Angiosperms
Angiosperms are vascular plants with stems,
An angiosperm is a plant that produces flowers. 1 roots, and leaves.
The angiosperms, also identified as the flowering
plants, belong to one of the vital groups of plants
having seeds. The word angiosperm has been
The seeds of the angiosperm are found in a

angeion stands for “vessel” and sperma means
“seed”.
The seeds develop inside the plant organs
3 and form fruit. Hence, they are also known as
flowering plants.

FLOWERS
play a major role in sexual reproduction as it
houses the structures for this process.
Vegetative Part
a. Receptacle – holds the floral parts of the flower.
b. Sepal – modified leaves that protects a flower in bud and holds the petals when
in bloom.
c. Calyx – collective term for the sepals.
d. Petal – modified leaves that surround the reproductive organ or plants;
normally colorful, and with odor, to attract pollinators
e. Corolla – collective term for petals
f. Inflorescence – cluster of flowers

Reproductive Part
a. Stamen – male reproductive organ
b. Filament – stalk that holds the anther at the end
c. Anther – produces the pollen which houses the sperm cell
d. Carpel – Female reproductive organ. Singly or fused, is called a pistil
e. Style – the slender neck of the carpel which holds the stigma at its end.
f. Stigma – is a structure with sticky substance which traps pollen.
g. Ovary – the bulbous structure of the carpel which contains the ovule
h. Ovule – has the egg cell of the plant.

Complete flowers contain four flower parts: In the wild, hibiscus species reproduce
petals, sepals, stamen, and pistil. Incomplete sexually when pollen from male flowers
flowers are missing one or more of these four reaches female flowers for fertilization. Wind

Adaptive
mechanisms

a. As the flower is important in the development

of a fruit and the eventual dispersal of the seed
for plant propagation, it has evolved different
adaptive mechanisms.
b. This structure to function relationship is
important as the plant should be able to attract
specific pollinators to increasing the success
rate of its propagation.
c. Competition among plants over one pollinator
may result in lesser chance of propagation.

 SEEDS

a.The seed or mature ovules contain the embryo, which will

eventually germinate and grow if properly dispersed in a
favorable environment.
b.To protect the embryo from harsh environmental
conditions, it goes into a state of dormancy until a period
for favorable growth and development arrives. The embryo,
which is not able to produce its own food, yet, is provided
with food by the cotyledon or the endosperm, or both.
c.To protect the embryo, the seed coat has a hardened outer
covering which protects it from physical or chemical
disturbances.

Parts of a Seed protects the embryonic plant.

2.Microphyle- it is a tiny pore in the
testa and permits water to enter the
embryo before active germination.
3.Cotyledon- contains high quantities of
starch and will provide a source of
food.
4.Epicotyl- is the embryonic shoot above
the cotyledon that will eventually
develop into the leaves of the plant.
5.Hypocotyl- connection between
cotyledon and radicle. Pushes the
cotyledons above the ground to develop.
6.Radicle- this is the embryonic root
which will develop into the primary root
of the plant.
 SEED AND FRUIT
DISPERSAL
1.Like pollination in plants, different agents aid seed and fruit
dispersal.
a.Abiotic agents (wind, water)
b.Biotic agents (animals)
2.In order to propagate, plants have evolved in order to adapt to their
environments.
a. Flowers ensure the formation of the embryo through different
adaptations for pollination and fertilization.
b. The developing embryo is helped by the adaptation of the fruit and
seeds, which further protects and aids in its propagation.
