| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Flowering plants that produce fruits | Angiosperm |
| What Linnean classification is Angiosperm | not actual taxonomic rank |
| Division name of Angiosperms | Anthophyta |
| Two major clades or classes | Monocot and Eudicot |
| a flower is... | an aggregation of specialized leaves of determinate growth |
| ring of specialized leaves on a flower | whorl |
| attachment site of leaves on flower | receptacle |
| outermost whorls on a flower | sepals |
| all sepals together are called | calyx |
| whorl above sepals | petals |
| entire group of petals is called | corolla |
| all sepals and petals together | perianth |
| third layer of whorls from the bottom, modified microsporophylls. | stamens |
| two parts of the stamen | filament (stalk) and anther (pollen producing) |
| all stamen of the flower together | androecium |
| fourth layer of whorls, innermost, modified megasporophylls | carpels |
| encases one or more ovules in a flower | carpel |
| all carpels together collectively called | gynoecium |
| one or more carpels, distinct or fused, make this structure | pistil |
| three parts of the pistil | stigma, style, ovary |
| 4 whorls on one flower is consider a _____ flower | complete |
| 3 or less whorls on one flower is consider a _____ flower | incomplete |
| has both stamens and pistils on the same flower | perfect flower |
| produces seperate staminate and carpellate flowers on the same plant | monecious |
| produces individual plants with either staminate or carpellate flowers. | dioecious |
| two types of symmetry on plants | regular or actinomorphic |
| one or two _____ determine monocot or eudicot | cotyledons |
| representative genus of monocot | Lilium |
| ripened ovary (not ovule) | fruits |
| three types of simple fruits | berry, pome, drupe |
| simple fruit with one seed surrounded by a hard outer covering (olives, cherries, peaches, coconut) | drupe |
| ovary with many seeds, thick rind, leathery oily skins. (grapes, watermelon, lemons, tomato) | berries |
| develop in part from the surrounding flower tissues. (apples, pears) | pomes |
| series of unfused carpels, unicarpellate pistils. | aggregate |
| fused ovaries of mutliple flowers | mutliple |
| no fleshy material around seed, one ovary. (broad category) | dry fruits |
| two categories in with dry fruits are categorized | split when mature, do not split when mature |
| splitting fruits | legumes, capsule |
| do not split when mature fruits | achene(sunflowers), caryopsis(wheats), sumaras(winged seeds), nuts |
| ripened ovule (not ovary) | seed |
| place at which the pollen tube enters the ovule | microphyle |
| how is triploid endosperm tissue created? | from double fertilization (sperm fuses with egg and nuclei in embryo sac) |
| wall of fruit name | pericarp |
