PLANTS
A complete flower has the following parts: receptacle, sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils (carpels )
1.receptacle- is the enlarged upper end of flower stalk which bears the flower or group of
flowers.
2. sepals - are modified leaves which enclose and protect the other parts of a flower when
it is still a bud.
• When a flower blooms the sepals supports the bottom of the flower.
• A group of sepals is called Calyx
3. Petals - the brightly colored parts that attracts insects during pollination.
A group of petals is called corolla
4. stamen – the male part of a flower. It consist of filament and anther
A. filament- holds the anther in a position tall enough to release the pollen.
B. anther- consist of two lobes that contain pollen sacks.it has pollen grains that are
released by the anther when it matures.
C. pollen grains- contain the male gametes.
5. Pistil or carpel is the female part of the flower. It consists of the stigma, style and ovary.
A. ovary - contains two or more ovules. Within the ovule is the female games or egg
cell
called ovum.
B. style- a stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary, tall enough to trap the pollen
grains.
C. stigma – a swollen structure at the end of the style. It receives the pollen grains.
Mature stigma secretes a fluid that stimulates the pollen grain s to
germinate.
Flowering plants reproduce sexually and asexually.
Sexual reproduction--- starts in the flower which produce seeds.
--takes place when flowers produce seeds after pollination and fertilization.
Pollination - is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same or of
another
flower of the same kind.
Fertilization --- takes place in the ovary when the sperm cell unites with the egg cell.
The ovary becomes the fruit. The ovules becomes the seeds.
Asexual reproduction - is producing new plants with no sex cells involved. Non-flowering plants
do not have flowers, so they do not produce seeds.
New plants can be reproduced asexually through the following kinds of plants with examples.
a. Rhizomes – creeping underground stems –ginger
b. Tuber-enlarged root – camote, ube, potato,gabi, potato
c. Bulb – enlarged leaves -onion
d. Runners/stolons – long slender stems- grass and strawberries
e. Suckers-underground shoots –banana
f. Leaf Cutting – katakataka, welcome, begonia
g. Stem Cutting – San Francisco,etc.
Flowering and seed-bearing plants through:

Pollination- the first step in the sexual reproduction of flowering plants. It is the transfer of
pollen
from the stamen to the pistil of the flower.
Seed dispersal - the process by which seeds are brought to new places where they could grow
and
develop. Animals, winds, and water are some agents of seed dispersal.
Seed Germination- the last part of reproduction in flowering plants. When the conditions are
favorable such as good soil, warmth, and enough water, the seed will
germinate.
Other plants reproduce through the formation of spores instead of seeds. They are mosses, ferns,
gymnosperms or conifers and liverworts.
Conifers--- are woody trees with needle-like leaves that reduce water loss during dry or cold
climates. ---plants that bear seeds within a cone.
---It develops many cones and one tree can produce both male and female cones.
---Male cones produce the pollen grains with sperm cells
---Female cones contain the ovule with two to three egg cells.
