CH 22 INTRODUCTION TO PLANTS
22.3 Seed Plants
The Importance of Seeds
Adaptations of seeds Plants reproduce without open water Transfer of sperm by pollination Protection of embryos in seeds.
Seed
Plant embryo and a food supply encased in a protective covering
Living plant within a seed is diploid and represents the sporophyte phase.
Male gametophytes and the female gametophytes grow and mature directly within the sporophyte
Gymnosperms Bear seeds directly on the scales of cones
Angiosperms Bear seeds in flowers inside a layer of
tissue that protects the seed.
Pollen Grains
Contains entire male gametophyte Carried to the female reproductive
structure by wind or animals Pollination
Transfer of pollen from the male reproductive structure to the female reproductive structure.
Zygote contained within a seed grows into a tiny plant- the sporophyte embryo
Embryo begins to grow under right conditions
Uses nutrients stored in the seed until it can carry out photosynthesis on its own
Seed coat Surrounds and protects the embryo and
keeps the contents of the seed from drying out.
Seed cones produce female gametophytes
Female gametophytes develop in two ovules at base of scale.
Pollen cones produce pollen grains, which make up the entire male gametophyte stage
One haploid nuclei will divide later to produce two sperm nuclei.
Development Inside Seeds
Pollen tube Structure containing two haploid sperm
nuclei.
Development Inside Seeds
Pollen grain lands ovule Splits open and begins to grow a pollen
tube Reaches the female gametophyte
One sperm nucleus disintegrates Other fertilizes the egg.
Fertilization produces a diploid zygote Grows into an embryo.
Seed is an encased embryo that is ready to be scattered by the wind and grow into a plant.
Reproduction in conifers occurs in cones from the mature sporophyte plant.
