Study Notes
Parts of a Flowering Plant and Their Functions
- Anther: Produces pollen, the male gametes necessary for reproduction.
- Filament: Supports the anther, providing a stable structure for pollen production and dispersal.
- Stigma: Receives pollen during pollination, acting as a landing site for pollen grains.
- Style: Connects the stigma to the ovary, facilitating the growth of pollen tubes for fertilization.
- Ovary: Contains ovules and develops into fruit after fertilization, protecting seeds and aiding in their dispersal.
- Petal: Attracts insects and birds for pollination through color and fragrance.
- Sepal: Protects the flower bud before blooming and supports the flower once it has opened.
Root Functions
- Primary Roots: Anchor the plant into the soil, absorb water and nutrients, and store energy.
- Secondary Roots: Increase surface area for absorption and enhance stability and nutrient uptake.
General Functions
- Connects roots to the leaves and flowers: The vascular system facilitates transportation of water and food throughout the plant, supporting growth and reproduction.
