  • These are the specialized reproductive structures of angiosperms.
    Flowers
  • It is the female organ of flower.
    Pistil
  • It is the male organ of the flower.

    Stamen
  • These are small, green, leaflike structures located at the base of a flower. They protect the flower bud. Collectively, they are called a 'calyx.'
    Sepals
  • Sepals are collectively known as...
    Calyx
  • Petals are collectively known as...
    Corolla
  • These generally are the highly colored portions of a flower. Like nectar glands, they may contain perfume.
    Petals
  • What is the stalk of a single flower called?
    Pedicel
  • This stalk protects the flower and the receptacle (part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached).
    Pedicel
  • It refers to the enlarged tip of the pedicel from which the floral parts arise.
    Receptacle
  • These parts are directly involved in pollination and fertilization.
    Reproductive Parts
  • Each stamen is composed of:
    1. Filament
    2. Anther
  • It is a yellowish, sac-like structure, involved in producing and storing the pollens.
    Anther
  • It is a thin stalk, threadlike object, which functions by attaching the anther to the rest of the flower.
    Filament
  • The calyx and corolla are collectively called the...
    Perianth
  • In this process, the male gametes are transferred to the female ovules where fertilization occurs and ovules grow into seeds within a fruit.
    Pollination
  • Pollen grains are collectively known as...
    Pollen
  • Each pistil is composed of:
    1. Style
    2. Ovary
    3. Stigma
  • It refers to either a simple pistil or one of the segments of a compound pistil.
    Carpel
  • A flower is composed of how many whorls?
    4
  • These are largely responsible for the radial arrangement of a flower.
    Whorls
  • It is the outermost whorl of a flower.
    Calyx
  • It is the second whorl of a flower. It contains petals.
    Corolla
  • It is the third whorl of the flower and is the male reproductive part.
    Stamen
  • It is the fourth whorl of the flower present in the center. It contains the pistil.
    Carpel
  • It is long tube-like slender stalk that connects the stigma and the ovary.
    Style
  • It is the tip of the pistil especially adapted to receive the pollen grains. It is often located atop a style.
    Stigma
  • This can develop into a seed when an egg is fertilized.
    Ovule
  • The tissue to which the ovules are attached is called the...
    Placenta
  • It is the ductless reproductive gland that holds a lot of ovule. It is the part of the plant where the seed formation takes place.
    Ovary
  • This refers to a flower having the entire accessory (calyx, corolla, stamen and pistil) parts.
    Complete Flower
  • This refers to a flower lacking any of the basic structures mentioned in the accessory and essential parts.
    Incomplete Flower
  • This flower has both the reproductive parts, such as stamen and pistil. They are considered bisexual or hermaphrodite.
    Perfect Flower
  • Gumala is an example of a...
    Complete Flower
  • Powder Puff Flower is an example of...
    Incomplete Flower
  • Lily flower is an example of...
    Perfect Flower
  • Squash Blossom is an example of a...
    Imperfect Flower
  • This flower lacks one of the reproductive parts. They are considered unisexual. If stamen is present, the flower is called "staminate," and if pistil is the one that is present, it is called "pistillaate."
    Imperfect Flower
  • This flower lacks petals (apetalous) or sepals (asepalous).
    Naked Flower
  • It refers to flowers with no petals.
    Apetalous
