The document summarizes the parts of a flower and the process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants. It describes the key parts of a flower including the pistil (female) containing the stigma, style, and ovary, and the stamen (male) containing the filament and anther. It explains that the ovary houses the ovules containing egg cells, and the anther produces pollen. The document also summarizes the processes of megasporogenesis and megagametogenesis that produce the egg in the ovule, and microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis that produce pollen grains in the anther. Fertilization occurs when pollen lands on the stigma and a pollen tube delivers
Asexual reproduction is a process in which new organism is produced from a single parent without the involvement of gametes or cells. Many unicellular and multi cellular organisms reproduce asexually.
Discussion of the functions of leaves, focusing on Photosynthesis and the process. Also covers transpiration, O2 CO2 transfer, germination. Appropriate for high school level students.
Parts of a Flower
Sepals
Petals
Receptacle
Pistil
Stamen
Stamen
The stamen (plural stamina or stamens) is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower.
Filament- Supports the Anther
Anther- Produces Pollen Grains
Pistil
The ovule producing part of a flower.
The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a stigma. The mature ovary is a fruit, and the mature ovule is a seed. Stigma: The part of the pistil where pollen germinates.
Peduncle
The stalk of a flower.
Types of Flowers
Complete Flowers- have both male and female parts
Incomplete Flowers- have either male or female parts but not both.
Pollination
is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.

How Are Flowers Useful to Us?
Flowers are not just beautiful to look at,
but they also serve a vital role in our ecosystem.
Flowers help our ecosystem flourish and attract a plethora of life to the area and facilitate the expansion of our environment. If flowers are cut down or destroyed before pollination can occur, that particular species has a high chance of dying off in that area. In addition, local wildlife will also vanish in that area since they would have no food. Flowers help keep the ecosystem growing and provide new plant life, as well as help sustain local insects and birds.

The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
4. Two Types of Reproduction
Sexual – involves sex cells (egg, sperm)
Asexual – does not involve sex cells
5. Refer to p.125
In asexual
reproduction, the
parent cell is SINGLE
AND DIVIDING.
(ex. amoeba, hydra,
fungi, bacteria, etc.)
6. Refer to p.125
In sexual reproduction,
the offspring are
genetically identical
(exact clones) to their
parents.
(ex. humans,
elephants, dogs, fishes,
plants, etc.)
7.
8. Sexual Reproduction
Involves union of gametes
Gametes = sperm (male) +
egg (female)
Trivia: The egg is the largest
cell in the human body
while the sperm is the
smallest.
9. Sexual Reproduction
Sperm – mobile and small
Egg – immobile and large
During fertilization, they
unite (n + n) to form a
diploid (2n) zygote
(fertilized egg)
11. Flowering Plants
Comprises 90% of plant species
Classified as either:
1. Angiosperms – have seeds enclosed in
ovary
2. Anthophytes – plants that produce flowers.
They have an ovary that’s part of the
flower
24. Pistil or carpel
The female reproductive
organ
Collectively called
gynoecium (collective noun)
Composed of three parts:
1. Stigma
2. Style
3. Ovary
25. Stigma
Swollen tip of the
pistil
Function:
Covered by sticky
substance for
pollen grains to
adhere (stick) to
stigma Pollen grains
(purple dots)
26. Style
Function: Long,
slender tube that
connects the
stigma to the
ovary
Acts as a
conveyor (carrier
from one place to
another) of pollen
grains
style
32. Ovary
Ovary core –
solid structure
at the center
Placenta – the
edge of the
core; nourishes
the egg
core (yellow);
placenta (green)

37. Cross-section of an ovule
The ovule has the following parts:
1. Integument - 2 layer protective coat
2. Nucellus – mass of tissue consisting of
meristematic (dividing) cells
3. Funiculus
4. Embryo sac – contains the egg
39. Development of Gametophytes
(Egg) Two Stages
1. Megasporogenesis (genesis = beginning/creation) –
creation of megaspores
2. Megagametogenesis – creation of the gametes (egg)
40. Development of Gametophytes
(Egg)
1. Megasporogenesis
A. Ovule produces megaspore
mother cell (2n).
B. Megaspore mother cell
(2n) produces 4
megaspores (n) via a two-
time meiosis.
C. 3 megaspores die and only
one is left to continue.

B. Among the eight cells:
3 cells migrate near the micropyle.
The one at the center becomes the
egg while the other two becomes
the synergid cells.
The other 3 migrate on the opposite
pole and become antipodal cells.
The remaining 2 cells are naked (no
membrane) and remains at the
center to become the polar nuclei.

44. Egg Development in Ovule
C. These 8 cells form
the inside of the
embryo sac and are
ready to be
fertilized by a
pollen (from the
male).
45.
46. Pollen Development in the
Anther (Male)
Like egg development, pollen
development undergoes meiosis and
mitosis to produce pollen grains.
The product is 2 pollen grains.
1. Microsporogenesis – creation of
microspore
2. Microgametosgenesis – creation
of male gametes (pollen)
