Q

What are gymnosperms?

A

They are the “naked seed” plant because their seed is hidden away in a enclosed chamber. (think of cones on a tree)

Q

What are carnivorous plants?

A

although they still conduct photosynthesis, they can supplement their diets by capturing small insects.

22
Q

what is the genus of willow?

A

salix

23
Q

What does moss need to fertilize?

A

moss need water because the sperm cannot travel without it.

24
Q

in gymnosperms where is the sporophyte (2n)?

A

The plant is the sporophyte there is no specific part

25
Q

what are pollen cones?

A

they are the male cones that produce pollen. there scales are modified leaves.

26
Q

What are ovulate cones?

A

female eggs are retained in the structure of the cone. they have both modified leaves and modified stem tissues. they are fertilized on the tree and can stay fertilized up for a year before the fertilized seed is released.

27
Q

what is the rhiziod?

A

it is like an anchor, NOT a root. simply keeps them in one spot.

28
Q

what is the sepal?

A

they enclose the flower before it has opened to bloom

29
Q

what do the petals do?

A

They are the interior of the sepal and are brightly coloured to attract pollinators.

30
Q

what are the two fertile organs?

A

Stamen (male part) and Carpels (female part)

31
Q

What is the stamen?

A

Produces microspores that develop into male sperm, consists of the stalk (filament) and a terminal sac (anther) where pollen is produced

32
Q

What are carpels?

A

They produce megaspores that become eggs. This is the structure that distinguishes angiosperm from gymnosperms.

33
Q

What are fertile flowers?

A

contains one or more ovules, which turn into eggs.

34
Q

What are complete flowers?

A

They contain all four parts, stamen, carpels, sepal and petals

35
Q

What are incomplete flowers?

A

They can lack, sepals, flowers, stamens and carpels. Some incomplete flowers are sterile.

36
Q

where does pollen transfer to?

A

to the stigma

37
Q

what is fertilization?

A

The fusion of sperm and egg self pollination vs cross pollination

38
Q

what is wind pollination?

A

pollinators are not needed as the pollen is spread through the wind. They do not need to attract bees or moths so they usually aren’t colorful to smell good.

39
Q

what are mediated pollinators?

A

roughly about 65% of angiosperms require insects for pollination.

40
Q

What are bee pollinators?

A

they are the most important pollinators, They eat the sweet smelling nectar and pollen

41
Q

how does fruit develop?

A

the seeds develop from ovules after fertilization. The ovary wall thickens and the ovary matures into the fruit

42
Q

why are fruits important?

A

fruits protect the seeds and aid in dispersal and can either be fleshy or dry, some dry fruits split open at maturity to release seeds.

43
Q

what is an example of fleshy fruit?

A

Grapes, tomatoes etc.

44
Q

What is an example of a dry fruit?

A

some type of nut like cashews, peanuts.

45
Q

in what way have seeds been adapted/

A

they have seeds that have a ‘propeller’ of some type. as well as burs, that cling onto animals.

46
Q

what are simple fruits?

A

they are derived from one carpal or several fused carpels ex pea

47
Q

what are aggregated fruits?

A

they come from a single flower with multiple clusters, the fruit cluster together. ex Rasputin

48
Q

what are multiple fruits?

A

develops from a group of closely clustered flowers, the ovaries fuse together into 1 fruit, ex pineapple

49
Q

what are accessory fruits?

A

parts of the fruit develop from other floral organs. The ovary only makes up a part of the matured fruit. ex apple

50
Q

what is serotiny?

A

serotiny is just the fact that cones will open for a specific reason?
