This procedure is called Self-fertilization. In self-fertilization, blossoms trade dust with same bloom or another bloom on a similar plant. Any remote dust that lands on a blossom from an alternate bloom are rejected. Self fertilization does not generally guarantee hereditary variety since hereditary material between same plants  is traded.

SEXUAL REPRODUCTON IN FLOWEKING PLANIS 2.2.1 Stamen, Microsporangium and Pollen Grain Figure shows the two paris of a fypical stamen - the long and slender stalk called the filament, and the terminal generally bilobed strueture called the anther. The proximal end of the filarnent is attached to the thalamus or the petal of the flower. The number and length of stamens arevarlable in flowers of different species. If you were to collect a stamen each from ten flowers leach from different species) and arrange them on a slide, you would be able to appreciate the large variation in size seen in nature. Careful observation of each stamen under a dissecting microscope and making neat diagrams would elucidate the range in shape and attachment of anthers in different flowers. A typical angiosperm anther is bilobed with each-lobe having two theea, te., they are dithecous (Figure b). Often a longirudinal groove runs lengthwise separating the theca. Let us understand the various types of tissues and their organisation in the transverse section of an anther (Figure a). The bilobed nature of an anther is very distinct in the transverse section of the anther. The anther is a four-sided (tetragonal)-strueture consisting of four microsporangia located at the corners. two in each tober The microsporangia develop further and become pellen saes. They extend longitudinally all through the length of an anther and are packed Figure (a) A typical stamen: with pollen grains. Structure of microsporanglum: In a transverse (b) three-dimensional section, a fypical microsporangium appears near of an anther eireular in outline. It is generally surrounded by fourwall layers (Figure - the epidermis, endothecium. middle lavers and the tapetum. The outer three wall layers perform the function of protection and help in dehiscence of anther to release the pollen. The imnermost wall layer is the tapetum. It fiourishes the developing pollen grains. Cells of the tapetum possess-dense cytoplasm and generally have more than onenuelens. Can you think of how tapetal cells could become bl-nucleate? When the anther is young, a group of compartly arranged homogenous cells called the sporogenous thssue occuples the centren

ECOSYSTEM The important point to note is that the amount of energy decreases at successive trophic levels. When any organism dies it is converted to detritus or dead biomass that serves as an energy source for decomposers. Organisms at each trophic level depend on those at the lower trophic level for their energy demands. Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at a particular time called as the standing crop. The standing crop is measured as the mass of living organisms (biomass) or the number in a unit area. The biomass of a species is expressed in terms of fresh or dry weight. Measurement of biomass in terms of dry weight is more accurate. Why? The number of trophic levels in the grazing food chain is restricted as the transfer of energy follows 10 per cent law - only 10 per cent of the energy is transferred to each trophic level from the lower trophic level. In nature, it is possible to have so many levels - producer, herbivore, primary carnivore, secondary carnivore in the grazing food chain (Figure 14.3) . Do you think there is any such limitation in a detritus food chain? Figure 14.3 Energy flow through different trophic levels 14.5 Ecological Pyramids You must be familiar with the shape of a pyramid. The base of a pyramid is broad and it narrows towards the apex. One gets a similar shape, whether you express the food or energy relationship between organisms 2022-23
