Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students shall have:
1. identified the parts of the flower;
2. explained the processes in flowering plant reproduction and development;
3. compare and contrast different types of plant life cycles;
4. valued the importance of bisexual structures in flowering plants; and
5. illustrated the parts of the flower.
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC)
● demonstrate an understanding of Plant Reproductive Organs and their Functions.

A. Getting Started
Welcome to another week of meaningful learning! The lesson this week
will get you to discover about plants reproduction and development.

How do sunflowers reproduce? Sexual or

Asexual? And why it is different from other
plants?
Proceed to the in-depth explanation about the Plants Reproduction and Development

B. Exploring the Lesson

Proceed to the PPT presentation found in the folder of General Biology 2: Plants
Development and Reproduction.
Relevant Vocabulary
1. Gametophyte - Stage of the life cycle of a plant that is
haploid; stage that produces gametes via mitosis; these
gametes fuse to form a zygote that develops into a
sporophyte
2. Sporophyte - Stage of the life cycle of a plant that is
diploid; it is the most recognizable structure in most
flowering plants; it produces haploid spores by meiosis in
structures called sporangia
3. Haplontic life cycle - Life cycle where the haploid stage
(gametophyte) is multicellular and the only diploid stage is
the fertilized egg cell
4. Haplodiplontic life cycle - Life cycle that includes
multicellular diploid (sporophyte) and haploid
(gametophyte) generations
5. Diplontic life cycle - Life cycle where the diploid stage (sporophyte)is multicellular and
the haploid stage (gametophyte) is represented by the single-celled gametes
6. Angiosperms - Also known as flowering plants; group of plants that produce reproductive
structures called flowers in their sporophyte stages
7. Flower - Reproductive structure in flowering plants;
made up of four major whorls
8. Sepals - The outermost whorls of a flower;
collectively called the calyx
9. Petals - Whorl inner to the sepals; may be brightly
colored in some; collectively called the corolla
10.Stamen - Whorl inner to the petals; the male
reproductive structure of the flower; bears the male
sporangia (also known as microsporangia)
11.Anther - Part of the stamen that contains the
microsporangia that develops into pollen grains
12.Filament - Part of the stamen that serves as the
stalk of the anther
13.Pistil or carpels - Innermost whorl of the flower;
the female reproductive structure of the flower; bears
the female sporangia (also known as the
megasporangia)
14.Stigma - Part of the pistil where the pollen grain derived from the microsporangium
attaches during pollination
15.Style - Part of the pistil that serves as the stalk of the stigma; leads to the ovary
16.Ovary - Found at the base of the pistil; contains one or more ovules; eventually becomes
the fruit
17.Ovule - Contains the female sporangia or megasporangia; eventually becomes the seed
18. Complete flower - A flower with sepals, petals, stamens and carpels
19.Incomplete flower - A flower that lacks one or more of the floral whorls
20.Perfect flower - A flower that has both stamens and carpels; a bisexual structure
21.Imperfect flower - A flower that has only either the stamens (staminate flower) or the
carpels (carpellate flower); also known as a unisexual flower.

To determine what you have learned, answer the given activities.

C. Assessing Learning
To assess your understanding about the Plant Reproduction, perform the activity.
Activity 1: List Me. List down 10 flowering plants include the picture if possible. Classify
whether Complete or Incomplete Flower and Perfect or Imperfect flower.

The concept which I learn from the discussion is

D. Enhancing Skills

It’s time to apply the knowledge you gained after completing the different
tasks. Below is an activity to further deepen your understanding.

EXERCISE ON PLANT REPRODUCTION

Materials
1 Gumamela flower
2. Scalpel blade or sharp pencil
3. Optional: any available flower

1. Obtain a flower of gumamela (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis).

2. Locate the outermost floral whorl. You can find it at the base of the flower and resembles a
green crown. These are the sepals, collectively called the calyx. Inner to the sepals but
extending beyond them are the prominent petals, collectively known as the corolla.

3. At the center of the flower is a prominent tube. This is called the staminal tube.
Surrounding the tube are minute stalks with yellow bulbous tips. These are the stamens. The
bulbous tips are the anthers containing the microsporangia while the stalks are the filaments.

4. At the very tip of the staminal tube are five bulbous structures, each borne on a stalk that
fuses with the other stalks as they go down the staminal tube. The structures at the tips are the
stigmas of the carpels while the stalks are the style.

5. Remove the petals carefully so as not to damage the base. Using a scalpel blade or the sharp
end of a pencil, make an incision from the tip of the staminal tube down to the base. Carefully
open the staminal tube to reveal the rest of the fused styles. Follow the styles until they
terminate at the base. This base is the ovary.

6. Draw the flower and label the following parts: petals, sepals, stamens, anther, filament,
carpels, stigma, style, and ovary. Write your name on the paper (you may also use coloring
materials)

7. Draw and label the parts. classify them as to whether they are complete or incomplete,
perfect or imperfect.
