Explanation:

A good surfactant is going to have a hydrophilic head and a long hydrophobic tail. As a result, a surfactant molecule contains both an insoluble water (or an oil-soluble component) and a water-soluble component. Surfactant molecules will migrate to the surface of the water, where the insoluble hydrophobic group may extend out of the bulk phase of the water, either into the air or, if the water is mixed with oil, into the oil Phase, while the water-soluble head group remains in the water phase. This alignment and aggregation of surfactant molecules at the surface is intended to alter the surface properties of water at the water / air or water / oil interface.

The diagram below represents a flower, the reproductive structure of some plants. Most
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The stigma, a female structure which collects pollen and passes it to the ovary

Explanation:

<u>The structure represented by the letter A in the diagram is the stigma.</u>

The <u>stigma of a flower represents part of the female reproductive structure</u>. The surface of a mature stigma is sticky and as such, it is able to attract pollen grains from the anther. A pollen that lands on the stigma germinates and its pollen tube grows through the style of the stigma down to the ovule where one of the sperm cells of the pollen fertilizes the egg cell of the ovule to form a diploid zygote and the other sperm cell fuses with the polar nuclei of the ovary to form a triploid cell that eventually becomes the endosperm.

<em>The sepal and the petal are labeled as D and C in the diagram respectively while the stamen is made up of B and H.</em>
