What are some characteristics of Angiosperms? |
Flowering plants. Produce seeds. Dominant form of plant life today. Highly successful reproduction. All produce fruits - modification of ovary wall. |
|
|
What are the male parts of the flower? |
Anther Filament (Collectively called the Stamen) |
|
|
What are the female parts of the plant? |
Stigma Style Ovary (Collectively called the Pistil) |
|
|
What are the two groups of Angiosperms? |
Monocots Dicots |
|
|
What are some characteristics of Monocots? |
1 cotyledon. Floral parts in multiples of three. Vascular bundles scattered. Parallel leaf veination. Wood is present. |
|
|
What are some characteristics of Dicots? |
2 cotyledons. Floral parts in multiples of four or five. Vascular bundles arranged in a ring. Branched or netted leaf veination. Wood may or may not be present. |
|
|
Describe inconspicuous flowers. |
Have dry pollen. Wind pollinated. Produce copious amounts of pollen. Produce a large number of very small flowers. |
|
|
Describe showy flowers. |
Sticky pollen. Animal pollinated. Produce nectar as reward system to attract pollinator. Often have an odor. Pollinators include insects, birds, and even primates. |
|
|
Are most foods monocots or dicots? |
Monocots. |
|
|
What three things does the apical meristem give rise to? |
Protoderm -> Epidermis Ground meristem -> Ground tissues Procambium -> Primary xylum and phloem. |
|
|
The apical meristem gives rise to both (blank) and (blank) parts of the plant. |
Underground and aboveground. |
|
|
What are the three plant tissue systems? |
Dermal - protective. Vascular - conduction. Ground - fundamental tissue, makes up most of the plant. |
|
|
What are the two parts of the Dermal tissue system? |
Epidermis - outer covering. Periderm - replaces epidermis in plants that show secondary growth. |
|
|
What are the two parts of the Vascular tissue system? |
Xylum - conducts water. Phloem - conducts food / products of photosynthesis. |
|
|
What are the three parts of the Ground tissue system? |
Parenchyma - thin walled cells, site of metabolic activities. Collenchyma - unevenly thickened cell walls, important in flexible support. Scterenchyma - thick walled, used for protection and support. |
|
|
What are the two parts of the Scterenchyma? |
Fibers - elongated. Sclerids - occur in aggregates throughout plant. |
|
|
The ground tissue system makes up the (blank) and (blank). |
Cortex and pith. |
|
|
What gives rise to secondary growth? |
The vascular cambian. |
