Q

birds pollination: flowers are often …

24
Q

flowers that birds pollinate often don’t smell sweet, why?

A

birds have a bad sense of smell

25
Q

wind pollination plant characteristics

A

don’t have colorful flowers or significant sense or nectar

26
Q

wind pollination requires

A

HUGE amounts of pollen

27
Q

pollen is delivered to

A

sticky stigma

28
Q

pollen tube cells grain grows…

A

a tube down the style

29
Q

generative cell moves …

A

down pollen tube

30
Q

tube fuses with ___ that contains an egg

31
Q

double fertilization: generative cell divides into..

A

2 sperm which enter the ovule from pollen tube

32
Q

sperm fertilize 2 structures:

A

1 sperm fertilizes egg to form 2n embryo

1 sperm combines with 2 polar nuclei to form 3n endosperm

33
Q

purpose of 3n endosperm

A

develops into food for the embryo

34
Q

which develops first: endosperm or embryo?

35
Q

endosperm development: mitosis results in milky fluid with…

A

many nuclei

36
Q

endosperm development: cell walls form, solidifying milky substance into

A

separate ells

37
Q

endosperm stores… for use when embryo germinates

38
Q

embryo divides via

39
Q

embryo development: begins forming…

A

cotyledons

40
Q

embryo formation: forms ____ and ____

A

stem apical meristem
root apical meristem

41
Q

seed dormancy: structures surrounding ovule become

A

protective seed coat

42
Q

seed dormancy: seed becomes dormant with little…

A

metabolic activity

43
Q

seed dormancy: breaks dormancy when

A

environmental conditions are right

44
Q

example of condition requirements to break dormancy

A

Soaking in water; High heat; Freezing; Light; Digestion by animal

45
Q

germination occurs when

A

certain conditions are met

46
Q

germination: embryo must escape

47
Q

imbibition

A

seed absorbs water: water expands seed and breaks seed coat

48
Q

endosperm is digested to provide

A

nutrients for growth

49
Q

stem pulls ___ free of seed coat

A

cotyledons

50
Q

cotyledons are pushed above ground to begin

A

photosynthesis, generating enough energy for further growth

51
Q

____ inside ___ becomes seeds

A

ovules; ovary

52
Q

____ surrounding ovules becomes fruit

53
Q

purpose of fruit

A

disperse seeds and prevent offspring from competing with parent for nutrients

54
Q

seed dispersal: animals

A

 Sticks to animals’ body
 Attract animal to eat seeds in fruit
 Animal forgetting where it hid seeds

55
Q

seed dispersals: wind

A

 Use tufts to catch wind
 Spin to fall slowly
 Glide
