Bio 1011 Chapter 30 Flashcards
Ascocarp
The fruiting body of a sac fungus (ascomycete)
Chitin
a polysaccharide within the cell walls of hyphae that also make up the exoskeleton of insects, crustaceans, and other arthropods
ovary
paired organs that produce mature ovum
Eudicot
flower parts are in fours or fives, have two embryonic seed leaves, or cotyledons
micropyle
The micropyle is the small hole in the seed which shows where the pollen tube went into the ovaries.
Fruit
An organ that develops from the ovary of a flowering plant and contains one or more seeds.
Integument
Layer of sporophyte tissue that contributes to the structure of an ovule of a seed plant.
Spore
An asexual reproductive structure that can develop into an adult found in certain protists (algae), plants, and fungi
Zigomycete
A member of a fungal, characterized by the formation of a sturdy structure called a zygosporangium during sexual reproduction
cross-pollination
a reproductive process in which pollen from one plant is transferred to the stigma of another plant .
seed
sporophyte embryo and its food source packaged in a protective coat
sepals
green, leaflike part of the plower that covers and protects the flower bud before it opens
flower
reproductive organ of angiosperm plants especially one having showy or colorful parts
petals
brightly colored structure just inside the sepals; attracts insects and other pollinators to a flower
stamen
male part of the flower; made up of an anther and a filament
carpel (pistil)
the female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary.
filament
the stalk of a stamen that supports the anther
style
the narrow elongated part of the pistil between the ovary and the stigma
ovary
a structure containing egg cells; the base of a pistil in a flower
anther
pollen producing structure located at the tip of a flower’s stamen
Conifers
Gymnosperms
Naked seeds (no ovary)
Seeds Cones (pollen, seed)
Wind pollinated
haustoria
is specialized hyphae that form symbiosis with host and exchanges (mutualistic) or extracts (parasitic) nutrients
cotyledons
A seed leaf an angiosperm embryo. Some species have one cotyledon, others two
mycorrhiza
special symbiotic relationship between fungus and plant root.
