Flower*1
What is the scientific name for flowering plant?
angiosperm
What is the name given to the male reproductive part of the flower?
Stamen
Name the two parts that makes up the stamen.
anther, filament
certain plant has flowers with bright red petals but no scent. Another plant has dull white flowers that smell strongly like rotting meat. How do these different features help each plant survive and reproduce?
The bright red petals attract pollinators like birds or butterflies that see color well. The dull white, smelly flowers attract pollinators like flies or beetles that are drawn to the scent of decay. Both features help ensure the flowers get pollinated by the right animals.
Name the part of the flower that consists of the most chlorophyll.
sepals
Pollinators, especially bees seeks a sticky substance in the flower. What is the name of the sticky substance found in the flower?
nectar
What name is given to the female reproductive part of the flower?
pistil
name the three main parts that makes up the pistil
stigma, style, ovary
Imagine a flower that has successfully been pollinated and its petals have fallen off. What important change happens next to the ovary of the flower, and why is this change necessary for the plant's life cycle?
The ovary swells and develops into a fruit that encloses the seeds. This is necessary because the fruit protects the seeds and often attracts animals to eat it, which helps scatter the seeds in new places to grow.
In your own words explain how fertilization takes place in a flower.
any suitable response
What part of the flower attracts pollinators?
petals?
which part of the flower develops into the fluit?
ovary
what name is given to a group of petals in a flower?
corolla
During a heavy rainstorm, some flowers close their petals tightly over their center. Why would a flower need to protect its inner parts (like the stamen and pistil) from the rain?
The flower closes to protect its pollen from being washed away by the rain. If the pollen gets wet or washed away, the flower cannot reproduce and make new seeds.
Name one bird that mostly help in pollination. Explain what feature of the bird makes it possible.
hummingbird
Name the part of the flower that protects the flower in the bud?
Sepals
Which part of the flower develops into the seed?
ovules
What name is given to a group of sepals in a flower?
calyx
If a farmer sprays a chemical that accidentally drives away all the bees from an apple orchard while the trees are flowering, what will most likely happen to the apple crop that autumn? Explain why.
The apple crop will be very small or fail completely. Without bees to transfer pollen from the stamens to the pistils, the flowers will not be fertilized, and the trees will not be able to grow apples.
The bee is both a harmfull and helpful insect. Explain why the statement above is correct
explain
What is the name of the powdery substance found on the anther of the flower?
pollen grains
The union of the male and female gamete is cal,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?
fertilization
what name is given to the process of pollen grains being transfered from the anther to the stigma?
pollination
A scientist finds a flower that has anther and filament structures, but is completely missing a stigma, style, and ovary. Can this specific flower ever grow into a fruit on its own? Why or why not?
No, it cannot grow into a fruit. This flower only has male reproductive parts (stamens). A flower needs female parts (the pistil, which includes the ovary) to be fertilized and develop into a fruit.
name one difference between a wind pollinated flower and an insect pollinated flower.
petals, etc any suitable difference
