I LOVE FLOWERS

                                 

Hey I just want to say this is probably going to be my last blog ever. So I want to make it special. I am going to talk about ...FLOWERS. You might  know about how pretty they are. They are not just known for there appearance they are also known for much more, but to find out you are going to have to read the rest of my blog. So lets go into the world of flowers.

• Compare life cycles of angiosperms and gymnosperms
• Diagram the parts of a flower and label their functions
• What is my  favorite flower and teach you some interesting facts about it.
• And last ,but not least  I will list 3 methods of seed dispersal.

Did you know that there is a male part and a female part to a flower. Well , the male part has 2 reproductive part to it. The reproductive part is called the stamen. A way my science teacher told me mow to remember it is in the name stamen. It has the word in it. You know STAMEN. Get it. Okay, good. The 2 parts of a stamen are called anther and the filament.   


1. The anther produces and holds pollen. It is at the top of the the stamen. 

2. Filament holds the anther.              





Next is the female reproductive part. Unlike the stamen which don't really do anything besides collect pollen. It is still a big part to creating a seed. The female has 4 parts to it's reproductive part which is called the pistil. The 4 parts are style, ovary,stigma,and the ovule.

1. Style helps support the stigma and is a tube in the flower that is on top of the ovary and beneath the sigma.

2. Ovary is a reproductive organ that holds the eggs. It is located at the bottom of the pistil.

3. Stigma is the top sticky portion of the pistil. It catches the pollen, so when the flower is ready to make it's seed the stigma collects the pollen.

4.Ovule is the the reproductive cell that produces the egg. It is located inside the ovary.



                              ANGIOSPERM

Angiosperms produce flowers, which makes the plant of angiosperms look so colorful. Angiosperms flowers is what attracts the insects to give pollen to the flowers. So without the color and the nectar of the flower. The flower would never get the pollen that it needs. Angiosperms are vascular plants that need oxygen live.



                             GYMNOSPERMS

Gymnosperms are not all that different to angiosperms. They do not have flowers or have a lot of color. They are pine cones. Not much to it,but still interesting. It produces and it grows, but you cant see the seeds on the pine cones and that is different from angiosperms.



My favorite plant is are DUN DUN DUNN... the Red and Yellow Tulips !  I like it because it comes in different colors and they look really nice. 

                               INTERESTING FACTS ON THESE TULIPS 

1. Tulips come in variety of colors.
2. Tulips belong to the same family as lilies.
3. Tulips came from Central Asia
4. There are about 3,000 species of tulips.
5. The most popular tulips are the red ones.

           The 3 ways of seed dispersal!

1. It can be blown by the wind.
2. It can be eaten by an animal and you know popped out.
3.  It can be washed away in water.

Okay that's my blog hope you enjoyed it. I know I did, see you never again on my blog maybe. I don't want to say bye to the world of blogging, but I kinda have to so until next time, ... see ya.




                           

HEY. HEY, HEY, HEY, PLANTS

               




HEY all my viewers. Its Taylor here and I am going to talk about... are you sure you really want to know...WELL I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT... 

•  The characteristics of seed plants.
• The main characteristics of gymnosperms and angiosperms and their importance.
• Compare monocots and dicots.

Before I  start off the facts, I just want  to take a minute and tell you how plants help us. I want to start off saying that you probably don't know how they help. They are living things that  give us oxygen to live and we give them carbon dioxide to live. So when you breathe you are helping a plant.

Okay know it's time to list the characteristics of the plants. Well, I could state the obvious (there green)or I the characteristic that you don't know like 

• ALL seed plants have 2 tissue called phloem and xylem.
• ALL plants need carbon dioxide to live.
•  ALL plants have vascular tissue.
• SEED PLANTS use seeds to reproduce.
• ALL annual plants grow, reproduce, and die in one year.
• ALL plants can adapt to different environments.

Next, I am going to talk about the main characteristics of Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Well, first you need to know what Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are.  


An Angiosperms -  a plant having its seeds enclosed in a small egg.



A Gymnosperm  - a vascular plant having seeds that are not enclosed in a small egg.

Okay, know you know what they are lets go into the main characteristics they have in common. 

                                 Some of the characteristics are:

• They both give pollen for fertilization.
• The small egg of the angiosperms and the gymnosperms are created into seeds.
• They both reproduce by seeds.
• They both have vascular tissue.

                                           MONOCOTS and DICOTS 

• Monocots have only a one seed leaf inside the seed coat , dicots have two         
• Leaves on a dicot comes in different shapes and sizes, monocots are long and narrow .
• A stem of a monocot are usually unbanchy and flesh, the stems on a dicots are tough.

Well,I hope you enjoyed my blog, leave me comment and tell me what you think.
