Chapter 11 Test Flashcards
The haploid cells used in sexual reproduction
gametes
Angiosperms produce ___________
fruit
Nonvascular plants contain _________
- chloroplasts
- epidermal cells
- spores
These are all necessary for pollination
- anther
- stigma
- pollen
This is a form of stored food in a seed
cotyledon
An underground stem that produces roots and leaves in ferns
rhizome
Organisms that have two of every kind of chromosome
diploid
This vascular plant has been used as an abrasive because of the silica in its cell walls
horsetails
This is a plant that reproduces with seeds
giant sequoia
Plants that grow back year after year
perennial
Two main groups of seed plants
gymnosperms and angiosperms
The order of plant reproduction
pollination, fertilization, seed development
The parts of a moss plant that produces spores
the stalk and capsule
Asexual reproduction in plants includes
root sprouts
Angiosperms produce these
fruit and seeds
Gymnosperms include these
conifers, pines, redwood trees
The three parts of a seed
the embryo, stored food (cotyledons), and a see coat
True mosses are these
bryophytes
The beginning of growth for a new plant
germination
These types of plants do not produce seeds
nonvascular
The pink dogwood is an example of this because it produces beautiful pink flowers
angiosperm
The structures in mosses that anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water
rhizoids
A fern leaf
frond
The vascular plants that produce seeds that are not completely covered
gymnosperms
A sugary liquid that attracts pollinators
nectar
The male gametes of a flower are found here
pollen
The structures in terms that produce spores
sori
The life cycle of plants, in which their are two distinct stages called the gametophyte and the sporophyte
alternation of generations
A mature ovary with seeds inside
fruit
Produces pollen
anther
Receives pollen
stigma
Becomes the fruit
ovary
Protects the flower while it is developing
sepal
Helps attract insects and animals to aide in pollination
petal
Is the entire female reproductive part of the flower
pistil
Is the entire male reproductive part of the flower
stamen
This type of reproduction provides genetic variation
sexual reproduction
This is the largest group of plants
Angiosperms
This part of the plant is often sticky so that pollen easily attaches
stigma
