Describe the reproductive structure, source of nutrition for developing embryo, and enclosure of mature seed for an angiosperm

Reproductive structures: stamen and pistil.


Nutrition: Endosperm


Enclosure of mature seed: integuments from parent sporophyte (placenta)

Distinguish between pollination, germination, and fertilization

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the microsporangia to the stigma. Germination occurs when tube cells expands to make a tube, then generative cells divided into two sperm (at this stage it is not a mature male gametophyte).

Fertilization is when the sperm nuclei fuses with the haploid egg nucleus by the micropyle, forming a diploid zygote.

Some biologists contend that the term double fertilization is a misnomer and that the process should be called fertilization and triple fusion. Why do they argue that the fusion of fusion of the one sperm nucleus and the two polar nuclei are not fertilization.

Because only the egg is getting fertilized to form a zygote. The two polar nuclei are not getting fertilized to form an organism, rather they will only produce endosperm that will serve as food for embryo.

What does angiosperm mean?

vessel seed. refers to seeds borne w/i a fruit

What are the sterile parts of the flower?

Corolla and calyx

What are the stamens? What do they contain?

Microspore-bearing leaves, or microsporophylls. They contain anthers, which contain microsporangia (pollen sacs).

What are carpels? How can you distinguish how many carpels are in a flower?

Megasporophylls. By counting how many lobes of the stigma there are.

What are two groups of flowers?

Monocotyledons, which usually have flower parts in multiples of threes. Dicotyledons have parts in multiples of four or fives or multiples thereof.

Monocots and diocots

What does microsporangium in angiosperms contain?

Depending on the stage, either a diploid microspore mother cell or haploid microspores, which develop into pollen grain.

How many cells do pollen grain contain?

Only two cells, the large tube cell and the smaller generative cell.

What does each ovule contain in angiosperms?

Megasporangium, the outer cell layers of which forms two flaps of tissue called integuments.


Diploid megaspore mother cell

Micropyle

The small opening that remains after integuments envelop megasporangium in angiosperms.

What does a megaspore mother cell produce in angiosperms?

After meiosis, it produces four nuclei, now called the female gametophyte (embryo sac). three nuclei fuse, forming one 3n nucleus, and one 1n nucleus.

Why do they call the mature female gametophyte of angiosperms a seven-celle, 8 nucleate gametophyte?

Because it contains two polar nuclei (one triploid, one haploid), egg cell (haploid), central cell

What happens when the male gametophyte in angiosperms release their two nuclei?

One fuses with an egg to form a zygote. The other fuses with the polar nuclei to form the endosperm mother cell, which will then form the endosperm (tissue to nourish embryo).

This is called Double Fertilization.

What are the four stages of embryo development in angiosperms?

1. Globular stage (large basal cell active in uptake of nutrients for embryo)


2. Heart-shaped stage (you can distinguish cotyledons)


3. Torpedo stage (Embryo elongated)


4. mature embryo

What are mature ovaries and ovules called in angiosperms?

Fruit is a mature ovary. Seed a mature ovule.

Define annual plants, biennials, and perennials.

Annual plants complete their life cycle in their growing season. Biennials grow vegetatively during first growing season, and don't produce flowers or seeds until the second growing season. They both die after seeds are produced.




Perennials live several years, time b/w germination and flowering varies. They do not die after producing seeds.

Diploblastic

Triploblastic

Having ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm

Mesoderm

Holds gut in place

Protonephridia

Describethree ways that sponges reproduce.

1. Asexual:They can reproduce by budding.


2. Sexual: Malegametes can be released into the water and absorbed by a female sponge, whichthen produces amphibalstulate larvae. They can be excreted from the osculum.


3. Asexual:Some species can produce internal buds called gemmules.

Contrast (show the differences using completesentences) the digestive systems of free-living and parasitic flatworms structurally and functionally.
Free-livingflatworms do not live inside a host like parasitic flatworms do. They need tofind their own food. As a result, free-living flatworms have larger branchingguts with enzymes to break down food. Parasites absorb nutrients that arealready broken down in a host fairly easy, so the digestive system becomesreduced and no longer greatly branched.

Which phylums have an incomplete gut?

Cnidarians and Platyheminthes
