Question

apple trees are considered flowering plants because they produce a flower, an apple blossom. just like other flowers, an apple blossom has both male and female parts. the male part of the flower is the stamen. it produces the pollen. the pollen must be transferred to the female part, or pistil, in order to reproduce. how does the diagram develop the information in the text? a. the diagram shows which insects are pollinators. b. the diagram explains how pollination works. c. the diagram shows location of the flower parts. d. the diagram describes the male and female parts.

Explanation:

The diagram labels different parts of an apple - blossom flower such as stamen (male part), pistil (female part), petal, sepal etc. It shows the location of these flower parts. The text mentions male and female parts of the flower and their role in reproduction, and the diagram complements this by showing the location of these parts. It does not show pollinators, does not fully explain how pollination works, and while it shows male and female parts, its main function is to show their location.

Answer:

C. The diagram shows location of the flower parts.
