Study Notes
Flower Structure and Parts
- Stigma: The sticky surface of the pistil that collects pollen during pollination.
- Style: The elongated part of the pistil that holds up the stigma.
- Ovary: The bulbous base of the pistil where the ovules are housed, leading to fruit development.
- Ovules: The structures within the ovary that develop into seeds after fertilization.
- Pistil: The female reproductive part of the flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary.
Male Reproductive Parts
- Anther: The portion of the stamen that produces pollen, essential for fertilization.
- Filament: The stalk that supports the anther, ensuring it is positioned for effective pollen dispersal.
- Stamen: The male part of the flower, comprising the anther and filament.
Floral Organ Roles
- Petals: Typically vibrant parts of the flower that attract pollinators to facilitate reproduction.
- Sepals: Protective leaf-like structures that encase and protect the developing flower bud.
Key Relationships and Functions
- Female parts of the pistil: stigma, style, ovary, and ovules work together for reproduction and seed development.
- Male parts of the stamen: anther and filament are responsible for pollen production and transfer.
- The ovary plays a direct role in fruit formation, containing ovules that develop post-fertilization.
- The function of petals is to allure pollinators, while sepals provide initial protection to the flower before blooming.
