Overview of Angiosperms and Their Importance

Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within fruits. They have two key characteristics - flowers and fruits. Flowers are the reproductive organs that attract pollinators with traits like color, shape and smell. Fruits then develop from the ovaries to protect and disperse the seeds. There are two main classes - monocots which have one cotyledon, and dicots with two. Angiosperms reproduce both sexually through pollination and fertilization within flowers, and asexually using vegetative propagation and structures like bulbs, rhizomes and tubers. They have significant economic importance as major food sources as well as providing materials like fibers, dyes, timber and medicines.

Angiosperm
A plant that produces seeds that are enclosed in
fruit.
From the greek word “angeion” meaning vessel
and “sperma” meaning seed. Which means seed in a
vessel
Two
characteristics of an
angiosperm:

• Flower
• Fruit
Characteristics of Angiosperms

• Angiosperms have developed flowers and fruits.

• Flower serves as the reproductive organs for the plant.

• Flowers have a wide array of colors, shapes, and smells, all of which
are for the purpose of attracting pollinators.
Flower Vocabulary
1. Petals – They are often
bright in colour as their
main function is to attract
pollinators such as insects,
butterflies, etc. to the
flower
2. Sepals – leaf like
structures that enclose a
bud
Flower Vocabulary
3. Stamens – male
reproductive parts
• Filament – thin stalk
• Anther – produces
pollen – knob at top of
filament
4. Pistils – This forms the female parts of a
flower. A collection of pistils is called the
gynoecium
• Stigma – sticky tip of pistil
• Style – slender tube that connects the
stigma to the ovary (hollow base of the
flower where ovules are
• Ovary – They form the base of the pistil.
Flower Vocabulary
5. Receptacle - is that part of the flower
to which the stalk is attached to. It is small
and found at the centre of the base of the
flower

6. Leaf -  responsible for making food for


the process of photosynthesis. Carbon
dioxide, water, and light are turned into
glucose
Flower Vocabulary
7. Stem - the part of the flower that
attaches it to the rest of the plant. It
also supports the rest of the flower
• Xylem – conveys water &
dissolved minerals from the
• roots to thetransports
Phloem - shoots food made in the leaves to the roots
and developing leaves and fruits
• Cambium– provides a continuous cylinder. It enables the
food and water to be transported to the rest of the plant
together
• Vascular bundles -  the groupings of the xylem cells,
phloem cells, and cambium

Reproduction of an Angiosperm
Asexual reproduction

• Vegetative reproduction – a form of asexual reproduction


where new plants grow from parts of an existing plant (roots,
stem, leaves)
Ex. Sugar cane, banana and grapes
• Budding – plants that uses buds in a vegetative reproduction
Ex. Potato (tubers), ginger (rhizome) and turmeric plant
 Rhizomes – underground stems store food and can give rise to
new plants along their length (ex. Ginger)
 Tubers – fleshy, food-storing swellings at the tip of an
underground stem (ex. Potato)
Others we have:
 Stolons (runners)– stems that grow on top of the ground’s
surface to establish new plants (ex. Strawberry)
 Bulbs – stem is only a small disk that is just above the roots
Reproduction of an Angiosperm
Asexual reproduction
• Fragmentation – plants break up into small
fragments/pieces and will regenerate into a whole new
plant when conditions are favorable (ex. Algae, mosses)
• Spore formation – reproduction of plants that uses pores
Ex. Ferns and moss

Methods of Asexual Re
production
Two Classes of Angiosperms
1. Monocotyledons (monocots)  have a single cotyledon
2. Dicotyledons (dicots)  have two cotyledons
Economic Importance of
Angiosperms
• The flowering plants have a number of uses as food, specifically as
grains, sugars, vegetables, fruits, oils, nuts, and spices.

• In addition, plants and their products serve a number of other needs,


such as dyes, fibres, timber, fuel, medicines, and ornamentals.
