Plant Reproduction Flashcards
Parts of the stamen
Male parts
Anther and filament
Parts of the carpel
Female parts
Stigma style ovule and ovary
Anther
Contains pollen
Filament
Supports the anther
Style
The tube that pollen goes into
Ovary
Contains the female sex cells inside ovules
Petals
Often brightly coloured to attract insects for pollination
Sepals
Protect the bud
Pollination types
Self pollination
Cross pollination
Insect pollination
Wind pollination
Self pollination
Pollen is transferred from the stamen to the stigma on the same plant
Cross pollination
Pollen is transferred from the stamen of one plant to the stigma of a different plant
Insect pollination
Bright coloured petals
Scented flowers
Produce nectar
Sticky stigma to take the pollen off the insect as it goes from plant to plant
Wind pollination
Small dull petals
No scent
No nectar
Long filament hangs the anther outside the flower so a lot of pollen is blown away
Stigma is feathery to catch pollen
