Dichotomous Key Practice 5 marks
Today, you will create a dichotomous key for a group of at least 10 or more PLANTS FROM THE SCHOOL GARDEN (2-1) or everyday objects (2-3) today for 5 marks. Hand this in within the class. Create BOTH a spider key and a question key. And an illustration of each object.
You are to create a dichotomous key for the plants you observe in central park.
EXAMPLES OF DICHOTOMOUS KEYS
Example of a key of just five items. It shows a SPIDER KEY
and a question key:
Here are some examples of dichotomous keys on line.
Examples of Dichotomous keys: web
What's That Tree?
Eek! Tree key
Common Trees of the Pacific Northwest
Example of a key that can be printed out

Test on Angiospermae Reproduction November 7th Wednesday
There will be multiple choice as well as long answer on this test
The test is on the following material:
1. Angiospermae Reproduction in the textbook pages 267-274
a. What is the purpose of a flower?
b. label the parts of a flower, which parts are male, which are female?
c. What does the fertilized ovule turn into?
d. How are angiosperms different from gymnosperms in their reproduction?
e. Explain how double fertilization happens
f. What are the many adaptations for seed dispersal?
g. Explain the advantages of pollen and some of the methods of pollen dispersal
h. Fig 10.17 Explain how monocots are different from dicots.
Vocab words: Know these definitions and how they relate to angiosperm reproduction: Be prepared to label these words on a diagram and also to explain how reproduction happens:
Angiosperm (means covered seed)
Co-evolution (with insects)
Flowers
FEMALE PARTS
Pistil, stigma, ovule
Petal,
embryo
Megaspore mother cell
meiosis, mitosis, mitosis, meiosis, haploid n
egg, spare nuclei, polar nuclei
MALE PARTS
Stamen, anther, filament
microspore mother cell
meiosis, mitosis, mitosis, meiosis, haploid n
n+n pollen
FERTILIZATION
stigma, pollen
generative nucleus, tube nucleus
generative nucleus --> sperm nuclei
tube
double fertilization
2n embryo --> new plant
3n endosperm --> "baby food" for the new plant --> cotyledon
PARTS OF SEED
seed coat
3n endosperm
2n embryo
it's a monocotyledon = corn, rice or a dicotyledon= soybean, peanut, cashew
OVULE or RECEPTACLE eventually become FRUIT
a drupe or a berry or an accessory or an aggregate
Your colouring diagrams. Be prepared to identify certain flowers and fruits according to these diagrams:

Flower Lab /20 and Seed lab also /20
I gave you a colouring book showing the structures of flowers, leaves and fruit.
Use this as a reference.
FLOWER LAB IS OUT OF 20 MARKS
Go into the school garden and find the following specimens. Bring them back for dissection and observation under the dissecting microscope.
Draw each specimen. 2 marks
Identify the flower type and label the parts. 2 marks
Write one interesting observation you notice 1 mark
Each drawing should be at least a half page. You should have three specimens:
Use a big legal size paper to draw your observations.
1. Find a small HEAD type of flower (simlar to a sunflower) It ought to have a disk flower and ray flower within the head. Observations: Count the disc flowers in your specimen. What is the advantage of this kind of flower?
2. a. Find a SPIKE type of flower
b. Find an UMBEL TYPE of flower
3. Find a BASIC FLOWER. Is it hypogynous, perigynous or epigynous? Draw it and label its parts
CONTENT: YOU COMPLETED THE ASSIGNMENT 15 MARKS (5 marks per question)
you answered all the questions with care and you discover something interesting/
CARE IS TAKEN IN DRAWING and observing out of 5
6/5 you make exceptional, careful drawings with clean lines. It is beautifully done and neat, it's in colour. This stands out. Bonus marks
4-5/5 you make exceptional careful drawings. This is beautifully done and neat
2-3/5 your drawings are complete and neat
1/5 you needed more time as your drawings seem a bit rushed and incomplete.
SEED AND FRUIT LAB ALSO OUT OF 20 MARKS
For each specimen, draw it and label its parts. Write a few sentences that describe its role in angiosperm reproduction. Each drawing should be at least half a page and neatly drawn, in colour.
draw three seed specimens 5 marks: Which of these are dicots and which are monocots? How do you know?
soybean sprout
corn nut
coconut
Fruit specimens: 5 marks Classify these according to your colouring book
strawberry
dragonfruit
find one more fruit OR seed specimen in the school garden 5 marks

1. make drawings/cartoon 10 marks
2. included all the key words 5 marks
3. make it interesting, humorous or unique in some way ...out of 5 marks
stamen, pistil, ovule, anther, filament, microspore mother cell, megaspore mother cell. Mitosis, meiosis, haploid, diploid, triploid. n, 2n, 3n, n+n, polar nucleus, pollen, double fertilization, embryo, seed coat, endosperm, cotyledon, monocotyledon, dicotyledon, ovule, fruit
3. Make an analogy of one part of angiospermae reproduction: Write a paragraph with a picture (example, double fertilization is like blowing up death star... ) 5 marks
