Presentation Transcript

  1. Angiosperms- Flowering plants • Key Features • Produce seeds in fruit • Flowers- promote pollination and fertilization • Cross pollination or self pollination • Fruit- protection and seed dispersal • Endosperm- stored food for embryonic plant.

  2. Fruits are produced only by flowering plants (angiosperms).

  3. Anther and Filament- male; produce pollen • Stigma, Style and Ovary-female; contains ovule. • Pedals and nectar- attract pollinators • Sepal- protects bud.

  4. Pollination

  5. Fertilization • Pollen on the stigma produces a pollen tube. Pollen travels down the tube until it fertilizes the ovule producing a seed.

  6. Seeds-dispersal

  7. Monocots vs. Dicots • Angiosperms are divided into monocots and dicots • As the zygote grows into the embryo, the first leaves of the young plant develop and are called cotyledons (seed leaves) • Monocots have one cotyledon (corn, lily, etc). • Dicots have two cotyledons (bean, oak, etc).
