Transcript of flower and fruit

Gynoecium is the female

reproductive part of the

flower and is made up of

one or more carpels.

Gynoecium

Androecium

Androecium is composed of

stamens. Each stamen which

represents the male

reproductive organ consists of a

stalk or a filament and an

anther.

Pedicel

• The flower stem

Receptacle

• The place on the stem where floral organs

attach and originate.

Sepals

• Usually green; leaflike structures that

protect the flower, as it forms and

emerges.

Calyx

• The group of sepals on a flower

Petals

• Located just

inside the sepals

• Leaf-like and

often very

colorful

• Attract

pollinators

Corolla

• The collection of petals on a flower

Stamens

• Male reproductive parts of a flower

• Arranged around the female parts

Anther

• Part of the

stamen

• Produces and

holds pollen

Filament

• Stalk that holds up the anther

Stigma

• Found at the end

of the pistil

• Has a sticky

surface to catch

pollen

Ovary

• Part of the

pistil that

contains the

ovules

Ovule

• The part of the

flower in which

the eggs are

produced and

seeds develop

Pollination

Cross pollination

Bee goes into flower

Bee transports into another flower

Cross-Pollination• Insects other than bees may also cross-pollinate

such as:

Butterflies

Caterpillars

Mosquitos

Self-pollination

Self Pollination

• Bees and other animals bring pollen from

the flower’s own anthers to its stigma.

The bees collect the pollen from the Anther

and then gives it the Stigma

fruits

There are two types of fruits

1:fleshy fruits –wall of ovary becomes flashy

and bulky in some fruits are called fleshy

fruits e..g. mango lemon

2:dry fruits: the wall of ovary becomes dry in

some fruits at their maturity e.g . Pea , green

gram

Fleshy fruit

Dry fruits
