Tobacco flowers have..?
1) Stamens == There are five stamens that are epipetalous ( Attached to the petals )





2 ) Pistil = The pistil ( not 's' ) or Gynoecium is made up of two carpels and they are fused to form a single composite structure , ( Bicarpellary , syncarpous ) .





3 ) Ovaries = There is a single compound ovary( Syncarpous ) that is superior and has two chambers .





4 ) Ovules = Are numerous and attached to axile placentation. The placenta is swollen or fleshy.

Yes ! There are always more pollen grains than ovules in any flower . There are two reasons .





i ) There is more wastage of pollen grains involved as they are being transferred by the agents of pollination.





Ovules, on the other hand , are well protected in an ovary and do not move away.





i i ) A plant / flower has to use more energy / food to produce a single ovule as it is later on involved in the nourishment of embryo . So it can not AFFORD to produce many ovules .





Pollen grains are much very much smaller than an ovule .
