At The End Of A Modified Stem

the sepal and petals and stamens all grow
with carpals, arranged all around in a whorl
and this is complete in the way it has four
at the end of a modified stem.

the sepal is usually shaded a green,
retaining a look that is more like a leaf,
enclosing a bud and protecting you see
at the end of a modified stem.

the petals are coloured and brighter than that
of sepals to make all the insects attract,
who pollinate flowers wherever they're at
at the end of a modified stem.

the stamens and carpels are sexual parts.
the stamen consists of an anther atop
a filament like a gigantical stalk
at the end of a modified stem.

the carpal embodies a stylish neck,
an ovary, ovule, egg in a sac.
her gametophyte is a gametofact
at the end of a modified stem.

the stigma resides at the carpally tip
to serve as a platform for pollen to sit,
arriving by wind or a bug who alit
at the end of a modified stem.

Q: What did Andreas Cantor, the Spanish soccer announcer, say when he was asked which organelle carries out the processing, packaging and sorting of a variety of cellular products?

A: GOOOOOOLGI APPARATUS!

YOTTABYTE ME!

1 terabyte equals about 213, 4.7GB dvds. 213 dvds is approximately 30cm in length if stacked one on top of the other. to equal 1 yottabyte (1000 terabytes = 1 petabyte; 1000 petabytes = 1 exabyte; 1000 exabytes = 1 zettabyte; 1000 zettabytes = 1 yottabyte) would mean 213 trillion dvds or a distance of 300 million kilometers, the distance to the sun and back!

(213 trillion is about the number of cells in 2 human bodies. that being the case, each cell would store about 4.7GB of information or about 1500 pictures, most of these being taken up by the golgi apparatus)
