Welcome To Plants

Trees

Trees are the lungs of our planet, providing oxygen, shade, and shelter. From towering oaks to graceful palms, each tree species contributes to our environment and natural beauty.

Oak Tree

Strong and majestic, oak trees symbolize strength and endurance, offering habitat for many species.

Palm Tree

Common in tropical regions, palms provide coconuts, dates, and a relaxing vacation vibe.

Fruits

Fruits are nature’s sweet gifts, rich in vitamins and bursting with flavor. They nourish, refresh, and add color to our diets.

Apple

A symbol of health and vitality, apples come in many varieties and are rich in antioxidants.

Banana

Known for its potassium and energy boost, bananas are loved worldwide for their sweetness.

Vegetables

Vegetables form the backbone of a healthy diet, offering essential nutrients, fiber, and vibrant flavors for every meal.

Carrot

Packed with beta-carotene, carrots support healthy vision and a strong immune system.

Tomato

Technically a fruit, tomatoes add color and tang to countless dishes around the world.

Flowers

Flowers brighten our world with color, scent, and symbolism. They attract pollinators and inspire art, poetry, and joy.

Rose

Known as the queen of flowers, roses symbolize love, passion, and timeless beauty.

Sunflower

Technically a fruit, Bright and cheerful, sunflowers follow the sun and bring warmth to any garden.

Tree

Trees are tall, perennial plants with a woody stem or trunk that supports branches and leaves. They are a key part of the natural ecosystem and are essential for life on Earth.

Biologically

Globally, scientists estimate there are: ~73,000 tree species known to science as of 2022, with around 9,000 species still undiscovered.
This means there could be over 80,000 species in total.

Types of Trees by Classification

🍃 By Leaf Type

Deciduous Trees

shed leaves seasonally (e.g., maple, oak)

Evergreen Trees

retain leaves all year(e.g., pine, fir)

🍃 By Climate/Region

Tropical Trees

e.g., mahogany, mango

Temperate Trees

e.g., birch, beech

Boreal (Taiga) Trees

e.g., spruce, larch

🍃 By Type of Wood

Hardwood Trees

angiosperms (e.g., oak, walnut, teak)

Softwood Trees

gymnosperms (e.g., pine, cedar)

Flower

A flower is the reproductive structure found in angiosperms (flowering plants). It’s the part of the plant where sexual reproduction happens — producing pollen (male) and ovules/eggs (female). After fertilization, the flower often develops into a fruit that protects and helps disperse the seeds.

Biologically

Biologically, a flower is the reproductive organ of angiosperms (flowering plants). Its main role is to carry out sexual reproduction, leading to the formation of seeds and fruits.

Main Structures of a Flower

🌸 Sepals (Calyx):

Usually green, protect the bud before it opens.

🌸 Petals (Corolla):

Often brightly colored to attract pollinators (insects, birds, bats).

🌸 Stamens (Male organs):

Filament:

a stalk.

Anther:

produces pollen grains (male gametes).

🌸 Carpel / Pistil (Female organ):

Stigma:

receives pollen.

Style:

a tube that connects stigma to ovary.

Ovary:

contains ovules (female gametes).

Biological Functions

🌻 Pollination

Transfer of pollen to the stigma

by wind, water, or animals.

🌻 Double Fertilization (unique to angiosperms)

One sperm cell fertilizes the egg

→ forms the zygote (embryo).

The other fuses with two polar nuclei

→ forms the endosperm (nutritive tissue).

🌻 Seed Formation

Fertilized ovules develop into seeds.

🌻 Fruit Formation

The ovary matures into a fruit

which protects seeds and helps with dispersal.

Biological Significance

Flowers explain the evolutionary success of angiosperms, due to efficient and diverse pollination strategies.

Variations in shape, color, and scent evolved through natural selection to match specific pollinators.

They ensure genetic recombination, increasing adaptability and biodiversity.

Types of Flowers

🌻 Complete flowers:

Have all 4 parts

(sepals, petals, stamens, carpels).

🌻 Incomplete flowers:

Missing one or more parts.

🌻 Bisexual (perfect):

Have both stamens and carpels (e.g., hibiscus).

🌻 Unisexual (imperfect):

Have either stamens (male) or carpels (female), e.g., papaya.
