What are two advantages of sexual reproduction?

What are two advantages of asexual?

Less energy


Don't have to find a mate

What are two differences in the seed germinationin a typical monocot?

Growth pattern is straight up


Cotyledon stays underground

What are two differences in the seed germination in a typical eudicot?

What are fruits?

A mature plant ovary

What are the three major parts of a seed?

Nutritive Tissue

Are the endosperm andzygote diploid or triploid?

Diploid

Are the endospermmother cell and egg haploid or diploid?

Mother cell: diploid


Egg: haploid

How many cells andnuclei are found in the embryo sac?

7 cells


8 nuclei

How many rounds of cytokinesis occur?

6

How many rounds mitosis without cytokinesis occur?

3

How many megaspores are created from one megaspore mother cell?

4 but only one survives

What are generative cells?

Pollen grain that divides to produce two male gamete nuclei

What are tube cells?

Create the pathway for the generative cell to travel to the ovule

How many pollen grains are created from one microspore mother cell?

4


Two cells present in a typical pollen grain

What is endosperm?

The part of a seed that acts as a food store for the developing plant embryo, usually containing starch with protein and other nutrients

What are the ovules?

The part of the ovary of seed plants that contains the female germ cell and after fertilization becomes the seed

What is double fertilization?

The formation of a diploid zygote and a triploid nucleus

How are embryo sacs produced?

Megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis and creates a megaspore within the ovule




Megaspore then undergoes three rounds of mitosis without undergoing cytokinesis




Then undergoes six rounds of cytokinesis creating a mature embryo sac which consists of six eggs and an endosperm mother cell

How are pollen grains produced?

Microspore mother cell undergoes meiosis and creates microspores within the anther




Each spore then undergoes mitosis to become multicellular




Multicellular gametophyte(pollen) is then ready to be released

What is germination?

The process by which a plant grows from a seed

What is fertilization?

Fertilization is the process of fusion of the male and female gametes to develop a new individual

What is pollination?

Process by which pollen is transferred from the anther (male part) to the stigma (female part) of the plant

Lifecycle of a generalized angiosperm?

Fertilization occurs in an ovule




The ovary develops into a fruit




The ovule develops into the seed containing the embryo




The seed then germinates in a suitable habitat




Embryo develops into a seedling and grows into a mature plant

What is the Carpel made up of?

Stigma


Style


Ovary

What is the Stamen made up of?

Anther


Filament

Four types of leaves in flowers?

Sepal


Petal


Stamen


Carpel

What is the function of Sapwood?

Transports xylem fluid(sap)

What is the function of Heartwood?

stores resins and wastes


made up of old layers of secondary xylem


secondary phloem near the vascular cambium and transports sugars

What is the function of Wood Rays?

transport water and nutrients


store organic nutrient


aid in wound repair

What is the function of Bark?

Provides protection for the tree

What is Cork cambuim?

The region that produces additional cells for secondary growth


Adds cork to the exterior

What is wood?

secondary xylem produced by the lateral meristem

What is Secondary growth?

Growth in thickness of stems and roots

What is the Lateral Meristem?

area that lies between primary xylem and phloem that helps with lateral growth

What is the Vascular Cambium?

is a plant tissue located between the xylem and the phloem in the stem and root of a vascular plant, and is the source of both the secondary xylem growth (inwards, towards the pith) and the secondary phloem growth (outwards to the bark)

What is the function of the root cap?

Dense tissue to protect the zone of cell division

What are the different zone of the root tip?

cell division


elongation


differentation

What is the Meristem?

growth tissue

What is primary growth?

growth in the up and down directions

Function of Parenchyma?

Metabolic functions of the plants


One thin cell wall

Funtion of Collenchyma?

Provide flexible support in growing parts of the cell


Have one thickened primary cell wall

Function of Sclerenchyma?

Dead cells provided support for phloem


Contain a thick secondary cell wall made up of ligin

What are Tracheids?

Xylem cells that are tapered shaped

What are Vessel Elements?

Xylem cells that are more cylinder like

What are Sieve-tube elements?

Functional unit of phloem that living and move nutrients within the plant

What are companion cells?

Perform routine functions of the cell including getting the sugars to other locations

What are Sieve plates?

ending plates to sieves tubes

What is Epidermis?

Outer layer

What is the cuticle?

Waxy outer covering to prevent water loss

What are Guard Cells?

The surrounding of the stoma opening

What are Stomata?

The openings on the underside of the plant that allows the exchange of O2 and CO2

What is Mesophyll?

leaf ground tissue

What is the pith?

Ground tissue toward the center of the stem

What is the cortex?

Ground tissue toward the outside of the stem

What is a vascular cylinder?

Area that contains both xylem and phloem in the center of the plant

What are the veins?

The ways to move materials throughout the plant(xylem and phloem)

What is xylem?

Moves water in the leaf from root to shoot

What is Phloem?

Moves sugars in the leaf from root to shoot or vice versa

What is the Endodermis?

One cell layer around the vascular cylinder barrier that prevents osmosis

What are Vascular Bundles?

Group of tissue that includes xylem and phloem

What are the three plan tissue systems?

Ground


Dermal


Vascular

What is the function of root hairs?
