Vegetative cell function
It has abundant food supply
Difference between monocarpellary and multicarpellary flower
Carpel (pistil)(Gynocieum)
Many carpel :multi
Single carpel:mono
If in multicatpellary flower the carpel is fused , what is it called and give and example
Syncarpus eg.Papaver
If in multicatpellary flower the carpel is free , what is it called and give and example
Apocarpus eg: Michellia
Example of ovary with single ovule
Mango , Wheat , Rice
Example of ovary with many ovules
Watermelon , Papaya ,Orchids
Funicles
Stalk like structure which remains attached to placenta
Integument
The outer protective envelope
Micropyle
The point where integument is absent
