Angiosperms Flashcards

100021805	Angiosperms	A plant that produces seeds that are enclosed in a fruit.	0
100021806	Ovary	Seeds develop in the ovary. The ovary is located in the flower.	1
100021807	Fruit	the reproductive structure of an angiosperm.	2
100021808	Flowers come in all	sort of sizes, shapes, and colors.	3
100021809	All flowers have the same purpose	reproductions	4
100021810	Petals	Colorful structures that produce an odor to attract insects or other animals. These organisms ensure that pollination occurs.	5
100021811	Sepals	Sepals protect the developing flower. Sepals surround the flower when it is still a bud (undeveloped flower).	6
100021812	Stamen	The male reproductive part. Consists of two parts:  Filament - A thin stalk that holds up the anther.  Anther - Pollen is produced in the anther.  Pollen - Inside a pollen grain is a sperm cell.	7
100021813	Pistil	Female part of the flower usually found in the middle. Consists of three parts:  Stigma - The top of the pistil that is sticky so it can catch pollen.  Style - tube that connects the stigma to the ovary.  Ovary - A hollow structure which contains ovules that have eggs.	8
100021814	Reproduction Stages	1.Pollen grains fall on a stigma. 2.The Pollen grain produces a pollen tube that grows into the ovule. 3. A sperm cell travels down the style inside the pollen tube. It joins the egg cell and fertilization occurs. 4. The fertilized egg becomes a zygote which will develop into the seed's embryo.	9
100021815	Pollination	The transfer of pollen from male reproduction structures to female reproduction structures in plants.	10
100021816	Fertilization	The joining of a sperm cell and an egg cell.	11
100021817	Pollinators	Birds, Bats, Insects (Bees), Wind. Nectar: a sugar-rich food is located deep inside the flower. When an animal/insect enters a flower to eat the nectar, it brushes up against the anther and becomes coated with pollen.	12
100021818	Self Pollinating	 Some of the pollen can drop onto the flower's stigma as the animal leaves the plant.	13
100021819	Cross Pollinating	The pollen can also be brushed onto the next flower the animal visits.	14
100021820	Fruit Ovary	As the seeds develops, the ovary changes into a fruit. Fruit: A ripened ovary and other structures that enclose one or more seeds. Animals that eat fruits help to disperse the seeds.	15
100021821	Monocots	 Monocots:  Grasses (corn, wheat, and rice)  Plants (lilies and tulips)	16
100021822	Dicots	Dicots:  Plants (roses, violets, dandelions)  Oak and Maple trees	17
100021823	Medicines	Some angiosperms are used to make medicines. - Aspirin was first made from a substance found in the leaves of willow trees. - Cortisone is a medicine made from the roots of the Mexican Yam. (treats arthritis/ joint problems).	18
100021824	Angiosperms and the living world	Angiosperms are an important source of: Food - Animals eat flowering plants such as grasses and leaves of trees. - People eat vegetables, fruits, a n d cereals (all are angiosperms).	19
100021825	Clothing/furniture	People produce clothing and other products from angiosperms. - Seeds of cotton plants are covered with cotton fibers. - Stems of flax plants provide linen fibers. - Sap of tropical rubber trees are used to make rubber for tires. - Furniture is made from wood of maple, cherry, and oak trees.	20
