GETTING TO KNOW PLANTS

What is OVERY in plants?

Ovary is the swollen (lowest) part of the pistil. Ovary encases ovules (one or many) that are egg-like structures. Ovules contains the female sex cells and develops into a seed after fertilization. An ovule is a structure found inside the ovary of plants. Integuments are the two layers which cover the internal structures of the ovule. 

SEPAL

The green, leaf like parts in the outermost circle of a flower are called sepals. The sepals protect the flower when it is in the form of a bud in the initial stage . sepals may either be separate from one another or joint together.

FLOWER

A flower is the reproductive part of a plant. It is the most attractive part of the plant. Different parts of a flower include sepals, petals, stamens and pistil. Parts of a flower can be grouped into two categories namely, accessory whorls and essential whorls.

ROOT

The part of a plant that grows under the ground and takes in water and minerals from the soil. The main root is called tap root and the smaller roots are called lateral roots. All roots seem similar and these are called fibrous roots

What is PHOTOSYNTHESIS ?

Solution : . Leaves prepare their food in the presence of sunlight and a green coloured pigment chlorophyll. For this, they also use water and carbon dioxide. This process is called photosynthesis. Oxygen is given out in this process. The food prepared by leaves ultimately gets stored indifferent parts of plant.
