With over 270,000 species of angiospermsalone, why do you think we get most of ournourishment from only three plants (wheat,corn, and rice)?
You are visiting Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, Georgia, to pick apples. The apple tree is an example of a deciduous (sheds leaves seasonally) angiosperm. Identify the major sugar source and sink of a general deciduous angiosperm during the following season:
A) Summer
B) Early Spring
A slight change in a plant species’ flower structure might favor a different pollinator. How might such a change in flower structure lead to a new plant species? How does coevolution between flowering plants and animal pollinators help explain the huge diversity of angiosperms?

- Based on this evidence, is it likely that burdock would reproduce as much if it didn’t have specially structured seeds? (a) it is most likely that it would still reproduce, but the offspring would probably be located much closer together (b) there is not enough information to speculate about how well burdock plants reproduce (c) no, there wouldn’t be as much burdock without its special structures (d) Yes, burdock would spread just as well regardless of the design of its seed podsarrow_forwardWhat is the main difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms in terms of where the seeds are produced? Where would you look to confirm this with your own observations?arrow_forwardOne difference between mosses and angiosperms (flowering plants) is that: 1. mosses spend equal amounts of time in the gametophytic and sporophytic phases of the life cycle 2. angiosperms spend more time in the haploid phase of the life cycle 3. angiosperms spend more time in the diploid phase of the life cycle 4. a & b 5. a & carrow_forward

- List FOUR examples of angiosperm and/or gymnosperm plant species that are economically important. A species could have more than one use (for example, species "x" is an angiosperm and its tuber is used as food, for drink and at the same time it is medicinal). PUT A PHOTO OF EACH ONE, identify with common (or scientific) name.arrow_forwardWhy does the ocotillo not drop its leaves at a singlepredictable time each year, as do temperate angiosperm trees and shrubs?arrow_forwardWhile out on a hike you happen on to a small herbaceous plant that is currently producing many colorful flowers and seeds. The seeds that this small plant is producing have large wings that blow long distances in the breeze. Which of the following is most likely true of this plant? This plant is wind pollinated The plant is a generalist that can survive in many different habitats The plant is gametophyte dominant The plant is a gymnospermarrow_forward
- Which of the following comparisons between the moss life cycle and fern life cycle are correct? A) Mosses have flagellated sperm that need water to reach the female gamete, while the sperm of ferns are unflagellated and are not dependent on water.B) The sporophyte generation is smaller than the gametophyte generation in mosses, but the sporophyte generation is much larger than the gametophyte generation in ferns.C) The spores are produced in capsules on stalks in mosses but in small structures called sori on the underside of leaves in ferns.D) The gametes are produced in gametangia in mosses but in specialized structures on the underside of leaves in ferns.E) Both kinds of plants depend on wind for dispersal of spores.arrow_forwardA tree produces only seedless oranges.
