Identify the parts of a flower and state their functions. What is the relationship between the fruit and the seed?

Here are the answers to the questions about the structures:

a) Identify each of the structures C, D and E.

• C: Stamen
• D: Fruit
• E: Seed

c) State one function of each of the parts labelled I, II, III, IV, VI and VII.
(Referring to the labels from the first flower diagram you sent)

• I (Stigma): Receives pollen grains during pollination.
• II (Anther): Produces and contains pollen grains.
• III (Petal): Attracts pollinators.
• IV (Sepal): Protects the flower bud.
• VI (Receptacle): The part of the flower stalk where the floral organs are attached.
• VII (Filament): Supports the anther.

d) What is the relationship between the structures D and E?

• The fruit (D) develops from the ovary of a flower after fertilization and encloses the seed(s) (E). Therefore, the seed (E) is contained within the fruit (D).
