31
Q

Where do confer’s plants lives?

A

They are common and extensive in mountain and high-latitude forests.

32
Q

What type of leaves does conifer plants have?

A

a leaf like structures that bear microsporangia which produce pollen.

34
Q

What is the function of cone scale that is found on ovulate cones?

A

They are protective and bear ovules.

35
Q

How do conifers adapt to cold climate?

A
  1. conical shape of tree and flexible branches
  2. scale-like or needle-shaped leaves with a thick waxy cuticle.
  3. most conifers are evergreens.
36
Q

How does the conical sheep of tree help adaptation to cold climate?

A

it helps shed snow

37
Q

How does the scale-like or needle shaped leaves help adaptation to cold climate?

A

The thick cuticle resists water loss in cold, windy conditions.

38
Q

How does the evergreen leaves help adaptation to cold climate?

A

reduces investment in new leaves and allows for some continued photosynthesis during cooler months.

39
Q

what features are shared between angiosperms and gnetophytes?

A

some features such as broad leaves, pollination by insects, and double fertilization.

40
Q

Who is gnetophytes closest to?

A

They are closest to conifers and angiosperms.

it forms the base of a flower at the end of a stem

45
Q

What are the 4 main flowers organs?

A
  1. sepals
  2. petals
  3. stamens
  4. pistil.
46
Q

What is sepal?

A

leaf-like structure that protects flower before it opens.

47
Q

what is petals?

A

colorful structure that may attract pollinators.

48
Q

What does stamens do?

A

they produces and disperses pollen

49
Q

what does pistil do?

produces ovules and receives pollen.

50
Q

what does stamen consists of?

A
  1. Anther

connect stigma and ovary

56

What is ovary?

A

bears megasporangia that produces the ovules.

57
Q

What is perfect flower?

Flowers that have both stamens and carpel.

58
Q

What is complete flower?

flowers that have all 4 flower organs:

  1. pistil
  2. stamens
  3. petal
  4. sepal.
59
Q

What is imperfect flower?

A

flowers that lack either stamens or carpels

60
Q

What is inflorescence flower?

A

They are cluster of flowers grouped closely together on the same stem

61
Q

What are the different ways that is used to transfer pollen?

A
  1. fusion of flower organs
  2. arrangement of flowers into inflorescences
  3. changes in flower symmetry and position
  4. formation of floal tubes and sugar-rish nectar to attract specific animal pollinators
  5. loss of flower organs.
62
Q

What is pollination syndrome?

A

it is flower traits that are specialized for specific pollinators through coevolution.

63
Q

When does angiosperms produce and store seed nutrient in ovules?

A

unlike gymnosperms, only after fertilization.

64
Q

What is the function of endosperm?

A

in a seed, they provide nutrients to embryo and is primarily starch , plus some oils, plant hormones.

65
Q

What is the main function of fruits?

A

they aid in the dispersal of enclosed seeds.

66
Q

What fruits may adapted to?

A
  1. wind dispersal
  2. animal dispersal
  3. floating in water.

What are the three different categories of fruits?

A
  1. simple fruits
  2. aggregate fruit
  3. multiple fruit.
68
Q

What does simple fruit develop from?
