Test 3 Flashcards
What phyla do angiosperms have?
anthophyta
What are angiosperms?
seeded plants that produce flowers and fruits
What type of plants are the most diverse and widespread group of them?
angiosperms
What are the two adaptations unique ot angiosperms?
flowers and fruits
Why did angiosperms adapt flowers?
for specialized sexual reproduction so they can attract pollinators
Do flowers contain male, female, or both parts?
both
How do fruits develop?
from a mature ovary and they contain seeds
Flower definition
a specialized shoot that can have up to four rings of sporophylls
sporophyll
The specialized in leaves that produce and contain spores
Sepals
green leaves at the base of the flower
Stamen- composition
anther and filament that contains microsporangia
Stamen- definition and function
The sticky, receptive surface at the top of the pistil where pollen lands and germinates, initiating the fertilization process
Carpel Composition
stigma, style, and ovary that contains megasporangia
Carpel Definition
The female reproductive organ, also known as the gynoecium or pistil
Microsporangia
structures that produce microspores (male spores)
Megasporangia
structures that produce megaspores (female spores)
How are seeds developed in an angiosperm?
from the ovule if the eggs is fertilized
2 Functions of Fruits
provide protection for the seeds and aid in seed dispersal
Diverse fruit forms are adaptations for…
seed dispersal
Stamen structure from the outside in
stamen, filament, anther, microsporangium, gametophyte, pollen grain, 2 sperm with a tube cell
Carpel Structure from the Outside In
carpel, stigma, style, ovary, ovule(megasporangium), gametophyte, egg with 2 nuclei
Fertilization Steps 1 and 2
pollen released by the anther is carried to the stigma, and then the pollen grain germinates to form a pollen tube that delivers two sperm into the ovule
Double Fertilization
one sperm fertilizes the egg (zygote) and one sperm fuses with the double nuclei cell to form a triploid (3n) cell (endosperm)
Cotyledon
