Term
Definition
Anther   4 pollen sacs  
🗑
Tapetum   Elongated cells inside of pollen sac wall that serve as nutritive tissue for developing gametophyte and will make up the exine  
🗑
Intine   Smooth layer inside exine made up of cellulose and pectin  
🗑
Microsporocytes   Precursors to pollen grains  
🗑
2-cell stage   75% of plants release pollen in this immature stage  
🗑
25% of plants   Let generative cells divide before releasing mature pollen  
🗑
Apertures   Openings in pollen grains  
🗑
Egg apparatus   Synergids plus egg  
🗑
Chalazal end   End of ovule opposite from egg  
🗑
Micropylar end   End of ovule where the egg is  
🗑
Filiform apparatus   Ingrowth of synergid cell walls to form transfer cells  
🗑
Polygonum   75% of plants have this pattern of megasporogenisis and megagametogenesis  
🗑
Megasporocyte   Turns into embryo sac  
🗑
Pollination   Pollen grain transferred from anther to stigma, pollen tube grows down style to ovary, enters ovule through micropyle, penetrates a synergid which breaks down, and both sperm released through pore  
🗑
Double fertilization   One sperm unites with egg to form embryo, and the other sperm unites with polar nuclei to form endosperm  
🗑
Seed coat   Developed from integuments  
🗑
Fruit   Developed from pericarp  
🗑
Pericarp   Ovary wall  
🗑
Fruit   Mature ovary and accessory tissue  
🗑
Fruit function   Protection and dispersal  
🗑
Exocarp   Outer layer of pericarp  
🗑
Mesocarp   Middle layer of pericarp  
🗑
Endocarp   Inner layer of pericarp  
🗑
Simple fruit   Develops from a single ovary  
🗑
Fleshy simple fruits   Mesocarp is at least partly fleshy  
🗑
Berries   Fleshy simple fruit with many seeds and difficult to distinguish endocarp from mesocarp, like tomatoes, grapes, and peppers  
🗑
Pepo   Berry with thick exocarp (rind) like a pumpkin  
🗑
Hesperidium   Berry with leathery exocarp like citrus  
🗑
Drupe   Fleshy simple fruit with a single seed with a hard endocarp (stone) like peaches  
🗑
Pome   Fleshy simple fruit with many seeds and that develops from an inferior ovary so most of the "fruit" comes from receptacle, like an apple  
🗑
Dry simple fruit   Mesocarp is dry throughout  
🗑
Dehiscent   Dry simple fruit that splits at maturity  
🗑
Follicle   Dehiscent that splits along one line  
🗑
Legume   Dehiscent that splits along two lines, like beans or peas  
🗑
Capsule   Dehiscent that splits along 3 or more lines, like cotton or irises  
🗑
Most common dehiscent dry fruit   Capsule  
🗑
Silique and silicles   2 fused carpels that split along 2 sides leaving seeds exposed on a septum between 2 valves  
🗑
Silique   4 times longer than wide  
🗑
Silicles   About as long as wide  
🗑
Indehiscent   Simple dry fruit that does not split at maturity  
🗑
Achene   Indehiscent that has one seed attached at the base of the pericarp and is easy to separate, like sunflower  
🗑
Cypsela   Indehiscent that is an achene-like fruit developed from an inferior ovary  
🗑
Samara   Indehiscent that is like an achene with pericarp extended to form a wing to aid in wind dispersal  
🗑
Schizocarp   Two or more united carpels that partly separate at maturity into one-seeded sections, like carrots  
🗑
Nut   Larger and with a thicker and harder pericarp than achenes, developed from a compound ovary, like acorns  
🗑
Caryopsis   Seed coat tightly fused to fruit wall and can't be separated, like grains  
🗑
Compound fruit   Develops from several ovaries  
🗑
Aggregate   Compound fruit that develops from a single flower with several ovaries, like blackberries and strawberries  
🗑
Multiple   Compound fruit that develops from several flowers within an inflorescence, like pineapple and fig  
🗑
How are fleshy edible fruits dispersed   Resistant seed coat allows them to be eaten then pooped out later somewhere else, with a fertilizer package as bonus  
🗑
Wind dispersal   Seeds either light weight (orchids) or have seed or fruit modifications like wings or plumes  
🗑
Water dispersal   Modified for floating with air pockets and aerenchyma, like coconuts  
🗑
Animal attachment dispersal   Adaptations such as hooked hairs, spines, or sticky substances  
🗑
Myrmecohory   Ant dispersal, produce elaiosomes on outside of seed so ants carry the seeds back to feed queen and when it grows into a new plant the ants protect it as a food source  
🗑
Elaiosomes   Pigmented appendages on seed coats containing lipids, proteins, sugars, and vitamins  
🗑
What plants use ant dispersal   Thousands of plants; in North America most are spring ephemerals  
🗑
Secondary compounds   Not needed for the plant to maintain life, used as protection against herbivory  
🗑
Mustard oil glycosides   Enzymes break down glycosides into toxic compounds that release pungent odors which prevents most insects from eating the plants  
🗑
Cardiac glycoside   Found in foxglove and used to treat heart failure by regulating heart beat  
🗑
Taxol   Alkaloid found in yew and used to treat melanoma and ovarian and breast cancer  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
