 All flowers have the same function  Reproductive structure of angiosperms

 Sepals and Petals  Stamens  Pistils  Ovary  Some flowers do not have all the parts

 Protect the developing flower  Enclosed in Sepals when flower is a bud  Often green in color

 Colorful leaf-like structures  Shape, size, and number can vary from flower to flower

 Most flowers have male and female reproductive parts  Stamens are the male reproductive structure  Stalk = filament  Top = anther  Pollen is produced in the anther

 Female reproductive structure  Found in center of the flower  Can have more than one  Tip = stigma  Tube = style

 Found at the bottom of the pistal  Protects seeds as they develop  Can have more then one ovule

 Color, shape, and sent attract animals  Insects, birds, bats etc.

 Pollination  Fertilization  Fruit Development  Seed Dispersal

 Grain of pollen falls on the stigma  Nectar (sugar) located deep inside the flower  Animals want nectar  Brush against the anthers  Some pollen can drop on stigma as animal leaves

 Pollen falls into stigma and meets the ovule  Can fall into same flower or another similar one  Sperm meets egg to become a zygote  Then develops into the seed embryo

 As seed develops, ovary changes into a fruit  Can incase one or more seeds  Examples: apples, peas, peppers, tomatoes

 Fruit is meant to be eaten  Animals that eat the fruit will help disperse the seeds

 2 types Monocots Dicots

 3 or multiple of 3 petals on flowers  Long slender leaves, veins run parallel to each other  Random bundles of vascular tissue scatter through the stems

 4 or 5 petals, or multiples of those, in the flower  Wide leaves with branching veins  Bundles of vascular tissue arranged in rings
