Students Dissect Flowers In AP Biology To Examine Functions

Structure-function relationships in nature are a main theme in the Life Sciences. In AP Biology, students study the structures of flowers that allow them to carry out their function.

“The function of a flower is to produce seeds,” explained AP Biology teacher Dr. Moira Milne. “Through dissection, students get to examine up close all the reproductive parts of the flower, the fruit, and the seeds.”
