A

Monocots and Eudicots

19

Random vascular arrangement, “1st leaf”, One cotyledon (embryo), Parallel veins, Pedals mult. of threes, SEED STAYS IN GROUND

20
Q

Characteristics of Dicots (5)

A

Circular vessel arrangement, 2 cotyledon (embryo), Branchy veins, pedals 4 or 5, two “first leaves”, SEE GROWS OUT OF GROUND

21
Q

Flower Anatomy (4)

A

Sepal, Petals, Stamen, Carpel

22
Q

Sepal

A

two leaves enclose the flower

23
Q

Stamen

A

male portion of flower (anther and filament)

24
Q

Carpel

A

Produce ovule-female portion (sigma, style, and ovary)

25
Q

Fruits

A

mature ovaries-protect/disperse seeds (ex: tomato)

26
Q

Capsaicin

A

Directed seed dispersal (spicy food)

27
Q

Angiosperm Reproduction Process (4)

A

1) Pollen grain lands on sigma
2) Flows down by making pollen tube
3) Reaches ovary
4) Double fertilization
