In this photograph, which used to be the ovule and which used to be the ovary?
When mature, the ovary is a fruit and the ovule is a seed.
This is ________________. HINT! The words "pumpkin", "plant", or "vine" are NOT correct answers.
a fruit that usee to be the ovary of a flower. Larsen will also accept "future pie" or "future Jack-O-Lantern".
This is ________________.
A stigma impregnated with pollen grains.
Behold the lovely pumpkin flower. What will the ovary eventually become.
The fruit.
Observe the obvules. Will they become fruit or seeds.
Fertilized ovules will develope into seeds.
Does the male or female gametophyte "live" here?
The ovule is where you will find the female gametophyte.
Where is the ovary in this photograph?
The ovary is the oval-shaped green object above the recepticle and below the style.
This pollen grain is ________________.
Germinating. I would also accept growing a pollen tube.
Extra Credit! Why should I care about flowers? Well, remember, there is only one reason to study science, and that is to make money. How much money does the US floral industry produce annually?
$16 Billion - as cited from Cision PR Newswire (2018 - 2023 forecast)
In this photograph, which anatomical structure is considered to be the style?
The style is the long, slender tube in between the ovary and the stigma.
Which part of the flower will pollen stick to in order to complete pollenation?
Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma.
Plant growth is possible thanks to a cellular process called ______________.
Mitosis or cell division.
What is the name of the cellular process that divides the number of chromosomes in a cell by half? Where does this process take place?
Meisosis divides the number of chromosomes in a cell in half. This takes place in the anther and produces a pollen grain.
As you can see, these are pine cones. Which one is staminate? Which one is ovulate?
The staminate cones are smaller than the ovulet cones.
In spruce trees _____________ produce pollen.
Staminate Cones
After looking at this diagram, can you explain where the male gametophyte develops and reaches maturity?
The male gametophyte develops and reaches maturity in an immature anther.
True or False. The filament produces pollen.
False. The fillaments support the anthers. It is the anthers that make pollen.
Which structure, in this photograph, is responsible for making pollen?
The anther makes pollen. The stamen is made of an anther which is supported by a slender fillament.
What is the name of the chemical reaction that produces the chemical components of nectar?
Photosynthesis.
Where are these chemicals made in a flower?
These carbohydrates, or simple sugars, are produced by the nectaries.
In this photograph, the bee is more than likely attracted to the flower because of the _____________ and ____________.
The bee is attracted to the color of the pedals and the nectar the flower produces.
In this photograph, where are the flowers' sepals?
Sepals are the outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose and protect the pedals and other parts of a developing flower.
In this photograph, where is the flower's recepticle?
The receptacle is located between the peduncle (stem) and the pedals. The reproductive parts of the flower grow out from it.
In this photograph, where is the peduncle? What does it do?
The peduncle is the main stem (or stalk) that supports the flower.
