Structures #1
These parts of an angiosperm are the modified leaves that are brightly colored and good smelling for the attraction of pollinators
Petals
This tissue transports WATER throughout the plant.
Xylem
Are the offspring in sexual reproduction just similar or identical to the parents?
Similar
This section of the leaf contains chlorophyll-rich plant cells; it is the majority of the leaf.
Blade
What are the 2 types of stems?
Herbaceous and woody
This is the female structure of a flower.
Pistil/Carpel
This is the male part of the flower.
Stamen
In this stage of alternation of life cycles, the fusion of gametes creates a diploid organism.
Sporophyte (produces SPORES)
These leaf features allow for the flow of water and nutrients through the leaf.
Veins
Is this a monocot or dicot: 9 petals, parallel leaf venation, fibrous roots.
Monocot
This is where pollen is created.
Anther/microsporangia
This is where you will FIND the eggs of a flower.
Ovary
In this stage of alternation of life cycles, gametes form from the mitosis of spores.
Gametophyte (produces GAMETES)
This is the central vein that runs down the middle of the leaf.
Midrib
What are the 2 types of leaves?
Simple and compound
This is where the pollen tube forms.
Style
This is what turns into the fruit of a plant.
Ovary
When pollen grains land on the stigma, this stage has begun.
Pollination
This section of the leaf serves as the point of attachment to the stem.
Petiole
List the stimulus in this 5 types of plant response: Phototropism, Hydrotropism, Gravitropism, Thigmotropism, Chemotropism
Light, water, gravity, touch, chemicals
This tissue transports FOOD back to the roots.
Phloem
This female part of the flower is sticky so pollen grains can land on it.
Stigma
In this stage, the pollen tube forms, transporting the pollen to the egg.
What is fertilization?
The term for the movement of water through a plant/off of a plant via evaporation.
Transpiration
Double fertilization: when both sperm cells are discharged from the pollen grain, one fertilizes the _______; the other fertilizes the ________.
Polar nuclei; ovule/egg cell
