part of the stamen that produces and contains pollen

sits on top of the stalk

28
Q

filament

A

long hair-like stalk that the anther sits on top of

29
Q

petals

A

attracts pollinators

30
Q

sepal

A

green leaf-like parts below petals

protects flower bud

31
Q

receptacle

A

thickened part of stem on which the flower organ grows

32
Q

perfect flowers

A

all female or all male but not in the same flower

33
Q

imperfect flower

A

have both female and male parts in the same flower

34
Q

complete flowers

A

have all the parts of a flower

35
Q

when talking about species; plants with increase in number…

A

increase in similarity

36
Q

stem

A

transports water and nutrients though

37
Q

roots

A

uptake nutrients and water

anchor plant

38
Q

flowers

A

reproductive organ

39
Q

leaves

A

photosynthesis

40
Q

vascular tissues

A

xylem and phloem

41
Q

xylem

A

transports water an nutrients from the roots
goes up
dead

42
Q

pholem

A

carries glucose and ate made in photosynthesis throughout the plant
goes down
alive

43
Q

asexual reproduction

A

new plant formed using the host/parent plant in some way

44
Q

double fertilization

A

when 1 pollen grain travels down a tube created by the tube cell and meets with an ovule. 1 sperm makes embryo and the other becomes the seed coat

45
Q

4 ways to propagate a plant

A

grafting
air layering
ground layering
cuttings (root, stem, leaf)

46
Q

why are fruit trees grafted

A

allows tree to have a good root system and have good fruit
grows can be selective
perfect plant to grow well and produce fruit

47
Q

hormodin

A

initiates root growth

48
Q

photosynthesis

A

allows plant to produce food and thus energy

49
Q

transpiration

A

to get water

50
Q

respiration

A

makes plant self-sustaining

allow plant to get food (energy) at night
