QUIZ 2 Flashcards
Reproductive organ of the plant; gives rise to the fruit.
FLOWER
Two large group of spermatophytes.
GYMNOSPERMS AND ANGIOSPERMS
Evolutionary order and more primitive group, no class on their own but enclose two real classes that do not have the same ancestors: (1) conifers and (2) cycadeans.
GYMNOSPERMS
Usually seen as the original flowering plants, do all belong to just one class, represent the overwhelming majority of species
ANGIOSPERMS
Calyx and corolla
PERIANTH
Sepals (protects growing buds)
CALYX
Petals (attracts pollinators)
COROLLA
The male reproductive organ comprising of the stamens with each stamen consisting of a filament and an anther.
ANDROECIUM
Strerile stamens
STAMINODES
The female reproductive organ which includes the carpel which is made up of the ovary and stigma (contain one or more ovules).
GYNOECIUM
Each carpel forms a pistil
APOCARPY OR CHORICARPY
Several carpels form a pistil ; one or more carpels maybe combine to a pistil (ovary, style, and stigma)
COENOCARPY
made up of enlarge ovary (with embryo sack), a columnar style, and distal stigma (receives the pollen)
PISTIL
flowers that contained both androecium and gynoecium; eg. papaya
ANDROGYNOUS OR HERMAPHRODITIC
both male and female flowers live on one plant; eg. corn (tassel is the male part and the silk is the female part); squash
MONOECIOUS
plants with male and female flowers borne on separate plants; eg. pili nut (canarium ovatum)
DIOECIOUS
all four floral organs (sepal, petal, stamen, and pistil) are present in the same flower structure, eg. gumamela or china rose (hibiscus rosa-senensis )
COMPLETE FLOWER
lacks any one or more of these parts; eg. grasses
mainly wind pollinated and are incomplete, lacking both sepals and petals
relying on wind to accomplish pollination, there is no need for these organs to attract pollinators
INCOMPLETE FLOWER
flowers that contain both sexual parts (stamen and pistil)
PERFECT OR BISEXUAL FLOWERS
contain either stamen or pistil (regardless of whether they lack sepals or petals)
IMPERFECT OR UNISEXUAL FLOWERS
bear stamens only
STAMINATE FLOWERS (MALE FLOWER)
bear pistils only
PISTILLATE FLOWERS (FEMALE FLOWER)
when the two organs mature at different time (stamen and pistil)
DICHOGAMOUS
are those in which the stamen matures ahead of the pistils so that by the time that the stigma becomes receptive, the pollen grains with the same floral structure are already shed
PROTANDROUS FLOWERS
the stigma is protogynous flowers, as in the water lilies (nymphaea spp.), becomes receptive while the pollen grains are still immature
PROTOGYNY
plants self-pollinate within the same flower (autogamy); further divided based on their opening or closing during the pollination period (pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from an anther to a stigma)
AUTOGAMOUS
are open during the period of pollination and are generally cross-pollinated
CHASMOGAMOUS FLOWERS
flowers do not open during the period of pollination and thus these plants are largely self-pollinated. eg. tomato, lettuce, and some rice species
CLEISTOGAMOUS FLOWERS
a part of the flowering plant that derives from the specific tissues of the flower, one or more ovaries, and in some cases accessory tissues
FRUIT
eucarp; mature or ripened ovary develop after fertilization. eg. corn and mango
TRUE FRUITS
pseudo-carp; from floral parts other than the ovary (eg. peduncle-cashew; thalamus-apple; perianth-mulberry; whole inflorescence-jackfruit)
FALSE FRUITS
develop from a single flower having one or more separate carpels, and they are the simplest fruits
APOCARPOUS FRUITS
develop from a single gynoecium having two or more carpels fused together
SYNCARPOUS FRUITS
