What is the male reproductive part of the plant called? |
Stamen |
|
|
What is the female reproductive part of the plant called? |
Carpel |
|
|
The stamen consists of 2 things |
The anther and The filament |
|
|
The anther contains....... |
Pollen grains - this produces male gametes (sperm) |
|
|
The filament is...... |
The stalk that supports the anther |
|
|
The carpel consists of 3 things..... |
The ovary The style The stigma |
|
|
The stigma is...... |
The end bit that pollen grains attach to. |
|
|
The style is ...... |
The rod like section that supports the stigma |
|
|
The ovary contains..... |
female gametes (eggs) inside ovules |
|
|
Pollination is.... |
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma so female gametes can be fertilised by male gametes. |
|
|
Cross pollination is.... |
A type of sexual reproduction where pollen in transferred from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another. |
|
|
Cross pollination occurs by..... |
Insects Wind |
|
|
3 ways that plants are adapted for insect pollination..... |
Bright petals to attract insects Scented flowers & nectaries (glands that secrete nectar) Big sticky pollen grains that stick to insects as they go from plant to plant (and of course a sticky stigma :)) |
|
|
5 ways that plants are adapted for wind pollination...... |
Small, dull petals No nectaries or strong smells A lot of small, light pollen grains that can be easily picked up by the wind. Long filaments that hang the anther outside so pollen can easily be blown away. Large feathery stigma to catch pollen a it's carried past by the wind (often hangs outside the flower too) |
