- The three main parts of a typical mature eudicot seed are the _______ . a. pollen grain, egg, and seed coat b. embryo, endosperm, and seed coat c. megaspores, microspores, and ovule d. embryo, cotyledons, and seed coatIn flowers, the structures that produce male gametophytes are called _______ ;the strcutures that produce female gametophytes are called _______ . a. pollen grains; flowers c. anthers; stigma b. stamen; carpels d. megaspores; microsporesTo transport water from the root into the shoot does the water potential in the xylem need to become more positive or negative? Why?
- In a common eudicot pattern of development for the common bean in the figure, the radicle emerges from the seed (1), then begins to develop into a primary root that grows down into the soil. As this occurs, the hypocotyl emerges from the seed and bends into the shape of a hook (2). The bent hypocotyl lengthens and pulls the cotyledons upward (3). When the hypocotyl reaches the soil surface, exposure to light causes it to straighten (4). Primary leaves emerge from between the cotyledons and begin photosynthesis. The cotyledons typically undergo a period of photosynthesis before shriveling (5). Eventually, the cotyledons fall off the lengthening stem, and the young plant’s new leaves produce all of its food. a) Identify and explain what environmental factors influence the timing and coordination of the germination of seeds.Which plant hormone plays key role to switch the plant development from seed dormancy to seed germination? How this plant hormone promotes germination?Why can a monocot like an iris branch and increase its number of leaves? Is the fact that the shoot is a rhizome with adventitious roots important? Is water transported from one end of the shoot to the other?
- Even before a seed germinates, it already has a root; what is the name of this embryonic root? In eudicots, what does this embryonic root usually develop into? In most monocots, this embryonic root does a strange thing during or immediately after germination. What does it do?What would happen if you removed the shoot apical meristem of a plant? -The plant would grow several lateral shoots -Growth would only occur at in the roots. -The plant would mature, but only through vertical growth--no branches would form. -The root apical meristem would take over the function of the shoot apical meristem.If you were asked to design a seed out of paper and tape that could be dispersed in the air, what features would you include and why?
