Stem
Pistil / Carpel
*Stigma –top of the pistil, sticky surface for
pollen to stick to
*Style – connects the stigma to the ovary
*Ovary –contains ovules ( eggs)
Ovules – These are the egg cells of a
flower.
Stamen
*Anther – produces sperm nuclei by
meiosis. Sperm nuclei are enclosed
by pollen grains.
*Filament – holds the anther up
OTHER STRUCTURE OF FLOWERS
• Petals: This layer lies just above the sepal layer. They are often bright in
colour as their main function is to attract pollinators such as insects,
butterflies and others to the flower. The petals are collectively known as
the corolla.
• Sepals: These are the small, leaf-like parts growing at the base of the
petals.
• Receptacle: It is that part of the flower to which the stalk is attached
to. It is small and found at the center of the base of the flower.
• Stem is the main structural support for most complex plants
POLLINATION
• Transfer of mature pollen grains from the anther to the stigma
-wind
-insects
-birds & other animals
