Objective:You will be able to identify and give the function of the parts of a flower. Do Now: • Read pages 612 and 613 • For each part of the flower, write its function • This will take you a few minutes
Male parts • Male part is called the stamen • The stamen consist of the anther and filament • Anther • Carries out meiosis to make pollen • Sperm cells are inside the pollen • Filament • Holds the anther into the air
Female parts • Female part is called the pistil • The pistil is made of the stigma, style and ovary • Stigma is sticky to capture the pollen • Style is a passageway to the ovary • Ovary • Carries out meiosis to make eggs • The eggs are found within ovules
Objective:You will be able to describe the events of pollination and fertilization. Do Now: • Read page 616 • What two things form from fertilization?
Figure 38.5 Pollen grains have tough, ornate, and distinctive walls
Pollination • Pollination is the transfer of the pollen from the anther to the stigma • If the pollen lands on a flower on the SAME plant it is called self-pollination • If it lands on a different individual then it is called cross-pollination • Pollinators are used to move the pollen
Fertilization • Fertilization occurs within the ovule • There are actually two sperm cells • The first will fertilize the egg and form a zygote • This zygote will undergo cleavage to from an embryo
Fertilization • The second sperm will fertilize a 2n cell and form a 3n cell called the endosperm • The endosperm is the food source for the embryo • This concept of two fertilizations is called double fertilization • It is unique to flowering plants.
After Fertilization • The ovule itself will harden and become a seed • The ovary itself will change and become a fruit • The fruit is used for seed dispersal
Objective:You will be able to identify and describe the parts of a seed. Do Now: • Read page 618 • Give examples of fruits that everyone thinks are vegetables.
Seed Structure • The embryo consists of the hypocotyl and the epicotyl • Hypocotyl becomes the root • Epicotyl becomes the leaves and upper part of stem • Cotyledon is used as a food source • The seed coat protects the seed
Seed germination • Once proper conditions are met, the seed will start to germinate. • Seed germination depends on water, oxygen and temperature • Why not light?
