Plant Structure and Function

Plants that produce seeds without an outer covering or fruit.

Plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.

A type of plant reproduction that involves the union of male and female gametes, resulting in offspring with genetic diversity.

A type of plant reproduction where new plants arise from a single parent without the involvement of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically identical to the parent.

A type of angiosperm where the seeds are enclosed within a single cotyledon (seed leaf). Examples include grasses, lilies, and orchids.

A type of angiosperm where the seeds are enclosed within two cotyledons (seed leaves). Examples include beans, roses, and trees.

The process by which a sperm cell from a pollen grain reaches and fertilizes an egg cell within an ovule, leading to the formation of a seed.

The process by which a seed develops into a new plant.

A specialized stem that grows horizontally aboveground, producing new plants at the nodes touching the soil. They're involved in asexual reproduction.

An enlarged underground stem that stores food. Examples include potatoes and sweet potatoes.

A long, fleshy underground stem that grows parallel to the ground, storing food. Examples include ginger.

A thickened base of leaves that stores food. Examples include onions and garlic.

A short, vertical, and thick underground stem that stores food. Examples include Gabi or Taro.

A fleshy, often leafless stem that stores water. Examples include cacti.

The male reproductive part of a flower, responsible for producing pollen.

The filament supports the anther and acts as a pathway for pollen grains.

The part of the stamen that produces pollen grains.

The female reproductive part of a flower, responsible for receiving pollen and developing seeds.

The sticky, feathery part of the pistil where pollen grains land and germinate.

The tube connecting the stigma to the ovary, through which pollen travels.

The lower part of the pistil, containing the ovules that will develop into seeds.

The tiny structures inside the ovary that develop into seeds after fertilization.
