Describe the structure of typical flower with digram
Answers
Answer:
A typical flower has four main parts—or whorls—known as the calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium . The outermost whorl of the flower has green, leafy structures known as sepals. ... The innermost group of structures in the flower is the gynoecium, or the female reproductive component(s).
Stamens : The male parts of the flower (each consists of an anther held up on a filament)
Anthers : Produce male sex cells (pollen grains)
Stigma : The top of the female part of the flower which collects pollen grains.
Ovary : Produces the female sex cells (contained in the ovules)
Style : the stalk that supports the stigma and connects it to the ovary.
Filament : A stalk-like structure that attaches to the base of the flower and supports the anther.
Sepal : Modified leaves that form the outer whorl of a flower and are the first part of a flower to form. Sepals protect the developing flower and keep it from drying out.
Petals : Modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers.
