Term
Seed
Definition
Embryo packaged with a supply of nutrients inside a protective coat.
Term
Is water required for fertilization in seed plants?
Definition
No.
Term
Why is water not required for fertilization inside seed plants?
Definition
They have non-motile sperm.
Term
What is the dominant form in seed plants?
Definition
Sporophyte
Term
What is the gametophyte form like in seed plants in term of size?
Definition
Generally microscopic.
Term
What are the groups of seed plants?
Definition
Angiosperms and gymnosperms
Term
Where is the seed in gymnosperms?
Definition
Exposed
Term
What are examples of phyla within gymnosperms?
Definition
Ginkophyta and Coniferophyta
Term
Homosporous
Definition
When vascular plants (mostly seedless plants) produce one kind of spore that germinates into bisexual gametophyte.
Term
Heterosporous
Definition
When vascular plants (mostly seed plants) form two types of gametophyte spores that germinate into the male and female gametophyte.
Term
Most seedless plants are ________________ and most seed plants are _________________.
Definition
Most seedless plants are homosporous and most seed plants are heterosporous.
Term
True or false: the gametophyte in seed plants leave the ovule.
Definition
False: the gametophyte in seed plants remains in the ovule.
Term
For seed plants, where does the sperm come from?
Definition
the gametophyte in the pollen grain
Term
What produces the male gametophyte for seed plants?
Definition
Microspore
Term
Microspore
Definition
The spore that germinates into the male gametophyte in seed plants.
Term
How may the sperm in seed plants be described?
Definition
Lacking flagella
Term
What is implied by sperm that lack flagella?
Definition
The sperm do not need to swim through a water film to fertilize the egg.
Term
What are the steps in fertilization for seed plants?
Definition
Pollen grain enters the ovule, pollen germinates into pollen tube, the sperm fuses with the egg, and ovule forms the seed.
Term
What is the most diverse phylum of plant phyla?
Definition
Angiosperms
Term
Where is the seed in angiosperms?
Definition
In the fruit.
Term
Sepal
Definition
modified leaves surrounding the flower.
Term
Why are petals colored?
Definition
To attract pollinators.
Term
Stamen
Definition
Male organ
Term
What parts compose the stamen?
Definition
Anther and Filament
Term
Anther
Definition
Site of pollen production
Term
Filament
Definition
Stalk supporting anther.
Term
Carpels
Definition
Female organ
Term
What parts compose the carpel?
Definition
Stigma, style and ovary.

Term
What is the gametophyte composed of in angiosperms?
Definition
one tube cell and 1 generative cell.
Term
What does the tube cell do?
Definition
Forms pollen tube.
Term
Where is the gametophyte in angiosperms?
Definition
in the pollen tube grain
Term
What does the generative cell do?
Definition
divides into 2 sperm cells.
Term
What is special about fertilization in angiosperms?
Definition
It is double fertilization.
Term
What happens in double fertilization?
Definition
- One sperm cell fuses with egg
- One sperm cell fuses with two nuclei
Term
When a sperm cell fuses with two nuclei in double fertilization, what forms?
Definition
the 3n endosperm
Term
What does the 3n endosperm do?
Definition
Provide nourishment for embryo in the seed.
Term
Fruits may be described as...
Definition
fleshy or dry.
Term
Examples of fleshy fruits includes
Definition
Tomatoes, grapes, squash and apples.
Term
Examples of dry fruits includes
Definition
beans, nuts, grains.
Term
What is the advantage of having the seed within the fruit?
Definition
Organisms ingest the fruit, and the seeds pass through the feces to land somewhere.
Term
Cotyledon
Definition
seed leaf
Term
The classifications of plants by means of their cotyledon are...
Definition
monocot and eudicot
Term
Monocot
Definition
One seed leaf
Term
Eudicot
Definition
Two seed leaf
Term

Definition
One cotyledon.
Term
Eudicot Embryo
Definition
Two cotyledons
Term
Monocot leaf venation
Definition
Veins are parallel
Term
Eudicot leaf venation
Definition
Veins are netlike
Term
