what are the reproductive part of a plant deacribe its different parts
Answers
- As a plant's reproductive part, a flower contains a stamen (male flower part) or pistil (female flower part), or both, plus accessory parts such as sepals, petals, and nectar glands (Figure 19). The stamen is the male reproductive organ. It consists of a pollen sac (anther) and a long supporting filament.
Answer:
a plant's reproductive part, a flower contains a stamen (male flower part) or pistil (female flower part) or both and accessory parts such as sepals, petals, and nectar glands
Explanation:
- The female reproductive part in a plant is called the pistil.
- It consists of three parts- stigma, style and ovary.
- The sticky part at the top called a stigma.
- A thin tube passing down is called a style.
- A swollen sac-like structure at the bottom is called an ovary.
- The pollen grains are transferred onto the stigma which then travels down the style into the ovary, where it meets with the ovules and fertilization takes place
2. The male reproductive part in a plant is called stamen.
- It consists of anther and filament.
- The anther is a lobed structure which produces pollen grains.
- The filament is a slender stalk-like structure.
The initial function of sepals is to provide support and protection for a flower bud as they close up around it until it's ready to bloom. The sepals surround the petals and the reproductive organs inside the flower and protect them from harsh environmental conditions and drying out.
Nectar in flowers serves chiefly to attract pollinators, such as fruit-eating bats, hummingbirds, sunbirds, and insects. Nectaries are usually located at the base of the flower stamens, which draw animal visitors into contact with the pollen to be transferred.
