Answer 1

ANSWER

All flowers contain 4 whorls

Calyx

• It is the outermost whorl.

• Also known as sepals.

• They provide protection to the petals.

Corolla

• Also known as petals.

• Attractive Part of the plant.

• Used to attract pollinators.

Androecium

• Male part of the flower

• Consists of Stamens.

• Stamens consist of anther and a filament.

Gynoecium

• Female part of the flower.

• Consists of Stigma, Style and Ovary

                                                     

Answer 2

Answer:-

The Four Whorls of a flower are known as :-

• Calyx
• Corolla
• stamens
• Carpels

Explanation:-

Here we going to know about the four whorls of a flower:-

$\bigstar$ The Calyx

The calyx, which is the outermost whorl of a flower, protects the inner whorls, especially when the flower is in its bud state. The calyx is made up of sepals, which are two small green structures at the flower’s base that look like tiny leaves.

$\bigstar$ The Corolla

The second whorl of the flower is the corolla, which is composed of the flower’s petals. The petals serve two purposes: to protect the reproductive organs of the flower and to attract pollinators. Because of this second purpose, they are usually brightly colored and scented so that animals and insects will come close to them and move around the flower’s pollen. The first two whorls of the flower – the calyx and the corolla – are collectively called the perianth.

$\bigstar$ The Stamens

The third whorl of a flower is the stamen, the male reproductive part. The stamen is made of a thin vertical thread-like structure called a filament topped with a circular or oblong structure called an anther. The anther produces pollen, which is the male contribution to the reproduction process in plants.

$\bigstar$ The Carpels

At the center of the flower is the fourth whorl – the carpels, which contain the pistil of the flower. The pistil is the plant’s female reproductive organ, which is composed of three parts: the ovary, the style, and the stigma. The ovary contains the eggs, or ovules, of the plant, and when the ovules are fertilized, the ovary sometimes turns into a fruit to house the seed. The top of the ovary leads to a vertical structure called a style, which supports the stigma.
