Term
seed
Definition
consists of an embryo and its food supply, surrounded by a protective coat.
Term

  1. reduced gametophytes
  2. heterospory (mega/microsporangia)
  3. ovules
  4. pollen

Definition
4 characteristics of Seeded Vascular Plants
Term
seed gametophyte
Definition
this structure has been reduced and not visible to the human eye. also it develops from spores retained in sporangia
Term

integument

 

 

gymnosperms have 1

angiosperms have 2

Definition
sporophyte tissue that envelops and protects the megasporangium
Term
ovule
Definition
the whole structure including megasporangium, megaspore and integuments 
Term
pollen grain
Definition
consists of male gametophyte enclosed in pollen wall. this is what a microspore develops into.
Term

pollination

 

 

if germinates, pollen tube form to deposit sperm at egg

Definition
the transfer of pollen to the part of a seed plant that contains an ovule.
Term

  1. multicellular layer of tissue
  2. seed coat provides extra protection
  3. supply of food allows for dormancy

Definition
3 advantages of seeds
Term
progymnosperms
Definition
transitional species of seedless vascular plants that had woody stems but no seeds
Term
conifers
Definition
cone bearing gymnosperms including spruce, pine,fir,redwood,southern yellow pine (paper) and bristlecone pines
Term
ginkgo
Definition

describes this phyla of gymnosperms:

"maidenhair tree"

abundant in mesozoic

pollution tollerant

male part in cone

female part in fleshy seed

possible herbal remedy

Term
cycads
Definition

describes gymnosperm phyla:

short, fat palm trees

abundant in jurrasic

garden ornaments

Term
gnetophytes
Definition
this gymnosperm phyla is the waste basket
Term
angiosperm
Definition
flowering plants that produce reproductive structures (fruits). Most wide spread plant
Term
flower
Definition
angiosperm structure specialized for sexual reproduction
Term
flower
Definition
specialized shoot in angiosperms that can have up to 4 rings of modified leaves (sporophylls)
Term

  1. sepals
  2. petals
  3. stamen
  4. carpels

Definition
4 floral organs
Term
sepals
Definition
located at base of flwer, its green and encloses the flower before it open. also it sterile.
Term
petals
Definition
brightly colored, they aid in attracting pollinators. also sterile
Term

stamen

 

consist of filament and anther

Definition
part of flower that produce microspores that develop into pollen grains containing male gametophyte
Term
filament
Definition
stalk of the stamen
Term

anther

 

 

Definition
terminal sac in stamen where pollen is produced
Term
carpels
Definition
this part of flower makes megaspores that develops into female gametophyte. it contains stigma, style, and ovary
Term
stigma
Definition
tip of carpel that receives pollen (sticky)
Term
style
Definition
stalk that leads from stigma to ovary
Term
fruit
Definition
mature ovary (actual structure) that protects seeds and aids dispersal.
Term

  1. flower
  2. seed with in ovary (fruit)
  3. fiber cells- support
  4. vessel elements- water transport

Definition

how do angiosperms differ from gymnosperms?

(4 parts)

Term
monocots
Definition
angiosperms with one cotyledon. have parallel leaf veins
Term

monocots

Definition
orchids, palms and grain crops are_______
Term

dicots

 

 

problem: polyphyletic

Definition
angiosperms with 2 cotyledons and netlike leaf veins.
Term
dicots
Definition
roses, peas, sunflowers and maples are______
Term
eudicots
Definition
"true dicots"- vast majority of dicots
Term
basal angiosperms
Definition
3 sub-lineages of dicots that include the flowering plants of oldest lineages
Term
magnoliids
Definition
4th sub-lineage of dicots that evolved later
Term

flowers bright blue/red

sweet smelling with nectar

Definition
bees role in flower pollination
Term
flowers dull, white, lack nectar
Definition
beetles role in flower pollination
Term
flowers dull, red and brown, smell like rotting meat
Definition
role of flies in flower pollination
Term
night blooming flowers, white/yellow, sweet fragrance with nectar
Definition
role of moths in flower pollination
Term
flowers bright blue yellow and orange, sweet fragrance with nectrar
Definition
role of butterfly in flower pollination
Term
flower bright red pink or yellow, little fragrance with nectar
Definition
birds role in flower pollination
Term

primarily in tropic
