Sporophytes (2n) undergo meiosis to produce spores that develop into gametophytes (1n) which undergo mitosis. Describe the role of the sporophyte and gametophyte in plant reproduction. The diploid stage of a plant (2n), the sporophyte, bears a sporangium, an organ that produces spores during meiosis.
In chemistry, a ketone (alkanone) /ËkiËtoÊn/ is an organic compound with the structure RC(=O)R', where R and R' can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents. Ketones and aldehydes are simple compounds that contain a carbonyl group (a carbon-oxygen double bond).etones differ from aldehydes in that the carbonyl group (CO) is bonded to two carbons within a carbon skeleton. In aldehydes, the carbonyl is bonded to one carbon and one hydrogen and are located at the ends of carbon chains.
INTRODUCING ALDEHYDES AND KETONES. This page explains what aldehydes and ketones are, and looks at the way their bonding affects their reactivity. It also considers their simple physical properties such as solubility and boiling points. Details of the chemical reactions of aldehydes and ketones are described on separate pages. What are aldehydes and ketones? Aldehydes and ketones as carbonyl compounds. Aldehydes and ketones are simple compounds which contain a carbonyl group - a carbon-oxygen double bond.
