Plant Orgy Reproduct
This is about plants having sex
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the two ways the pollen can be transferred? | By insects (animals) or by the wind |
| What are gametes? | Sex Cells e.g. stamens (male part), carpel (female part), |
| What do the petals do? | The petals attract insects by being colorful or being small petals to be wind pollinated. |
| What are sepals? | These are small, green, leaf-like structures that protect the flower when it is in bud. |
| Stamens | These are male parts of the flower. They're made up of the anthers. |
| Anthers | Anthers produce large quantities of small pollen grains containing the male gametes and the filament. |
| Filament | Filament attaches the anther to the flower. |
| Carpel | This is the female part of the flower. It's made up of the stigma. |
| Stigma | It's where the pollen lands during pollination, the style, which transports the male sex cell to the ovary. |
| Ovary | Is where it produces a small number of relatively large ovules, which are female gametes. They also often form the fruit once the ovules are fertilized. |
| Pollination | It's the process where the pollen grain is transferred from the anther of a flower to the stigma, often another flower. |
