This picture of a flower from my tomato plant is an example of the anthers and filaments of stamen. The stamen are the male reproductive parts of flowers. You can see the anthers in the center on this flower. This is what produces the pollen for the flower to reproduce. If I could cut this flower in half you would be able to see the filaments which are like long skinny supports with the anthers on top.

These are leave on an oak tree in my back yard. These leaves are undergoing cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a set of reactions that converts biochemical energy into ATP ( adenosine triphosephate). This is how the cell converts its "food" into usable energy.
This is my dog Nelly. Nelly is being held together by connective tissue. Her connective tissue stores energy, protects her organs, provides a structural framework for body, provides a connection for body tissues, and connects her epithelial tissues to her muscle tissues.
These flowers from my begonia plant are good examples of the stigma and style of a carpel. The carpel is the female reproductive parts of a flower. The stigma of a flower is surrounded by the anthers. The stigma is sticky so it can catch pollen. The pollen then travels down the style of the flower which is the body of the carpel towards the flower's ovaries.
