Answer 1

2.The main difference between sepals and petals is that sepals are the green colour, leaf-like structures that form the outermost whorl whereas petals are the bright-colored petaloid structures which form the inner whorl.

3.The primary purpose of a flower is reproduction. Since the flowers are the reproductive organs of plant, they mediate the joining of the sperm, contained within pollen, to the ovules — contained in the ovary. Pollination is the movement of pollen from the anthers to the stigma.
