Q

3 basic types of organization of seed plants

A
  1. primary vascular tissues develop as a cylinder of discrete strands separated from one another by ground tissue
  2. primary vascular tissues appear as a more or less continuous hollow cylinder with ground tissues
  3. vascular bundle scattered throughout the ground tissue

Q

pollination methods

A

flowering plants have over come the problem of being immobile (as adult plants) by using a variety of ways to achieve pollination, most of the methods ensure cross pollination between genetically unlike parents

142
Q

what do flowers attract

A

whatever pollinates them

sight, smell, placement, time of day,

143
Q

types of pollination in flowers

A 
insect pollination
   beetle
   bee and wasp
   fly
   orchids
   moth and butterfly
bird pollination
bat pollination
slug pollination
wind pollination
water pollination
144
Q

insect pollinatation

A

insects feed on pollen or nectar, and in process transfer pollen to other plants of same species
allows more precise transfer of pollen

145
Q

beetle pollinated flowers

A

flowers are large and born singularly
beetle highly developed sense of smell
flowers are white in color but highly scented

146
Q

bee and wasp pollinated flowers

bees eat nectar and pollen, have specialized appendages to carry pollen and have body hairs
flowers are highly showy to attract bees, usually blue or yellow, have bilateral symmetry
also may have honey guides

147
Q

fly pollinated flowers

A

“carrion flower” mimic smell of rotting flesh

showy colors or symmetry not needed here

148
Q

orchids

have developed specific pathways into and out of flowers
insure that both stigma and anther contact pollinator
about 40% of orchids advertise a reward that’s not there
some orchids mimic insect so pollinator trys to mate with it

149
Q

moth and butterfly pollinated flowers

A

attracted by combo of sight and smell
butterflys attracted to orange, red, active during day
moths are commonly nocturnal, flowers are often night blooming, strong scents, usually white

150

Q

nectar

A

simple fruit

A

develop from one pistil and one flower

pistil may be simple or compound

aggregate fruit

A

develop from a number of separate pistils in a single flower

individual parts of the aggregate fruit known as fruitlets

171
Q

multiple fruit

A

consist of gynoecium of more than one flower

may also develop from an inflorescence

172

pepo
hesperidium
175
Q

types of dry fruit

A

dehiscent

indehiscent

176
Q

berry

A

many seeded structures with slimy endocarp

entire pericarp is fleshy

177
Q

drupe

A

carpal has one seed, inner layer or endocarp is stony

178
Q

pome

A

flesh develops from cup-like hypanthium that encloses ovary

endocarp usually papery

179
Q

pepo

A

fleshy fruit in which outer layer is a tough hard rind

inner tissues are soft

180
Q

hesperidium

A

modification of berry, outer layer is leathery, usually contains aromatic oils

181
Q

dehiscent fruit

A

fruit wall breaks open at maturity to release seeds

182
Q

types of dehiscent fruit

A

follicle
legume
capsule
silique

183
Q

follicle

A

splits down 1 side at maturity

184
Q

legume

A

splits down 2 sides at maturity

185
Q

capsule

A

more than 2 side of dehiscence

186
Q

silique

A

formed by 2 fused carpels

2 sides of fruit split from a persistent central portion

187
Q

silique

A

long and thin

188
Q

silicle

A

shorter and thicker

189
Q

indehiscent

A

seeds remain in fruit after fruit has been shed

190
Q

types of indehiscent fruit

A 
achene
samara
cypsela
caryopsis
nut
schizocarp
191
Q

achene

A

single seed lies free in cavity except for attachment at one end

192
Q

samara

A

winged achene, pericarp winged

193
Q

cypsela

A

modification of achene, non ovarian (accessory parts included)

194
Q

caryopsis (grain)

A

seed coat is firmly, united for fruit wall

195
Q

nut

A

contains only one seed pericarp is hard and thick

196
Q

schizocarp

A

fruit splits apart at maturity, into 2 or more indehiscent portions

197
Q

fruit and seed dispersal

A

wind borne
water borne
animal borne fruits and seeds (eaten)
animal borne fruits and sees (carried)

198
Q

wind borne

A

light and become easily air borne
often wings or silky extensions
tumbleweeds
some plants are self propulsion to shoot seed out of fruits

199
Q

water borne

A

adapted to float

can be a waxy covering over seed

200
Q

animal borne ( eaten)

A

usually highly colored, fruits are eaten, seeds pass through GI tract of animal
additional benefit partial digestion might help germination by weakening fruit wall or seed coat

201
Q

what happens to animal born fruits and seeds (eaten) at maturity

A

sugar content rises, tannin decreases, fruit softens, color changes from green to yellow, red, blue or black

202
Q

animal born seeds and fruits (carried)

A

other fruits are spread by adhering to fur or feathers have hooks, barbs, or spines.
