  1. THE FLOWER Packet #74 Chapters 30 & 38

  2. THE PETALS The Petals Figure 30.7Page 598 • Petals are often brightly colored and of various shapes • Aid in attracting pollinators • Also considered sterile floral parts. • Within the ring of petals are the fertile sporophytes, stamens and carpels.

  3. STAMENS Stamens Figure 30.7Page 598 • The stamens are the male reproductive organs and is one of the fertile floral parts • Sporophytes produce the microspores that develop into male gametophytes. • Composed of a terminal sac called an anther where pollen is produced. • Anther is also supported by a stalk called a filament.

  4. CARPEL Carpel Figure 30.7Page 598 • Carpels are the female reproductive organs and are the fertile floral parts • Sporophytes produce megaspores which develop into female gametophytes. • The tip of carpel is a sticky stigma that collects pollen • Style leads to the ovary at the base of the carpel • Inside the ovary are ovules • Develop into seeds if fertilized

  5. ADAPTATIONS IN FLOWERS OVER THE YEARS • In certain flowers, one or more of the four floral whorls have been eliminated. • There are also a variety of flower shapes, sizes and colors which represent adaptations to pollinators.

  6. FLOWER TERMINOLOGY

  7. TERMINOLOGY • Complete flowers • Four floral whorls • Incomplete flowers • Lacking one or more of the four floral shorls • Bisexual flower • Have stamen and carpels • Known as perfect flowers but can be complete or incomplete • Unisexual flower • Imperfect flowers • Staminate flowers if only the male organs are present • Carpellate flowers if only the female organs are present

  8. TERMINOLOGY II Cucumber Plant and Female Ginkgo Tree • Monoecious Plants • Plants have staminate and carpellate flowers on the same plant • Corn • Cucumber • Dioecious Plants • Plants have staminate and carpellate flowers on different plants • Ginkgos • Date palms
