    Study Notes

    Flower Parts Overview

    • Flowers consist of distinct parts that play critical roles in reproduction and protection.

    Pistil

    • The female reproductive structure of a flower, composed of four key components.

    Stamen

    • The male reproductive part of the flower, made up of two essential components.

    Petal

    • Brightly colored and visually attractive parts of the flower, serving to attract pollinators.

    Sepal

    • Leaf-like structures that encase and protect the flower bud prior to blooming.

    Receptacle

    • The base of the flower from which the pistil and stamen emerge, providing support.

    Stigma

    • The sticky tip of the pistil where pollen deposits occur, initiating fertilization.

    Style

    • A slender stalk connecting the stigma to the ovary in the female part of the flower.

    Ovary

    • Located at the base of the flower, it contains ovules and develops into the fruit post-fertilization.

    Ovule

    • Found within the ovary, this structure matures into a seed following fertilization.

    Anther

    • Part of the stamen, often yellow, holding pollen grains; located at the tip of a stalk.

    Filament

    • A hair-like stalk that supports the anther and is integral to the male reproductive part of the flower.
