Biology
Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Pollination
Two types of pollination
Self Pollination
Cross pollination
Pollen is transferred from one plant to another plant of the same species
Insect Pollinated
Stamens within flower so insects must make contact
Stigma enclosed within flower so that insect must make contact
Stigma must be sticky so pollen grains attach from insects
Petals must be large and brightly coloured to attract insects.
Nectaries are present as a reward for insects
Larger pollen grains and sticky to stick to insect bodies.
Wind Pollinated
Stamens exposed so wind can blow pollen away
Parts of the plant
Male
Anther
Filaments
Petal
Sepals
Female
Pistil
Where many carpels (female structures) are fused together
Style
The tube that connects the pollen grain with the ovary
Ovule
Female gametes are held in this area
Ovary
This is where the ovules are kept and protected until it is time to germinate.
Stigma
Where the pollen is caught.
Sexual Reproduction
Germination
Seed
Seed contains a plant embryo and a food store
They have a low water content - 5-15% Water so they can stay
dormant
Food store is in the endosperm or cotyledons
Triggers
Germinating.
Characteristics of Life
Movement
Not just locomotion
Includes moving components around inside the cytoplasm in a cell
Movement is reversible
E.g. opening and closing of stomata
Respiration
The
release
of energy
Oxidation of an energy source
E.g. glucose
Not the creation or production of energy
Two types of respiration
Aerobic
Requires Oxygen
Anaerobic
Can occur in the absence of oxygen
Plants carry out respiration as well as photosynthesis
Sensitivity
The ability to respond to changes in their surroundings
Large multicellular animals:
Nervous systems
Using hormones
Chemical messengers carried in the bloodstream
Plants:
Changes in patterns of growth
Regulated by chemicals
Single-called organisms:
Moving in response to stimuli
Light
Chemicals
Growth
Enlarging cells
Increasing the volume of cytoplasm
Cell divides
Increases the number of cells in the organism
Plant
Structures of Plants
Waxy Cuticle
Upper Epidermis
Palisade Cells
Xylum & Phloem
Lower Epidermis
Spongy Mesophyll
Guard Cell & Stoma / Stomata
Transport Systems
Osmosis
Water particles at that stage are sticky
Xylem is the tube used for transporting water
Phloem is used for transporting minerals and food around the plant
