Science - Pollination Flashcards
LABEL the parts of the FLOWER
Filament
Supports & holds anther. Part of stamen.
Anther
- Part of stamen
- Contains pollen.
Ovary
Eggs stored here, join with pollen.
Stigma
Sticky to catch pollen.
Petal
Brightly coloured - To attract insects and birds
Stamen
Male part of flower. Makes pollen. Made up of anther & filament.
Carpel
Female part, seeds made here. Consists of stigma, style, ovary.
Stem
Green stalk. Provides support.
Sepal
Special leaves form ring around bottom. Protects the buds.
Style
Supports stigma
Receptacle
Top part of stalks where flowers attached.
Desribe the first stage of PLANT fertilisation
Pollen is transferred from one plant to another (By wind, insect or bird etc) and lands on the STIGMA
Describe the second stage of plant fertilisation
When the pollen grain lands on the STIGMA a pollen TUBEgrows down through the STYLE towards the OVARY
Describe the third stage of PLANT fertilisation
The NUCLEUS of the pollen grain then passes down the tube to fertilise the egg cell inside the ovule.
