structure of flowers
pedicel
receptacle
appendages
types of appendages
perianths
stamens
carpels
flower stalk
pedicle
holds the flower part
receptacle
sepals + petals
perianths
male part
stamens
female part
carpels
parts of perianths
sepals (calyx)
petals (corolla)
protects flowers when in bud
sepals
attracts pollinating insects
petals
parts of the stamen
anther
filament
lobes containing pollen sacs
anther
stalk that holds the anther
filament
parts of carpel
stigma
style
ovary
receives the pollen
stigma
supports the stigma
style
contains ovules that store the female gametes
ovary
classification of flowers
complete
incomplete
perfect
imperfect
possess all 3 appendages
complete
lack one or more appendages
incomplete
possess both stamen and carpel
perfect
possess either stamen or carpel but not both
imperfect
holds the ovary
hypanthium or floral cup
ovary positions
hypogenous
perigenous
epigenous
superior ovary
hypogenous
hypanthium surrounds the ovary
perigenous
inferior ovary
epigenous
they are located inside the ovary
ovules
attaches the ovaries to the ovule
funiculus
structures of the ovules
integuments nucellus embryo sac micropylar end chalazal ends synergids
opening that allows pollen to enter the ovule
micropylar ends
opposite of micropylar end where nucleus is joined by integuments
chalazal ends
produce signals that guides the pollen
synergids
protective layer surrounding the ovule
integuments
