell with 8 nuclei
Term
What are the 3 kinds of cells in the multicellular female gametophyte?
Definition
Antipodal cells (3), polar nuclei (2), egg (1), synergids (2)
Term
Together, what are those 8 cells callled?
Definition
Embryonic sac
Term
Endosperm
Definition
Food storing tissue of the seed
Term
Double Fertilization
Definition
Union of 2 sperm cells with different nuclei of the female gametophyte
Term
What is the purpose of double fertilization?
Definition
Ensures that the endosperm develops only in ovules where the egg has been fertilized preventing wasted nutrients
Term
What develops into the fruit?
Definition
The ovule develops into a seed and the ovary develops into a fruit
Term
What are the 2 cells after the first mitotic division of the zygote?
Definition
Terminal and basal cells
Term
Hypocotyl
Definition
Below where the cotyledons attach, the embryonic axis
Term
Radicle
Definition
Embryonic root
Term
Epicotyl
Definition
Above cotyledons attaching point, below mini leaves. Part of the embryonic axis
Term
Scutellum
Definition
Monocot cotyledon
Term
Coleoptile
Definition
Protective sheath of grass seed, covers young shoot
Term
Coleorhiza
Definition
Protective sheath of grass seed, covers young root
Term
Imbibation
Definition
Uptake of water due to the low water potential of dry seeds
