Sepals-protect the bud photosynthesizes for developing bud Steps 1-3 Petals-attract pollinators
Step 4-6 Stamen Pistil Stamen Pistil
Step 7-9 Stamen-male part of the flower, is made up of: Anther-produces pollen Filament-holds anther up Filament Anther
Step 10-11 Pistil-female part of the flower, is made up of: Stigma-sticky, pollen gets stuck to it Style-holds stigma up, where pollen tube is produced Ovary-contains the eggs Stigma Style Ovary Stigma
Step 12 Pollen magnified 100x
Step 13-14 Eggs The ovary is thick to cut through to protect the eggs. There are so many eggs so the plant can produce many seeds.
Review Questions • Why do you think certain parts of the flower are shaped the way they are?
Answer- The parts of the flower are shaped the way they are so they can do a specific job. Form allows for function
2. How does it benefit the plant to have both male and female parts located in the flower?
Answer- By having both male and female parts in one flower, the flower can perform self pollination and does not rely on a pollinator.
3. Name at least 2 ways that a plant can be pollinated. (Think about how the pollen is going to get onto the stigma-who or what will put it there?)
Answer- Pollination can either be self or cross. If cross pollination the pollen can be carried by pollinators such as insects and birds and wind.
