Answer 1

Answer:

• Petals: This is a bright-coloured part that attracts bees, insects, and birds. 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.
• Anther: Produce male sex cells (pollen grains)
• Filament: The filament is responsible for getting the pollen-bearing anther as close to the top of the pistil as possible because this is the location where pollen will be transferred to the female reproductive organ.
• Stigma: The stigma is located in the gynoecium of the flower. Its main function is to attract the pollen grains from the air with its sticky tip for reproduction to take place.
• Ovary: The ovaries produce the egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in response to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle.
• Ovules: The ovule is the organ that forms the seeds of flowering plants. It is borne in the ovary of the flower and consists of nucellus protected by integuments, precursors of embryo/endosperm, and seed coat, respectively.
• Nectary: The function of a nectary is to produce nectar, a sweet solution. This sweet solution attracts insects and other small organisms to the flowers.
• Sepals: The sepal is a defensive organ that encloses and protects the developing reproductive structures. At maturity, the sepal opens when the flower blooms.
• Stamen: Stamens are the male reproductive organs of flowering plants. They consist of an anther, the site of pollen development, and in most species a stalk-like filament, which transmits water and nutrients to the anther and positions it to aid pollen dispersal.
• Carpel: The Carpel is a female part of a flower. 1.When the pollen grain gets onto the Stigmathey germinate to send pollen tubes in the embryo sac of each ovule and get the ovule fertilized. 2. The carpel is then converted into a fruit and the ovules become seeds.
