Flower Fruit Seed Botany Lab Flashcards
A reproductive part of a group of plants called angiosperm
A specialized plant part that occurs singly or in cluster often with colorful Petals and Sepals
Flower
Trimerous or 3 petals or the number of petals are multiples of 3
Monocot flower
Tetramerous or Pentamerous
Petals are multiples of 4 or 5
Dicot flower
Stem of the flower
Peduncle
Base of the flower
Receptacle
Modified leaves which are bright in color thus attract pollination
Petals
Leaflike parts that cover and protect the flower bud
Sepals
Female part of the flower formed from 1 or more carpels
Pistil
Modified leaves
Carpels
Male part of the flower
Stamen
An egg cell
Ovum (ova)
Structures that develops within the ovary of a seed plant and contain the Ovum
Ovules
Part of the stamen that holds the pollen grains and contain the sperm cells
Anther
Developed ovary of the flower
Fruits
How fruits develop
Flower is pollinated
Flower is fertilized, sperm and ovum combine to form embryo
Ovum becomes ovary
Ovary becomes fruit
Inner boundary around the seeds of fruit
Endocarp
Middle layer of fruit
Mesocarp
Skin of the fruit
Exocarp
Thickened wall of the fruit
Pericarp
Monocot fruits
Pineapple
Banana
Coconut
Dicot fruits
Mango
Apple
Orange
Pear
Avocado
Peach
Strawberry
Melon
Types of fruits
Berries
Hesperidia
Pepo
Drupes
Pomes
Follicles
Legumes
Siliques
Capsules
Nuts
Schizocarps
Achenes
Caryopses
Aggregate
Multiple
Encased embryonic plant
Seed
2 basic part of seed
Seed coat
Embryo
Supplies the needed nutrients for the growing plants
Endosperm
Embryo has 1 cotyledon or seed leaf, 2 in dicotyledons and 2 or more in
Gymnosperms
Dispersal by way of wind
Have adaptation such as parachute or winglike structure
Anemochory
Dispersal by way of water
Can survive for a long pwriod at sea
Coconut
Hydrochory
Dispersal by way of animals
Edible or adapted to attach to an animal skin or fur
Zoochory
If seeds dont germinate
Dormancy
Seed has 2 cotyledon
Dicot
Seed has 1 cotyledon
Monocot
Part of the embryo within the seed of the plant
Food source for the growing plant until it can perform photosynthesis and make its own energy
Cotyledon
Develop into stem and leaves
Plumule
Develop into root
Radicle
A scar or a mark left on the seed coat
Hilum
The region of an embryo or seedling stem above the cotyledon
Epicotyl
It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch though it also contains protein and oils
Endosperm
Fleshy fruit
Tomato- berry
Cucumber- pepo berry
Cherry- drupe
Orange- hesperidium berry
Apple- pome
Part of stamen
Anther
Filament
Part of pistil
Stigma
Ovary
Stalk like structure that attaches to the base of the flower and supports the anther
Filament
Found in the center of the flower and helps to collect pollen
Stigma
The stalk that supports the stigma and connects it to the ovary
Style
Leaf morphology
Arrangement
Shapes
Margins
Tips
Bases
Venations
Attachment
Types of roots
Tap roots
Fibrous roots
Adventitious roots
