Document Summary

Angiosperm lowers can atract pollinators using visual cues and volaile chemicals. Symbioic relaionships are common between plants and other species. Concept 1: flowers, double ferilizaion, and fruits are unique features of the angiosperm life cycle. Diploid (2n) sporophytes produce spores by meiosis; these grow into haploid (n) gametophytes. Gametophytes produce haploid (n) gametes by mitosis; ferilizaion of gametes produces a sporophyte. In angiosperms, the sporophyte is the dominant generaion. The gametophytes are reduced in size and depend on the sporophyte for nutrients. The angiosperm life cycle is characterized by three fs : flowers, double ferilizaion, and fruits. Flowers are the reproducive shoots of the angiosperm sporophyte; they atach the receptacle. Flowers consist of four organs : sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals- protects lower when it"s a bud and wraps around it. Stamens- (male part) consists of a ilament topped by an anther with pollen sacs that produce pollen.
