• Filament is a long, thin structure that anchors the anther to the base of the flower
• Anther is the part of the stamen that houses and produces the pollen. It is the part of the stamen that is attached to the filament.
• Pollen grains are the male sex cells of the flower. They are produced in the anther and are released by the anther into the air.
• Pistil is the female part of the flower that contains the stigma, style, ovary and ovules.
• Stigma is part of the pistil that is found in the center of the flower that helps to collect pollen
• Style is part of the pistil and is the stalk that supports the stigma and connects it to the ovary. It assists with fertilization by being the location where pollen tubes travel to deliver sperm cells to the egg
• ovule is part of the pistil that houses the egg cells and receives pollen from another angiosperm
• ovary is part of the pistil that prepares the ovule for fertilization, protect developing zygote, and develop a seed-bearing fruit
