Group Four Seeded, vascular plants (ex: angiosperm)
Group 4: Flowering Plants
• Angiosperms (flowering plants)
• Flower = reproductive structure– Attract animals to
help spread pollen– Forms fruit to protect
and spread seeds• Seeds
– Grow inside the fruit– Inside the seed
1. Embryo2. Endosperm (Food supply)
Seed Dispersal
• Fruit brightly colored– Attracts animals
• Seeds pass through animals digestive system
• Seeds pooped in a new area to grow
Fruit seeds in fox poop
Angiosperm Groups• 2 groups: Based on
seed type• Cotyledon:
embryonic leaf• Two Categories:
– Monocots: embryo with 1 seed leaf
– Dicots: embryo with 2 seed leaves
Monocots vs. Dicots

Angiosperm Life Spans
• Three Life Span Types:• 1) Annuals
– Seed grows…– Produce flowers & seeds…– Die
• 2) Biennials– 1st year:
• Seed grows and stores food– 2nd year:
• grows more…• makes flowers & seeds…• dies
• 3) Perennials– Live for more than 2 years– May take decades to grow

petals• Reproductive
structure of angiosperms
• Sepals– outer ring of leaves– protection
• Petals– Inner ring of leaves – Brightly colored to
attract pollinators• Male and female
organs found inside

Flowers • Stamen (male)– Anther: tip of stamen,
produces pollen (sperm)
– Filament: supports anther
• Carpel/Pistil (female)– Inner most part– Stigma: sticky tip,
collects pollen– Style: tube leading
from stigma to ovary – Ovary: found within the
base of a flower• Contains eggs• Grows into fruit when
fertilized
...
Self-Pollination(A flower’s own pollen fertilizes its
own egg/eggs)
Cross-Pollination(Pollen of one flower fertilizes
egg/eggs of another flower)
...
1. Pollen sticks to animal (pollinator) or is released into wind.
Angiosperm Life Cycle
1. Pollen sticks to animal (pollinator) or is released into wind.
2. Animal (pollinator) finds new flower to feed on & pollen grains land on the stigma = pollination
3. Pollen tube grows towards the ovary and 2 sperm transfer down into the ovule
egg
..
Let’s zoom in and look inside the
ovule
4. Angiosperms go through the process of double fertilization.• 1 sperm fuse with the egg = zygote• 1 sperm fuse with the polar nuclei = triploid (3n) endosperm
Endosperm(3n)
Zygote
Double Fertilization
Ovule inside ovary
EndospermSeed Coat
Embryo
5. Each ovule becomes a seed.
6. The surrounding ovary grows into a fruit.
7. Flower dries up and fruit falls to ground.
8. Animals eat fruit….seeds come out the other end…
9. Seeds get dispersed.
10. Seed germinates (sporophyte), and the cycle starts over.
Ground
Plant type Gametophyte Sporophyte Dominant Phase?
Seedless nonvascular(Moss)
More familiar, carpet-like plant that produces specialized gametesXX - ArchegoniumXY – Antheridium
Stalk with cup at tip, which is where spores are produced.
GAMETOPHYTE
Seedless vascular(Fern)
Haploid plant body (prothallus) is size of a finger nail, produces both male and female parts
More familiar, leafy plant with clusters of spore producing sacs (sori)
SPOROPHYTE
Seeded vascularGymnosperm(Conifer)
Pollen grains are male gametophytes develop into sperm, female gametophytes are microscopic produce eggs
More familiar- like pine trees, produces male and female cones that produce spores
SPOROPHYTE
Flowers(Angiosperm)
Pollen grains are male gametophytes 2 haploid cells = pollen tube + sperm Female gametophyte in ovule egg + 2 polar nuclei
More familiar - apple tree, peach tree, zucchini, berries, etc. Contain flowers that produce male and female spores
