Q

What is Fertilization

A

The process when male pollen grain enzymatically ‘drills’ a pollen tube down the style to the ovary, and then fuses with or fertilizes a female ovum to form a single-called zygote

25
Q

What is the fruit

A

The enlarged fleshy ovule which contains the seed that developed from the zygote

26
Q

What is essential for germination?

A

Water

27
Q

I gat is geotropism

A

When after germination of the seed the shoot hews upward and the root grows downward

28
Q

What are cotyledons/seed-leaves

A

The first leaf/leaves to grow

29
Q

What are monocotyledons

A

Have one cotyledon or seed-leaf

Plants such as grasses and irises

30
Q

What are dicotyledons

A

Have two cotyledons or seed-leaves

Are plants such as roses and carrots

31
Q

What is gametophyte

A

The haploid/monopolid organism

Usually The smaller plant

32
Q

What is sporophyte

A

The diploid organism

Usually the larger plant

33
Q

What is this Alternation of generations

A

The alternating forms of organism produced- gametophyte and sporophyte

34
Q

Which two parts helps protect the flower bud

A

The sepal and the petals

35
Q

Which two parts connects the flower to the rest of the plant

A

The stem and the receptacle

36
Q

Order of plant reproduction

A

Pollination
Fertilization
Seed dispersal

37
Q

What is the opening to the ovary called?

A

Micropyle

38
Q

How many males cells enters the the ovary?

A

2

39
Q

What does the male sex cell do when they enter the ovary?

A

One male sex cell fuses with the female egg fertilizing it and the other one attaches to two cells in the embryo sac forming an Endosperm

40
Q

What is the function of the roots

A

To take in water and minerals for the plant
Anchor plant
Store food
Absorb nutrients from soil

41
Q

What does the root hairs do?

A

Increase the surface area for more water absorption

42
Q

What is the function of the stem

A

To use their vessels to transport sap and water throughout the plant

43
Q

What is sap?

A

Sap is a nutrient rich fluid that contains a lot of sugar

44
Q

What is photosynthesis

A

The process when leaf cells containing chlorophyll take in carbon dioxide and water and using sunlight make sugar and oxygen

45
Q

What is transpiration

A

The loss of water from the leaf. This helps to draw water up through the plant from the roots

46
Q

What is the upper and lower epidermis

A

Protective layers on the upper and lower sides of the leaf

47
Q

What is the cuticle

A

Waxy layer on the upper epidermis to reduce water loss

48
Q

What is palisade cell layer

A

Layer without chloroplasts beneath the upper epidermis

49
Q

What is the spongy mesophyll layer

A

Layer beneath palisade layer containing chloroplasts which photosynthesise sugars also contains veins carrying xylem and phloem and many air spaces got exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen

50
Q

What is the stoma (stomata)

A

Pores in the lower epidermis that are surrounded by bean shaped guard cells that contain chloroplasts

51
Q

What is the organ of reproduction in flowering plants

A

The flower

52
Q

When does pollination occur

A

When pollen is transferred by insects or wind from the anther to the stigma

53
Q

Water lives from the root up to the leaf because of……

A

Capillary action

54
Q

How does monocot leaves look?

A

Parallel veins

Long/slender blades

55
Q

How does dicot leaves look?

A

Branched veins

Broad shaped

56
Q

How are the stems for monocots?

A

Vascular bundles scattered throughout

Most vascular bundles near edge of stem

57
Q

How are dicot stems?

A

Vascular bundles arranged in a ring

58
Q

How many petals does a monocot have?

A

3

59
Q

How many petals does a dicot have?

A

4 or 5

60
Q

What kind of roots does monocots have?

A

Fibrous roots

61
Q

What kind of roots does dicots have?

A

Tap roots

62
Q

Are most monocots herbaceous?

A

Yes
