What structure does a tulip have?

There are several different structures involved in the makeup of a tulip, and of flowers in general 1. PETALS: the most obvious portions of the tulip head that surrounds the "sex" organs 2. SEPELS: These structures are almost like petals, but ly under the petals, and are often green. However, on tulips it ma be harder to identify them because they like to be the same color as the petals. There is usually two or three sepels on a flower. In cases were Sepels look like there Petal brothers then then are called TEPELS 3. CARPELS: these structures are at the the center of the flower, and resemble a tube coming down to a hard sac. The heart of a Carpel is the overy, which houses what is called an Ovule and several other similar looking structures. The Ovule is where the female sex organ is located. the other structues are important in feeding a developing plan embryo, when the Ovary becomes a seed later on. The different parts of the Carpel have names, but they are less important 4. STAMENS: These surround the Carpels and are instrumental in producing pollen, which house the male sperm. Obiously there are other structures ncluding stems and leaves, but the above 4 structures that I have listed are unique to flowers. I hope this answer has been helpfull

Is a tulip a living thing?

Oh, yes, a tulip is definitely living. If you only have a tulip bulb, that is called the dormant state. There is a plant inside waiting to get out and see what the world is all about. At the proper time and temperature, with the help of a certain amount of light and nutrients, the plant will make its way up and out of the bulb. There it will absorb light energy, soil nutrients and water, and eventually produce a flower. The tulip ensures the next generation in two ways: the bulb will produce "bulbettes" and the flower may produce fertile seed. When it's finishes its reproductive job, the flower sits for a while as a leafy plant absorbing energy for next year's display. Eventually the leaves will die and the plant returns to its dormant bulb state.
