Longitudinal WaveA wave is a disturbance of a medium which transports energy through the medium without permanently transporting matter. In a wave, particles of the medium are temporarily displaced and then return to their original position. There are a variety of ways to categorize waves. One way to categorize waves is to say that there are longitudinal and transverse waves. In a transverse wave, particles of the medium are displaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transport. In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium are displaced in a direction parallel to energy transport. The animation below depicts a longitudinal pulse in a medium.The animation portrays a medium as a series of particles connected by springs. As one individual particle is disturbed, it transmits the disturbance to the next interconnected particle. This disturbance continues to be passed on to the next particle. The result is that energy is transported from one end of the medium to the other end of the medium without the actual transport of matter. In this type of wave - a longitudinal wave - the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport.<span>

Which of the following structures in a flower is not directly involved in reproduction?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The correct answer is C. The sepal

Explanation:

Plants reproduction includes different types of sexual and asexual reproduction. In the case of sexual reproduction that implies gametes of different plants being fused through fertilization, this occurs through different structures in flowers which are the reproductive structures in many plants. This includes the pistil that produces ovules and it is considered as the female organ in plants, the style, and stigma that are part of the pistil, the statement that contains pollen or male gametophyte and therefore is considered as the male organ and includes the anther and filament. However, the sepal is not part of this reproductive system as these are structures similar to leaves that are in the base of the flower and protect this before it opens or blossoms.
