Flower anatomy
The colorful part of a flower, meant to attract pollinators.
What is the Petal?
The external membrane of the seed that protects the seed and regulates the seeds function relating to dormancy and germination.
What is the Seed Coat?
The transfer of pollen grains from the male part of a flower to the female part to create a seed.
What is pollination?
The adaptation focused on grabbing a pollinators attention through their sense of vision.
What is Color?
What are fruits?
The pollen producing part of the flower.
What is the Anther?
The largest part of the cell. it acts as energy reserves to feed the developing seed during germination. For Dicots, like Beans, they have two of them.
What is the Cotyledon?
A flowerless plant which has leafy fronds and reproduces by spores released from the undersides of them. They have a vascular system for the transport of water and nutrients.
What are Ferns?
The adaptation focused on grabbing a pollinators attention through their sense of taste.
What is Simple and Sweet?
Or
What is Nectar?
The aerodynamic design allowing them to disperse on gusts of wind and sail through the air.
What are Samaras?
OR
What are Wings?
The flower part that supports the anther.
What is the Filament?
First leaves located on the tip of the Epicotyl. it contains the tissue that will develop into branches and leaves.
What is the Plumule?
A type of plant without tubes that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant body. These types of plants evolved first. Examples of these plants include: Moss, Liverworts, and Hornworts
What are Nonvascular Plants?
The adaptation focused on grabbing a pollinators attention through their olfactory sense.
What is Smell?
The prickly structure that helps them disperse. They can get stuck to socks, shoes and pants of people who walk by. They can also get stuck to the fur of animals in their habitat.
What are Burs?
The flower part that receives pollen to create a seed.
What is the Stigma?
The Embryonic Root of the seed. The first to emerge from the seed when germinating. Anchors the seed into soil.
What is the Radicle?
flowering, vascular plants. They DO require pollination by animals like bees, flies and birds to make their seeds. These include: Monocots, like Orchids, and Eudicots, like Red Maples.
What are Angiosperms?
The adaptation preventing a Plant from accidentally pollinating itself.
What is Barrier?
The fluff around themselves to aid in wind dispersal. These small bristles or fine hairs are ideal for catching gusts of winds and allowing seeds to be carried away. Commonly seen on dandelions.
What is Pappus?
The Flower part that develops into a seed when pollinated.
What is the Ovary?
Early stem of the seed that, when germinating, breaks through the soil to push the new plant up.
What is the Epicotyl?
Non flowering, vascular plants. They do NOT require pollination by animals, they rely on the wind to pollinate them to help them make their seeds.
What are Gymnosperms?
