Flower Power
What part of the flower produces pollen?
Anther
The movement of pollen from the anther to the stigma is called what process?
Pollination
What is the baby plant inside the see called?
An embryo
A dandelion's lightweight fluffy seeds use this method of dispersal (movement).
Wind (Dispersal)
These tiny structures on roots absorb water and nutrients
Root hairs
What is the first level of classification?
Kingdom
This structure receives pollen during polliation
Stigma
What occurs when the male and female reproductive nuclei come together and "fuse" (Merge together)
Fertilization
What is the protective covering of the seed called?
The Seed Coat
A coconut can float to a new location using this method.
Water dispersal
What is the vascular tissue carries water throught the plant called
Xylem
Phylum divides animals by basic body type - what part of the body does it consider
Animals with Backbone and Animals without Backbones
This male reproductive structure consists of the anther and filament - what is it?
Stamen
This tube grows down throught the style towards an ovule - what is this called?
Pollen tube
What is the part of the embryo that develops into the first root?
The radicle
Seeds with tiny hooks stick to other creatures - what is this called
Animal dispersal
What is the vascular tissue that transports sugar made in the leaves called?
Phloem
What is the science of naming and classifying living things?
Taxonomy
This female reproductive structure inclues the stigma, style and ovary. What is it?
Carpel
This cell is formed when fertilization occurs - what is it called at this early stage?
a zygote
A seed has water and oxygen but is in the north pole. What condition for germination is missing?
Warm temperature
A bird eats a berry and later "deposits" the undigested seed somewhere else. This special type of animal dispersal is called what?
Endozoochory
If you examine a tree that has been cut in half and see one very narrow growth ring, what does that suggest about the tree during that year?
It was under some environmental stress and did not grow as fast as other years
What family do humans belong to?
Hominidae
If this flower structure were badly damaged, pollen might reach the stigma but have difficulty reaching the ovary. What structure is this?
the Style
Put these processes in correct order:
seed formation, fertilization, new plant, germination, pollination
Pollination, fertilization, seed formation, germination, and new plant
A newly germinated plant has no functioning leaves yet. What provides the food the plant needs until it can photosymthesize?
Cotyledons
What does (endo) (zoo) (chory) mean in greek translation?
(Inside) (animal) (spreading/moving)
A strawberry plant can produce new plants from runners even though its flowers were never pollinated - what is this process called?
vegetative propogation
