Parts of a Flower

Introduction

Flowers are wonderful creations of nature, and are one of the most beautiful gifts of nature.  Flowers are of utmost importance in every sphere of human life.  They can feed insects, birds, animals, and humans;  provide natural medicines for humans and some animals; and aid in a plant's reproduction by enticing outside pollinators.  Without flowers, plants would merely be green, and the world would be a duller place. Knowing the different parts of the flowers will introduce one on how plants reproduce and how they are important to people.  In this webquest, the user will understand  the male and female parts of a flower and know their role in our environment.

Conclusion

Flowers play an important role in our environment because they can feed animals and humans, provide natural medicines, aid in a plant's reproduction by pollination, and keep the environment attractive and beautiful.  A plant has two main parts, the male part and the female part.  The male part called Stamen, consists of the anther and filament which holds the pollen grains and makes them susceptible to pollination.  The female part called Carpel, consists of the stigma, style, and the ovary, and is responsible for the germination of the pollen. Knowing the function and importance of the parts of the flowers will make people aware that they should really take good care of them.  People should not take them for granted and use them in ways that will destroy them.
