1. Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
a) Flower Structure & Gamete Formation

2. Learning objectives(1/4)
State the structure & function of the floral parts including: Sepal, petal, stamen, carpel)
State that the Pollen grain produces male gamete.
State that the Embryo sac produces an egg cell & polar nuclei.

3. Structure of the flower

4. Structure of the flower

5. Structure of the flower
Anther
Filament
Stamen
Stigma
Style
Ovary
Ovule
Sepal
Petal
Carpel

7. Function of floral parts
Sepal : To protect the flower (and to prevent it from drying out
Petals : To attract insects to the flower for pollination

8. Function of floral parts
Stamen : To produce the pollen grains in the anthers. (Each pollen grain produces two male gametes, one of which can fertilise an egg cell)

9. Function of floral parts -Stamen
Anther
Produces pollen
Filament
Holds the anther in place

10. Function of floral parts
Carpel : To produce the ovules (Each ovule contains an egg cell inside an embryo sac)

11. Function of floral parts - Carpel
Stigma
Where pollen lands after pollination
Style
Pollen travels down this
Ovary
Contains ovules &eggs)
