Problem Overview:
The task involves labeling parts of a flower and completing sentences about the flower's role in plant reproduction. The words provided in the box are:
ovary, petals, stigma, anthers, style.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Labeling the Parts of the Flower
We need to identify and label each part of the flower using the words provided in the box.
1.
Petals: These are the colorful parts of the flower that attract pollinators.
2.
Stigma: This is the sticky part at the top of the pistil where pollen grains land.
3.
Anthers: These are the structures on the stamens that produce and release pollen.
4.
Style: This is the stalk-like structure connecting the stigma to the ovary.
5.
Ovary: This is the base of the pistil where seeds develop after fertilization.
Using these definitions, we can label the diagram as follows:
-
Petals: The outermost colorful parts.
-
Stigma: The sticky tip at the top.
-
Anthers: The structures releasing pollen.
-
Style: The stalk connecting the stigma to the ovary.
-
Ovary: The base of the pistil.
#### Step 2: Completing the Sentences
Now, we use the labeled parts to complete the sentences provided in the worksheet.
1.
A flower is important in the life cycle of a plant because it contains the parts for reproduction. The colorful _______ and sepals protect the flower when it is in bud.
- The colorful parts are the
petals.
-
Answer: petals
2.
In the middle of the flower is the _______. Around the stigma are the _______.
- The central part is the
pistil, which includes the stigma, style, and ovary.
- Around the stigma are the
stamens, which include the anthers and filaments.
-
Answer: pistil, stamens
3.
Among the anthers is a golden dust called pollen. In the base of the flower is the _______.
- The base of the flower is the
ovary, where seeds develop after fertilization.
-
Answer: ovary
4.
Growing out of the ovary is the _______. When ripe, the anthers burst open sending out clouds of pollen.
- Growing out of the ovary is the
style, which connects the stigma to the ovary.
-
Answer: style
#### Final Answer:
-
Labeling the Diagram:
- Petals: Outer colorful parts.
- Stigma: Sticky tip at the top.
- Anthers: Structures releasing pollen.
- Style: Stalk connecting stigma to ovary.
- Ovary: Base of the pistil.
-
Completed Sentences:
1.
petals
2.
pistil, stamens
