Write the parts of a flower.
Answers
ANSWER + EXPLANATION :
Although all flowers are different, they have several things in common that make up their basic anatomy. The four main parts of a flower are the petals, sepals, stamen, and carpel (sometimes known as a pistil). If a flower has all four of these key parts, it is considered to be a complete flower. If any one of these elements is missing, it is an incomplete flower
Sepals are the exterior parts of a flower that protect the interior flower.....
Petals
Petals exist to draw pollinators to the flower. It is for this reason that they are often brightly colored, showy, and of interesting patterns and sizes.
Stamens
The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower. Each stamen contains main parts.
The anther is where the pollen is produced, and each anther contains many grains of pollen that each have the male reproductive cells present in them.
Carpel
The carpel, which is also sometimes called the pistil, is the female reproductive organ of a flower.
The stigma features a flat surface.....
Corolla
The corolla presents differently in different types of flowers, but it always makes up the inner perianth that immediately surrounds the reproductive part of the plant.
The corolla attracts pollinators to the plant with its vivid coloring and interesting scents, except for in the case of flowers that are pollinated by the wind.
Filament
The filament is the thin tubular part of the stamen that extends and supports the pollen sac at the top.
Ovary
The ovary produces and contains unfertilized seeds. It sits centrally inside the flower at the base of the carpel. Once fertilized, it is the ovary that develops into the fruit of the plant.
Ovule
Ovules are contained within the ovary, and in the event of successful pollination, they will become the seed of the fruit.
Anther
The anther sits at the top of the filament of a stamen and produces and contains the pollen.
Style
The style is the elongated part of a carpel that joins the ovary to the stigma. It is the tube through which pollen is delivered to the ovary.
Stigma
The stigma sits at the top of the carpel, and its job is to capture pollen. It is often sticky in texture or contains tiny hair-like structures to help pollen adhere to its surface.
Receptacle
A receptacle sits at the top of a stalk underneath the main portion of the flower. It is often enlarged to support the weight of the flower, or the fruit when it develops.
Peduncle
A peduncle is the stalk of a flower, or the stem from which a cluster of flowers bloom.
Pedicel
A pedicel is the secondary stalk from which flowers grow off the main stem. Only plants that have inflorescence in the form of clusters or similar will have pedicels.
Perianth
A perianth is the scientific term for the parts of the flower that surround the reproductive organs.
Calyx
The calyx is the technical term for a group of sepals, leaf-like structures that surround and protect the bud as it forms into a flower.
