Study Notes
Flower Structure and Functions
- Ovary: Responsible for holding seeds, essential for plant reproduction.
- Pistil: The female reproductive part of the flower, containing the ovary, style, and stigma.
- Stigma: A crucial component that catches pollen, facilitating pollination of seeds within the ovary.
- Style: The tube-like structure that allows pollen to travel from the stigma to the ovary, playing a vital role in reproduction.
- Stamen: The male reproductive part of the flower, consisting of the anther and filament.
- Anther: The location where pollen is produced, serving as a source of male gametes.
- Filament: A supportive structure that holds the anther in position, ensuring effective pollen dispersion.
- Sepals: Protective leaf-like structures that cover and shield the flower bud before blooming.
- Petal: Colorful leaf-like components that attract pollinators such as insects and birds, aiding in the pollination process.
- Stem: Provides structural support to the plant or flower, elevating it for better sunlight exposure.
- Roots: Anchors the plant securely in the soil while absorbing water and nutrients, essential for growth and survival.
