Blog Post #10 Anthers and Stigmas and Styles, Oh My!

Anther

At the tip of a flowers filament is a anther, an anther is the part of the stamen where pollen is produced. 

Stigma

Stigma is the part of the pistil where pollen germinates.

Ovule

This is the part that has the embryo sac and hence the female germ well, which after fertilization turns  into a seed.

Angiosperms are also called flowering plants. They bear their seeds with a layer of tissue that protects them. Angiosperms could also be grasses, trees and shrubs, and all wildflowers and species of flowers. They are members of the phylum Anthophyta. They have unique reproductive organs that are also known as flowers. They contain ovaries, which cover and protect all of the seeds.

This was the first picture of the flower.  This was before we stripped away any parts and dissected it under a microscope.

The pollen lands on the sticky stigma and that is what is able to fertilize the flower and make it fertile. There are the parts: the carpel which produce female gametophytes; the anther Which is where the stage of meiosis takes place. The whole flower has a life cycle just like humans.

This is the anthers surrounding the stigma. The anthers are important because they are crucial to the reproduction.

This is the male reproductive anatomy which is called the stamen. This is important because the anther part of the stamen produces and releases pollen grains which have the sperm cells.

This is the female anatomy called the carpel and this is important because it's where the pollen gets stuck






I don't have a picture of the ovules but they are important because after a while they would be useful seeds.
