Study Notes
Plant Morphology
- Plant morphology is the study of the shape and structure of plants.
Flower Structure
- The outermost whorl of leaves in a flower is called the calyx.
- The structure in a flower that represents the female sexual organ is the gynoecium.
- The androecium represents the male sexual organ in a flower.
- In the androecium of a flower, the anther produces pollen and eventually opens, releasing the pollen.
- The calyx protects the flower bud before it opens.
- The male sexual organ in a flower is represented by the androecium.
- The corolla attracts pollinators and guides them to the reproductive parts of the flower.
- The gynoecium is responsible for producing ovules, which contain the female gametes.
- The structure in a flower composed of sepals and forming the outermost whorl of leaves is the calyx.
