Flowers are specialized plant structures used for sexual reproduction. The most visible part of the flower used
to attract potential pollinators are the
1
Lcollectively called the
2__. This whorl may be
surrounded by small structures called
3
that often resemble leaves, collectively called the
4
As a whole, this entire part of the flower (#2 and #4) is known as the
5
The stem of the flower is known
as the
and attaches to the
7__
or the base of the flower.
Flowers can be male, female, or bisexual. The male part of the flower is called the
8
which is
divided into a long, supportive stalk called a(n)
and a structure called a(n)
10
,which
makes the pollen. The female part of the flower is called the
11
,which is divided into a platform where
pollen grains can land called a
12
and a long hollow tube called a
13
that leads to the
14 which is where the eggs can be found.
Flowers have two different types of symmetry. Bilaterally symmetrical flowers, also known as
15
can be divided into two equal halves, while radially symmetrical flowers, also known as
16
can be divided
into three or more equal parts.
One other means of differentiating flowers is by the position of their ovaries. Ovaries that are
17
are above the attachment of the floral parts while ovaries that are
18
are below the attachment of the
floral parts.
Most of the angiosperms can be classified into the phylum Anthophyta, which has two major classes. One is
the class
19
which has flowers with floral parts occurring in 4's, 5's or many. The other class is the
20
and has flowers with floral parts occurring in 3's and 6's.
