Term | Definition |
---|---|
Ovule | consists of a megasporangium megaspore and one or more protective integuments- will become the single seed |
megasporangium | structure of plant body that contains a female reproductive organ |
megaspore | larger of the 2 kinds of spores produced by heterosporous plants |
integuments | protective layering |
pollination | transfer of pollen to the parts of a seed plant containing the ovules- getting it to the part of the plant but not fertilization-no longer need water to travel for pollination |
cones | gymnosperms- naked seeds and seeds that are exposed on sporophylls that form cones |
flowers | angiosperms are seed plants with reproductive structures called flowers structure- specialized shoot with up to 4 types of modified leaved function-sexual reproduction |
Sepal | enclose the flower |
petal | brightly colored and attracts pollinators |
stamens | -produce pollen -stalk called a filament -a sac called an anther- which is where the pollen is produced |
carpels | produce ovules |
fruits | structure-typically consists of a mature ovary but can also include other flower parts function- protect seeds and aide in their dispersal -can be fleshy or dry |
filament | long stem leading up to the anther |
anther | where pollen is produced |
carpel | -ovary at the base -style leading up to the stigma -where pollen is received |
ovary | found at the base of the style |
style | between the stigma and the ovary |
stigma | most external piece at the end of the style -where the pollen lands |
cross-pollination | most flowers have mechanisms to ensure cross pollination between flowers from different plants of the same species |
micropyle | ovule is entered by a pore called micropyle |
double fertilization | occurs when pollen tube discharges 2 sperm into female gametophyte within an ovule |
endosperm | one sperm fertilizes the egg while the other combines with 2 nuclei in the central cell of the female gametophyte -initiates development of food storing endosperm |
cotylendons | within the seed the embryo consists of a root and 2 seed leaves called cotylendons |
