Reply:sieve tubes and companion cells are phloem elements, tracheids are xylem elements, guard cells belong to stomata.





Fertilization, think about it....Where is the egg...the ovule.


Pollen tube is male tissue, stigma is the receptor for the pollen, the central nucleus is in the ovule and is the recipient of only half of the double fertilization event.





Megaspores are female and become eggs, microspores are male and become pollen (regardless of vascular plant species). Gametophytes are haploid (ie pollen and ovule) sporophytes are diploid (usually the adult plant).





Flowers... female have pistils, males have stamens, complete means "contains all floral organs", incomplete means "missing one or more floral organs" (male flowers are missing female organs, female flowers are missing male organs).





Walnuts are heavy (don't fly), have no barbs (for catching in fur), and are not generally found around large bodies of water.
