Blog Post #7: Anthers and Stigmas and Styles, Oh My: Dissection of a Flower

This image provided above shows the anthers surrounding around the stigma on a flower. The anther is the part of the flower where the pollen is created. The stigma is the part of the flower where pollen also germinates. When both the female and male parts are visible in the same flower the flower is known to be "excellent".
This photo above shows the stamen of the flower, which is the pollen producer. It usually has a slender filament supporting the anther. It's the male reproductive anatomy of the flower, it consists of a stock known as the filament and at the end of the stalk is a part called the anther.

Now, this picture above shows the female anatomy of a flower known as the carpel The carpel is a structure that produces egg cells and protects a developing baby plant. The three main parts of a carpel are the style, stigma, and ovary.


This is an image of the flower with the stamens, sepals, petals and the top of the carpel removed, leaving it was just the ovary and ovules. You can see the inside of the ovary and all of it's many ovules.

    When ripe pollen from an anther of the same kind of flower catches on the stigma, each pollen grain sends out a tiny threadlike tube. The tube grows down through the style and pierces one of the ovules in the ovary.

Blog Post #6: How Does Your Garden Grow

Question 1: Our plant has grown significantly since we last  checked up on it. This is Because of a number of things. It all starts with cell division also known as mitosis. This is a process that is in charge development and growth within a eukaryotic cell. There are five stages of mitosis.  prophase, interphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. There is also  cytokinesis when the cell actually splits.  In prophase Chromosomes become visible, the nucleolus disappears, the mitotic spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope disappears. Chromosomes become more coiled and can be viewed under a microscope! In interphase cellular organelles double in number, the DNA replicates, and protein synthesis occurs. The chromosomes are not visible and the DNA appears as uncoiled chromatin. In metaphase the microtubules of the spindle have attached and the chromosomes have lined up on the metaphase plate. In anaphase each sister chromatid of a chromosome has spindle fib...

Service Project (Garden)

      I talked Mr. Bursch and decided to beautify a garden for my service project. It was a native garden so we got bought drought resistant native plants. We went to Home Depot and picked up soil, a shovel and two plants. One was a Rosemary plant and one was a sage plant. We brought them to school, dug two holes, poured fresh dirt and then planted them. We watered the and picked up all the trash that was around in the garden. All totaled the materials and plant cost $40.00. prices: shovel: $8.00 plants: $14.00(each) soil: $7.00
