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.
Ernest Z. The most important structural characteristic of aldehydes or ketones is the carbonyl group. Aldehydes and ketones are carbonyl compounds. Ketones have carbon atoms attached on either side of the carbonyl carbon. Aldehydes have either two hydrogen atoms (HâC=O) or one carbon and one hydrogen (RCH=O)directly attached to the carbonyl carbon. Most reactions of aldehydes and ketones are the same, because they involve the carbonyl group.
