Stigma and Style of Carpel




     This is a picture of a white flower. It contains an example of the stigma and style of a carpel. A carpel is a long figure that serves as the reproductive system  in the center of a flower. In the carpel, there is a stigma which is a sticky tip. The stigma is where pollen is released from a pollinator for fertilization. A style of a carpel is the narrow stalk in the center connecting the flower ovary to the stigma, encompassing the major length of the carpel. It serves as the pathway for fertilization as the pollen tubes dwindle down sperm cells to the egg in the ovary. In this case, the white stalk in the middle fo the flower is the style  and the dark tip of the carpel is the stigma.
