Describe the structure and function of various parts of a flower
Answers
Answer:
Most flowers have four main parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. The stamens are the male part whereas the carpels are the female part of the flower. ... Collectively, sepals are known as the calyx. The main function of the calyx and its sepals is to protect the flower before it blossoms(in the bud stage).
Parts of a flower
Structure Function
Sepals Protect the unopened flower
Petals May be brightly coloured to attract insects
Stamens The male parts of the flower (each consists of an anther held up on a filament)
Anthers Produce male sex cells (pollen grains)
The four main parts of a flower are the petals, sepals, stamen, and carpel (sometimes known as a pistil). If a flower has all four of these key parts, it is considered to be a complete flower. If any one of these elements is missing, it is an incomplete flower
