May 24, 2023 · A flower is the reproductive structure of an angiosperm or flowering plant. Each of the parts of a flower has a unique function that contributes to the plant’s successful reproduction. Here are the different parts of a flower, their functions, and a look at how pollination takes place.

- Cell Wall. It is the outermost, protective layer of a plant cell having a thickness of 20-80 nm. Cell walls are made up of carbohydrates such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin and a complex organic polymer called lignin.
- Plastids. They are double membrane-bound organelles that have their own genetic material. Plastids are mainly of three types: a) Chloroplasts: Found in the green parts of a plant and algae that contain the photosynthetic pigment, chlorophyll.
- Central Vacuole. It is the large vesicle that make up almost 30 to 80% of the total plant cell volume. The central vacuole is often the largest organelle in the cell that is filled with fluid, ions, enzymes, and other molecules.
- Cell Membrane or Plasma Membrane. It is a thin, biological membrane having a thickness of 7.5-10 nm that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.
Jul 3, 2020 · A typical diagram of a flower is divided into four main parts: 1) sepals, 2) petals, 3) stamen and, 4) carpel, each of them performing distinct functions. When a flower has all the four floral parts, it is called a complete flower. A flower missing any one of them is called an incomplete flower. Parts of a Flower Diagram. 1. Sepals.
