Stalk supporting the anther

C B

C

AntherTop end of stamen

Produces the pollen

draw inStamen-Contains the

filament + anther

-Male reproductive structures

D - pollen

• Male sex cells

E- Ovary

• Contains ovules• Becomes

the fruit

after

fertilizationZucchinni –ripened ovary

Fruit = mature ovary

F Style

• Style holds the pollen tube• Between stigma and ovary

Draw inCarpel (also called pistil)-Contains: stigma + style +ovary

-Female

reproductive

structures

#9

• Top of pistil• Sticky to

catch the pollen

G Stigma

H = Ovules-Egg cells-Become seeds, fruit, nuts afterfertilization

• Flower Dissection

I = Pollen Tube

• Tube that transports the pollen to the ovules

• Pollen Tube in Plants

• Pollen tube you tube

ADD J = SEPAL• green petal-like parts at the base of the

flower• help protect the developing bud
