leaves |
|
"Smart Plants" have been produced to warn a grower when a nutrient deficiency is imminent by doing what? |
producing a blue pigment in the leaves |
|
All nitrogen fixing organism are |
Prokaryotes |
|
An Epiphyte _________ |
lives on another plant but does not harm or steal from it |
|
Spongy outgrowths from the roots below and are found in mangroves or swamps where the mud is thick and water logged so roots grow up into the air |

Self-incompatibility |
|
Angiosperms pollination |
occurs via wing in approximately 20% of angiosperms |
|
These dermal cells flank the stomata and regulate the opening and closing |
Guard cells |
|
Flowers and leaves undergo what type of growth? |
Determinate growth |
|
This type of plant tissue is perpetually undifferentiated |
Meristems |
|
What country is the potato native to |
peru |
|
in the film, what was the answer to the problem of monocultures? |
getting away from monocultures and instead promote genetic diversity by planting a variety of crops |
|
According to the Royal Botanic Garden plant biologist, there are approximately 380,000 species of green plants. How many do we get over half our calories from? |
3 |
|
Why does plant diversity equal plant resilience |
More plant species equals higher genetic diversity. Higher genetic diversity allows some speeds of plants to adapt in the face of nature or human caused stressors such as pollution or disease |
|
List four traits which plants share ONLY with charophyte algae: |
1. Rings of cellulose in cell walls 2. peroxisome enymes 3. flagellated sperm structure 4. chlorophyll 5. sporopellenin |
|
study parts of flower circle male structres |
stamen, carpel, anther, stigma, filamen, style, ovary and ovule |
|
label double fertilization Explain double fertilization |
Stigma catches pollen grain and generative cells start to develop the pollen tube to the micropyle of the female gametophytes. The pollen tube contains the male gametophytes (2 sperm). the synersids signal pollen grain and tube to enter into ovule. Once pollen tube and sperm have reached the ovule 1 sperm will fertilize the egg making a zygote. Second sperm will fertilize the 2 polar nuclei making it an endosperm. The endosperm provides nutrients for the ovule and is not considered a seed. The endosperm prevents the zygote to spurge. |
|
What conditions will cause the plant to flower |
The amount of hours exposed to sunlight doesn't matter, what matters is the amount of darkness they receive. (short Nights) |
|
What these plants are referred to as with regards to photoperiodic control |
long Day |
|
How/ Why a flash of light will affect flowering????? |
|
|
Generalized alternation of generation life cycle |
Sporophyte(2n) -spores (n) -via meiosis (spores germinate into gametophyte via mitosis) Gamete (n) from another plant fertilizes the gamete creating a zygote (2n) via Mitosis. (which grows into a sporophyte. |
