like a leaf in its early development.
plumule
the space between the radicle and the plumule.

of them in some cases.

members of this group are more numerous
and comprises most of the trees and flowers

dicots
testa
outer layer of the seed; seed coat
micropyle
a litle pore on the seed coat , through which,
apart from entering the sperm, the seed absorbs water to begin germination.

Aggregation of Drupes
a fleshy fruit with a thin skin, not formed from

Fruits. The seeds are contained in chambers in the centre of the fruit.

Name 5 types of fleshy fruits formed from a single flower.
Berry, Drupe, Aggregation of drupes, Pome, hesperidium
a false fruit, because it does not contain the
seeds. The seeds are achenes, on the outside of a fleshy fruit.

strawberry is an example of a...

FLESHY FRUITS
formed from a group of flowers
A dry dehiscent fruit which splits on one side only. It may contain one or
many seeds.

follicle
a dry dehiscent pod that splits on two sides
Legume
sweet pea, pea family, acacia, alfalfa are examples of...
legume
a dry dehiscent fruit, a legume constricted
between the seeds
Lomentum
a dry dehiscent fruit. It is long and thin,
splits down the two long sides, and has a papery membrane (the septum) between
the two halves
Silique
wallflower is an example of..
Silique
golden chain tree is an example of...
Lomentum
most common fruit type. a dry fruit
which splits open to release the seeds.
capsule
cotton, eucalyptus, horse chestnut all have...
capsules
a dry dehiscent fruit in which the tips of the
seed capsule split
Valvate Capsule
a dry dehiscent fruit, opening with pores or
holes around the top
Porose
Capsule
a dry
dehiscent fruit, splitting along the locule (midrib of each ovary).
Loculicidal Capsule
a dry dehiscent fruit, opening by splitting
through the centre of the fruit, so that the top of the capsule lifts off like
a lid. An example of this type of fruit is Pimpernel (Anagallis)
Circumscissile
Capsule
a simple dry indehiscent fruit, like an achene,
but with the seedcoat fused with the fruit coat. Includes sweetcorn.
Caryopsis
an independent dry indehiscent fruit which has part of the fruit wall extended to form a wing. includes maple.
Samara
Is
covered in a sticky substance that the pollen grains will adhere to.
Stigma
The
style raises the stigma away from the Ovary to decrease the likelihood of
pollen contamination. It varies in length.
Style
This
protects the ovule and once fertilization has taken place it will become the
fruit.
Ovary
is
like the egg in animals and once fertilization has taken place will become the
seed.
Ovule
This
is the flower's attachment to the stalk and in some cases becomes part of the
fruit after fertilization e.g. strawberry.
Receptacle
Gives
support to the flower and elevates the flower for the insects.
Flower
stalk
This
is where a sugary solution called nectar is held to attract insects.
Nectary
This
is the stalk of the Anther.
Filament
contains pollen sacs on flower
Anther
The
stigma, style, ovary, and ovule are often known collectively as
carpel or female parts of the flower
cucumbers,
pumpkin, and melons have perfect/imperfect flowers?
imperfect
Name 3 examples of perfect flowers.
Roses, lilies and dandelions
a plant which developed three furrows or pores
in its pollen (triporate)
dicot
has pollen with a single furrow or pore through
the outer layer (monosulcate)
monocots
Vascular bundles are arranged within the stem of ______ to form a cylinder, appearing as a ring of spots when you cut across the
stem.
dicots
Vascular bundles appear scattered through the stem, with more of the bundles located toward the stem periphery than in the center.
monocots
In most dicots (and in most seed plants) the
root develops from the lower end of the embryo, from a region known as the...
radicle
Are pine trees monocots or dicots?
Pines
are conifers, and are neither monocots nor dicots. Only flowering plants
are considered to be members of these two classes. This question is similar to
asking whether a chicken is a monocot or a dicot; it is neither.
Do all dicots produce flowers?
Yes, sort of. All dicots and monocots are
flowering plants, and so are descended from flower-producing plants.
