1.

Pollinator an organism that moves pollen from one plant to

another
2. Endosperm- nutritive tissue in the seeds of flowering plant
3. Ovule-develop into seeds

arrested embryonic development
5. Ethylene-the plant hormone that is gaseous
6. Producers- an organism that make their own food
7. Consumers-an organism that gets energy by eating other
organism
8. Decomposers- an organism that get its energy by earing
waste and dead organism
9. Food chain-shows a series of organisms that eat other
organism
10.
Producer- first organism in a food chain
11.
First level consumer- the organism in a food chain
12.
Second level consumer- the organism that eat the first
level consumer
13.
Food web made up of many food chain in an
ecosystem
14.
Scavenger-a carnivore that feeds on the bodies of dead
organism
15.
Ecology- the study of interaction of living organism with
one another and with their environment
16.
Decomposers- organism that get energy by breaking
down dead organism
17.
Food chain- the pathway of energy transfer through
various slagers as a result of the feeding patterns of a series
of organism
18.
Food web- a diagram that shows feeding relationships
between organism in an ecosystem
19.
Chlorophyll- the light-absorbing green coloured pigment
that begin the process of photosynthesis
20.
Chloroplast- a membrane bound organelle in green
plant
21.
Carbon dioxide and water- raw material in
photosynthesis
22.
Mercury-Naturally occurring metal that is highly toxic

pollination
transfer of pollen from anther to stigma

self-pollination
pollen stays on the same plant, but may be transferred to a different
flower or a stigma on the same flower

cross pollination
pollen from one flower transfered to the sticky stigma of another
flower

pollen
male gametes produced in the anther

insect pollination
pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma by an insect

wind pollination
wind is transferred by the wind

feathery stigma
found on wind pollinated plants to trap pollen

1.

Anemophily pollination by wind, e.g. in many grass plants (Poaceae or

Gramineae) and sedges (Cyperaceae).
2.
Cantharophily pollination by beetle.
3.
Cheiropterophily pollination by bat, examples the century plants
(Agave spp.), white saguaro cactus (Carnegiea), some bananas (Musa spp.).
4.
Entomophily pollination by insect.
5.
Hydrophily pollination by water, e.g. the aquatic plants seagrasses
(Zostera sp.) and ribbon weed (Vallisneria spiralis).
6.
Melittophily or hymenopterophily pollination by bee, example the aster by
bumblebee.
7.
Myrmecophily pollination by ant, example in the Dwarf owl-clover
(Orthocarpus pusillus).
8.
Necrocoleopterophily pollination by carrion beetle, example in the carion
flower Hydnora africana.
9.
Ornithophily pollination by bird, examples the Mimulus cardinalis by
hummingbird and the bell-fruited mallee (Eucalyptus pressiana) by jellowplumed honeyeater.
10. Phalaenophily pollination by moth, examples in the evening primrose
(Oenothera biennis), some tobacco (Nicotiana spp.), most honeysuckle
(Lonicera spp.), Verbena, and Lantana.
11. Psychophily pollination by butterfly, example the Indian paintbrush
(Castilleja sp.) by swallowtail butterfly.
12. Sapromyiophily pollination by flies such as the carrion, dung, and
mushroom fly, example in carrion flowers which emit foul odors.
