Ovuliferous Scale - CORRECT ANSWER - The scale on the female cone of a
gymnosperm. Contains two ovules.
megagametophyte - CORRECT ANSWER - female gametophyte where the
egg and megaspores are held
megaspore - CORRECT ANSWER - Mother cell of the megasporangium.
Divides many times and eventually makes up the megagametophyte
Ovule - CORRECT ANSWER - A structure that develops within the ovary of
a seed plant and contains the female gametophyte.
Integuments - CORRECT ANSWER - cell layers that surround the zygote as it
develops into an embryo - turn into the seed coat
Cotyledon - CORRECT ANSWER - Seed leaves which function in absorbing
food from the female gametophyte.
Angiosperms - CORRECT ANSWER - flowering plants
Monocot - CORRECT ANSWER - Flowers in 3's, parallel veins, 1 cotyledon
, List the order of evolutions from non vascular plants to seed plants. -
CORRECT ANSWER - Bryophytes, Lycophytes, Pteriodphytes (ferns and
horsetails), gymnosperms, angiosperms
Antheridia - CORRECT ANSWER - A male reproductive structure that
produces flagellated sperm
Archegonium - CORRECT ANSWER - Female reproductive structure that
holds the egg.
Protonema - CORRECT ANSWER - A filamentous structure that originates
from the moss spore. Eventually form buds, which grow into new
gametophytes. Looks like confetti.
Purpose of pores in moss cells - CORRECT ANSWER - have pores to absorb
water, need water for reproduction
Strobilus - CORRECT ANSWER - A cone that forms at the tip of aerial
branches in lycophytes, contains a cluster of sporophylls. Sporophylls contain a
sporangium, which bears spores.
Bryophytes - CORRECT ANSWER - Mosses, liverworts, hornworts
Lycophytes - CORRECT ANSWER - Club and spike mosses
Pteriodphytes - CORRECT ANSWER - Ferns, Whisk Ferns, Horsetails
Frond of a Fern - CORRECT ANSWER - Entire body of leaves of the fern
Petiole - CORRECT ANSWER - Large vein that runs through the middle of
the fern
