Flower Anatomy and Pollination Quiz

Flower Structure

• The pistil, a central part of the flower, consists of three main components: style, stigma, and ovary.
• The stigma is the pollen-receiving surface, the style is the narrow tube connecting the stigma to the ovary, and the ovary is the reproductive organ that contains ovules.

Pollination

• Geitonogamy is the term for the transfer of pollen from one flower to another flower of the same plant.

Reproductive Organs

• The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of filaments and anthers that produce pollen.

Sepals

• Sepals are the green, leaf-like structures that protect the flower bud before it opens, and they often resemble petals.

Flower Types

• Unisexual flowers are those that have only one type of reproductive organ, either male or female.
