In brief: • Insects are attached to the petals of a flower. • As they investigate the flower, they rub up against the flowers Anther. This causes the insect, to get pollen on themselves. • When they go to another flower, the pollen falls off of them and is caught on the Stamen. • The pollen travels down the Pistil to the Ovary. • The pollen then fertilizes the eggs in the ovary and a fruit with seeds are born. How it works
Petal Petal – Attracts insects Anther - Makes Pollen Stamen - Provides Support Sepals - Protects flower bud Stigma - Traps Pollen Pistil - Pollen travels through here Ovary - Contains egg cell Stigma Anther Pistil Stamen Ovary Sepals
