Answer 2

carpels, stamens, petals, and sepals

Question 3

Sepals

Answer 3

modified leaves that protect flower buds

Question 4

Petals

Answer 4

attract pollinators

Question 5

Stamens

Answer 5

male reproductive structure that produces male gametophytes

Question 6

Carpels

Answer 6

female reproductive structure that harbors female gametophytes and receive male ones

Question 7

Eudicots

Answer 7

develop two cotyledons

Question 8

Monocots

Answer 8

develop one cotyledon

Question 9

Cotyledon

Answer 9

embryonic leaf

Question 10

Epicotyl

Answer 10

embryonic shoot

Question 11

Radicle

Answer 11

embryonic root

Question 12

How do seeds enter dormancy?

Answer 12

they dehydrate as they reach maturity

Question 13

Germination process

Answer 13

initiation by water absorption
1. seed coat breaks down and radicle emerges
2. epicotyl emerges from soil and cotyledons photosynthesize
3. epicotyl develops true leaves

Question 14

Answer 14

ovules develop into complete seeds without fertilization

Question 15

Answer 15

a perfect flower containing both carpel (female) and stamen (male)

Question 16
