Flower No Labels Quiz

Study Notes

Stamen

Male reproductive part of the flower, essential for pollen production.
Composed of two main structures: anther and filament.

Anther

Located at the tip of the stamen.
Produces and stores pollen grains, which contain male gametes.

Filament

A slender stalk that supports the anther.
Connects the anther to the main body of the flower, enabling pollen transfer.

Stigma

Part of the pistil (female part), located at the top of the style.
Receives pollen during fertilization, playing a crucial role in reproduction.

Style

The slender column that connects the stigma to the ovary.
Provides a pathway for pollen tubes to travel after pollination.

Ovary

The swollen base of the pistil that houses the ovules.
After fertilization, it develops into fruit and seeds.

Carpel

The individual female reproductive unit of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary.
Flowers can have multiple carpels, either separate or fused.

Sepal

Leaf-like structures that protect the flower bud before it opens.
Often green, sepals form the outermost whorl of the flower.

Ovule

Structure within the ovary that develops into a seed after fertilization.
Contains female gametes and is crucial for sexual reproduction.

Petal

Brightly colored parts of a flower that attract pollinators.
Play a significant role in the reproductive process by aiding in pollination.
