Plants are like any other living organism. They need to reproduce. Male reproductive organ of flowers are filament and anthers while female reproductive are stigma, ovary ovule. Students must learn how to label and determine the function of each part.
| Structure | Function |
|---|---|
| Sepals | Protect the unopened flower |
| Petals | May be brightly coloured to attract insects |
| Stamens | The male parts of the flower (each consists of an anther held up on a filament) |
| Anthers | Produce male sex cells (pollen grains) |
| Stigma | The top of the female part of the flower which collects pollen grains |
| Ovary | Produces the female sex cells (contained in the ovules) |
| Nectary | Produce a sugary solution called nectar, which attracts insects |
