Study Notes
Parts of A Flower
- Sepals are the protective, outer layers of the flower.
- Petals are the colorful, inner parts of the flower, often brightly colored.
- Stamens are the male reproductive parts. Each stamen has a filament (stalk) and an anther that produces pollen.
- Carpels (Pistil) are the female reproductive parts. They are composed of the stigma, style, and ovary.
- The stigma is the sticky surface that receives pollen.
- The style is a tube-like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary.
- The ovary contains ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization.
- Ovules are the structures inside the ovary that develop into seeds.
Cross Sections
- The diagram shows a longitudinal section (L.S) of a flower and a transverse or cross-section view of the ovary.
- The cross sections illustrate the internal structures and arrangement of the ovules within the ovary.
