Flowering Plants Chapter 25 Notes
2
Angiosperms Phylum Anthophyta Anthus “flower” phyt “plant”
300,000+ species Earth’s Dominant Plants
3
Flowering Plants Like gymnosperms: Unlike gymnosperms:
Flowering plants have vascular tissues and produce seeds Heterosporous – megaspores and microspores Unlike gymnosperms: Ovules of flowering plants are enclosed within an ovary
4
KEY TERMS OVULE Structure in the ovary that contains a female gametophyte and develops into a seed after fertilization OVARY Base of a carpel or fused carpels that contains ovules and develops into a fruit after fertilization
5
Orange Fruit Development
6
The Function of Fruits Protects seeds as they grow and mature
Seed Dispersal
7
Flower Parts Female Parts Male Parts The Pistil – 1+ Carpels
Stigma - sticky Style – the neck connecting stigma to ovary Ovary – houses ovules (each contains 1 egg) The Stamen Anther – produces pollen grains Filament - stalk
8
Ecology and Economy Our survival as a species depends on flowering plants Major food crops Products Cork, rubber, tobacco, coffee, chocolate, aromatic oils for perfumes Valuable lumber Fibers and medicines Clothing
9
Economic Botany Subdiscipline of botany that deals with plants of economic importance Most of these are flowering plants
10
KEY TERMS COTYLEDON The seed leaf of a plant embryo, which may contain food stored for germination
11
KEY TERMS MONOCOT Seeds contain a single cotyledon
Monocots have floral parts in threes Monocots include grasses, orchids, irises, onions, lilies, palms Mostly Herbaceous
12
KEY TERMS EUDICOT Seeds contain two cotyledons
Eudicots have floral parts in fours or fives Eudicots include oaks, roses, mustards, cacti, blueberries, sunflowers
13
Life Cycle Flowering plants undergo an alternation of generations:
Sporophyte generation is larger and nutritionally independent Gametophyte generation is reduced to only a few microscopic cells 6th Hour!!!!
14
KEY TERMS DOUBLE FERTILIZATION
A process in the flowering plant life cycle in which there are two fertilizations One results in formation of a zygote Second results in formation of endosperm
15
KEY TERMS ENDOSPERM The 3n nutritive tissue formed at some point in the development of all angiosperm seeds Formed by double fertilization The two polar nuclei fuse with the second sperm cell

17
Pollen Grains
18
Adaptations of Flowering Plants
Reproduce sexually by forming flowers Form seeds within fruits after double fertilization Efficient water-conducting vessel elements in xylem Efficient carbohydrate-conducting sieve-tube elements in phloem Have pollen grains transported by wind, water, insects, other animals
19
KEY TERMS APOMIXIS A type of reproduction
Fruits and seeds are formed asexually No fusion of gametes Embryo is genetically similar to parent Plants that reproduce by apomixis: dandelions, citrus trees, blackberries, garlic, certain grasses.

Adaptability of Flowering Plants
2nd Hour Left off Here
21
KEY TERMS BASAL ANGIOSPERM CORE ANGIOSPERM
Group of angiosperms thought to be ancestral to all other flowering plants CORE ANGIOSPERM Group including most angiosperm species Divided into three subgroups: magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots
22
KEY TERMS MAGNOLIID One of the groups of flowering plants
Core angiosperms once classified as “dicots,” but molecular evidence indicates they are neither eudicots nor monocots Includes species in magnolia, laurel, and black pepper families, several related families
