economic importance of angiosperms (5)
food, wood, oils and waxes, drugs, medicines
Angeios=greek for what?
vessel (container)
the 4 sets of modified leafs in a flower:
sepals, petals, stamens, & carpels.
Ovules are encased in a ___. Eventually develop into___.
ovary, seeds
coevolution
when an evolutionary change in one organism leads to an evolutionary change in another organism that interacts with it.
seasonal
perennial
live for a year, then die.
annual
size of flowers that rely on wind pollination
tiny: oak tress, maple trees, corn, grasses
flowers that rely on animal pollination
showy petals to attract, fruit to reward.
The four sets of modified leafs in flowers:
1. sepals
2. petals
3. stamens
4. carpels
protect floral parts in the bud
sepals
attract pollinators
petals
anthers and filaments
stamens
form the pistil (stigma, style, ovary)
carpels
flower sporangia
ovules
leaves modified to hold spores
sporophylls
leaves modified to hold leaves.
"carp"=fruit
carpels
fusion of several carpels along the midrib of the modified leaves
pistil
highly modified sporophylls
stamens
each holds 4 microsporangia
anther
becomes multicellular pollen grain
microspores
male gametophytes
pollen grains
Microspore mother cell
divides by meiosis to form 4 1n microspores
biopolymer that protects pollen grains
sporopollenin
Megasporangia
where megaspores develop
where are the megasporangia located?
inside the ovary, at the base of the pistil
foliar theory of the carpel
edges of the leaf folded over and fused together to form a protective chamber
megasporangium + integument. becomes seed.
ovules
pericarp
ovary wall. develops into fruit
megaspore mother cell
divides by meiosis to form 4 haploid megaspores
the forth megaspore daughter cell, after dividing 3 times by mitosis, becomes a large cell with 8 nuclei called the___
embryo sac
embryo sac
the female gametophyte
long tube that grows out of pollen to penetrate the pistil and reach the ovary
pollen tube
tube nucleus
takes care of two sperm nucleus
two sperm nucleus
1 fertilized middle 2n nucleus to form endosperm

1 fertilised polar 1n nucleus to make seed.
seed within. forms nutrition for embryo
endosperm
double fertilization
one sperm fuses with the 2N nucleas to make 3N nucleus, the other fertilizes with egg.
develops into the seed coat
integument
develops into fruit
ovary walls
the stock for the anther
filament
the stock for the stigma
style
the top of the pistil
stigma
the top of the stamen
anther
the result when the cross walls between two pairs of microsporangia break down.
two pollen sacs
made the "folair theory of the carpel"
Goethe
