The Hibiscus (commonly known as China Rose) is widely used in biology labs to study flower anatomy because it is a perfect, complete flower. It contains both male and female reproductive parts clearly visible to the naked eye.
Male Part: Stamen (Filament + Anther).
Female Part: Carpel/Pistil (Stigma + Style + Ovary).
Hibiscus is a Bisexual flower (contains both male and female parts).
The male part is collectively called the Stamen. In a hibiscus, many stamens are fused together to form a central tube.
The female part is collectively called the Carpel or Pistil. It runs right through the center of the stamen tube.
The main parts are the pedicel, receptacle, sepals, petals, the male stamen (anther and filament), and the female pistil (stigma, style, and ovary).
The male part is called the stamen, which consists of the filament and the pollen-producing anther.

NADP full form is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate. NADPH is produced in photosynthesis light reactions and used in biosynthesis.
