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.
ReproductiveParts
Each stamen is composed of:
Filament
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:
Style
Ovary
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.

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).
