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.
The functional group on aldehydes and ketones is a carbonyl group (double bond oxygen to a carbon). In aldehydes, the carbonyl group is on the end of a carbon chain, while in ketones, it is in the middle of a carbon chain. The double bond in the carbonyl group is very susceptible to chemical. reactions.
