Pollination
Pollination
pollination
: plant reproduction
flower
: the reproductive structure of an angiosperm; contain gametes (sperm + egg) needed for respiration
gametophyte
: gamete-producing
male gametophyte
: pollen grain (sperm)
pollen grain forms two cells: generative cell (produces two sperm) + tube cell (makes a path for sperm to ovary)
female gametophyte
: embryo sac (egg)
anther
: produce pollen grains
ovule
: compartment inside ovary that contains embryo sac + egg
stomata
- opens so that oxygen and CO2 can enter/leave the plant; closes if too hot to prevent evaporation rate
guard cells
- open the stomata
cuticle
- protects the leaf (outer layer) from animals etc.
palisade mesophyll layer
- contains the chloroplasts so that the light can be stored
spongy mesophyll layer
- contains CO2 and this area does not need much light
double pollination
- 2 sperm fertilized at the same time
first: fertilizes the egg (egg → embryo)
second: fertilizes
polar nuclei
(PN →
endosperm
- food for embryo)
cross pollination
: transfer of pollen to a stigma of a different plant
self pollination
: transfer of pollen to the stigma of the same plant
pigments
: absorb all the sunlight
→ red + blue pigments absorbed the most, green the least (reflected)
after fertilization, a seed forms around the embryo + the ovary ripens into a fruit
