Seed Plants
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| _______________________ consists of an embryo and its food supply, surrounded by a protective coat | seeds |
| compared to seedless plants, seed plants have (increased/reduced) gametophytes | seed plants have reduced gametophytes |
| in (seed/seedless) plants gametophytes develop within sporangia and are fed and protected throughout their life cycle | seed plants |
| all seed plants are (homosporous/heterosporous) | seed plants are heterosporous |
| (Seed/seedless/both) plants have ovules | seed plants have ovules |
| this layer of the sporophyte tissue envelops and protects the megasporangium | the integument |
| the ovule is made up of what three things | 1) megasporangium, 2) megaspore, and 3) integument |
| microspores of seed plants develop into ______________ | pollen grains |
| ______________________ in the wall of the pollen protects the grain as as it is transported by wind or animal | sporopollnin |
| _________________ is the transfer of pollen to part of seed plant containing ovules | pollination |
| in seeded plants egg fertilization (does/does not) require water | seeded plants DO NOT require water for fertilization |
| what organ of the seed plants develop into seeds | ovule develops into seeds |
| comparing seeds to spores, what do seeds have that spores do not have | food supplied |
| cone bearing plants (conifers) are make up most (angiosperms/gymnosperms) | gymnosperms |
| name the four plant phyta that are gymnosperms | 1) cycadophyta, 2) ginkophyta, 3) gnetophyta, 4) coniferophyta |
| only surviving species of the gynkophyta phylum | ginko biloba |
