Describe with help of a diagram the structure and function of the different parts of the flower
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The vegetative part of a flower consists of the following:
Petals: This is a bright-coloured part that attracts bees, insects, and birds. The colour of petals varies from plant to plant; some are bright while some are pale coloured. Thus, petals help us to differentiate one flower from another.
Sepals: Sepal is the green-coloured part beneath the petals to protect rising buds. Some flowers have fused petals-sepals while a few have separated petals-sepals.
The reproductive parts of a flower consist of the following:
Stamen: This is the male reproductive organ and is also known as Androecium. It consists of two parts namely: anther and filaments.
The anther is a yellowish, sac-like structure, involved in producing and storing the pollens.
The filament is a slender, threadlike object, which functions by supporting the anther.
Pistil: This is the innermost part and the female reproductive organ of a flower which comprises three parts -stigma, style and ovary. This is collectively known as the pistil.
Stigma: It is the topmost part or receptive tip of carpels in the gynoecium of a flower.
Style: It is the long tube-like slender stalk that connects the stigma and the ovary.
Ovary: It is the ductless reproductive gland that holds a lot of ovules. It is the part of the plant where the seed formation takes place.
