Q

Angiosperms

A

Flowering plants

17
Q

Flower anatomy

A
  • Flower: modified shoot system
  • One or more stamen (male) and carpel (female)
  • Perianth = Calyx (sepals/leaves) + Corolla (petals)
  • Receptacle connects flower to pedicel (stem)
18
Q

Stamen

A

Male reproductive organ of flower, contains filament and anther which produce pollen

19
Q

Carpel

A
  • female reproductive sporophyll bearing ovules
  • structures as pistils with ovary, style, and stigma
  • important in fruit development
20
Q

Fruit

A

A mature ovary, seeds and accessory tissue, pericarp (ovary wall) may be highly modified.

21
Q

3 main fruit categories

A

Fleshy, dry, aggregate

22
Q

Female gametophyte

A
  • also called the “embryo sac”
  • seven celled, eight-nucleate structure
  • three antipodal cells, one central cell, two synergid cells, one egg cell
23
Q

Monocot characteristics

A

Embryos, parallel leaf venation, scattered vascular tissue, root system, pollen grain with 1 opening, floral organs in multiples of 3

24
Q

Eudiocot characteristics

A

Two cotyledones, netlike veins in leaves, vascular tissue arranged in ring, taproot, pollen grain with 3 openings, floral organs in multiple of 4/5

25
Q

Root modification

A
  • Radicle: first root to develop –> becomes primary root
  • secondary roots: roots arising from other roots
  • taproot: dominant primary root
  • adventitious roots: roots from non-root organs
  • fibrous root system: withered primary root with subsequent adventitious roots
26
Q

Stem and shoot modification

A
  • Bulb: shoot with some stem/roots, mojority felshy storage leaves
  • Corm: shoot with lots of stem tissues and small leaves
  • Rhizome: horizontal stems underground with scaly leaves
  • cladode: flattened photosynthetic stem
  • thord: sharp pointed stem/shoot
  • spine: sharp pointed leaf
  • prickle: sharp epidermal structure found on the plant
27
Q

Leaf modification

A
  • veins: netlike, parallel
  • shapes: hand shaped, spear shapes, heart shaped, round, needle
  • edges: smooth, toothes, lobed
  • arrangment on stem: alternate, opposite, whorled
  • more… bud scales, spines, tendrils, pitcher/trap leaves
28
Q

Flower modification

A

in response to different methods of pollination

  • purple/yellow: attract insects
  • white and smelly: attract moths
  • brown/purple and smelly: attract flies
  • large and red: attract birds
