Step 1

Each stamen is made up of two parts: the anther and the filament. The anther is responsible for producing pollen grains, which are the male gametes in plants. The filament is a thin stalk that supports the anther and positions it in a way that facilitates the Show more…

Key Concepts

Pistil

The pistil, also known as the carpel, is the central female reproductive structure in a flower. It is usually made up of the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma receives pollen, the style serves as a pathway for the growing pollen tube, and the ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. Together, these components enable the reproductive cycle of the plant by supporting fertilization and seed formation.

Stamen

The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower, typically comprised of a filament and an anther. The filament supports the anther, where pollen—the male gametes—are produced. This structure plays a vital role in the process of pollination by releasing pollen that can reach the female parts of a flower, either within the same plant or on another, facilitating fertilization.
