Flower Parts
What are the leaf like parts at the base of a plant called?
Sepal
Where is the pollen located?
In the anther
What is the role of a cotyledon?
Store food for the plant to use before it grows leaves to get food through photosynthesis.
What is the biggest, least specific level of classification
Domain
I am a plant with 1 growing season. What classification am I?
Annual
What is the top of the stamen that produces pollen called?
Anther
What female part of the flower does the pollen stick to?
Stigma
What are the 3 parts of a seed?
Embryo, Seed Coat, Endosperm
What is the smallest and most specific level of classification?
Species
Compare Biennial and Perennials
Biennial has 2 growing seasons
Perennials live from year to year and bloom each growing season
What are the two parts of the stamen
Anther and Filament
What is the difference between self pollination and cross pollination?
Self- pollinated by its own grains
Cross- pollinated by grains from another flower
What is the function of the endosperm?
Stores food for the cotyledon
What is the two part naming system called and what are the two parts?
Binomial Nomenclature (genus and species)
What is a plant that no longer depends on the cotyledons for nourishment called?
Seedling
Compare sepal and receptacle
Both are at the base of the petals and both protect the flower. The sepals are the leaves
What is the difference between pollination and fertilization
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma. Fertilization is combining the pollen and the eggs to make a seed.
Compare mechanical and agent dispersal
Mechanical transports on its own
Agent transport uses another "thing" (wind, animal, etc)
What are the three domains
Eukarya, Archaea, Bacteria
What 3 things do seeds require to germinate?
Water, oxygen and favorable temps
What is the female part of the flower called? Name all 4 parts
Female part is the Pistil- stigma, style, ovules, ovary
What is the path of fertilization?
Pollen from anther. Sticks to stigma. Pollen tube grows from stigma to ovary. Pollen travels down tube and attaches to ovary.
What are the 3 parts of the seed embryo?
Plumule (future stem and leaves)
Radicle (future roots)
Cotyledon (absorb and store food)
What are the Kingdoms under the domain Eukarya
Plant, Animal, Protist, Fungi
What the 3 stages of germination
1- seed absorbs water to soften seed coat for oxygen to pass through
2- embryo grows a radicle that pushes in to the ground
3-plumule emerges above surface of ground and radicle grows in to a root system
