Key Points
- In an angiospermic flower, the organs are arranged in concentric circles called whorls.
- The outermost whorl consists of sepals, which protect the flower bud.
- The second whorl consists of petals, which are usually colorful and attract pollinators.
- The third whorl consists of stamens, which are the male reproductive organs and produce pollen.
- The innermost whorl consists of pistils (or carpels), which are the female reproductive organs and contain the ovary.
Additional Information
- Sepals
- They are usually green and leaf-like structures that enclose the flower bud.
- Sepals provide protection to the developing flower and support the petals when in bloom.
- Petals
- Petals are often brightly colored to attract insects and other pollinators.
- They play a crucial role in the reproductive process by facilitating pollination.
- Stamens and Pistils
- Stamens consist of anthers and filaments, where anthers produce pollen grains containing male gametes.
- Pistils consist of the ovary, style, and stigma, where the ovary contains ovules that develop into seeds after fertilization.
