    The document discusses the two main types of seed plants - gymnosperms and angiosperms. Gymnosperms reproduce using cones instead of flowers and include cycads, ginkgos, conifers and gnetophytes. Angiosperms are the largest group of plants, reproduce using flowers that have sepals, petals, stamens and a pistil, and their seeds develop inside fruits.

    2 Types of Seed Plants

    • Angiosperms

    • Gymnosperms
    Gymnosperms
    • Have cones for reproduction instead
    of flowers
    • 4 Types
    – Cycad
    – Ginkgo
    – Conifer
    – Gnetophyte
    Gymnosperms
    • Cycads: look like
    ferns except they
    have seeds

    • Ginkgo: very large


    trees found mainly
    in China
    Gymnosperms
    • Conifers: seeds
    are in cones or
    berrylike
    structures

    • Gnetophytes:
    shrubs and climbing
    vines
    Angiosperms
    • Largest group of plant in the world
    • Found in all types of climates
    • Produce flowers for reproduction
    Angiosperms
    • Parts of the flower:
    – Sepals
    – Petals
    – Stamen
    – Pistil
    Sepals
    sepal
    • The sepals protect
    the flower before
    it opens.
    Petals
    • The petals
    attract
    pollinating
    insects with
    their bright
    color and
    attractive
    scent.
    Male Parts
    • The stamens are
    the male
    structures of
    the flower.
    • Made up of two
    parts:
    – Anther
    – Filament
    Male Parts
    • Anther: top part
    of the stamen,
    that makes
    pollen.
    • Filament: this is
    the stalk of the
    Anther
    Female Parts
    • Pistil is the
    female structure
    of flower that
    has 3 parts:
    – Stigma
    – Style
    – Ovary
    Female Parts
    stigma
    • Stigma:
    – The pollen from
    another flower
    collects on the
    stigma’s sticky
    surface.
    • Style:
    – raises the stigma
    away from the
    Ovary
    Female Parts
    • Ovary protects the
    ovules(egg).

    • Once fertilization
    has taken place it
    will become the
    fruit.
    Write the correct words in the boxes:
    stamens, stigma, petals, ovary, sepals

    pollen where the


    sticks to seeds grow
    this 5
    1

    these attract where the


    insects pollen is
    made 2
    4
    These protect
    the flower
    before it opens 3
    PLANT REPRODUCTION
    Plants Reproductive Structures

    • Cones: Gymnosperms
    – Female cones contain the ovules which
    contains the egg cell
    – Male cones contain pollen which are like
    sperm cells
    • Flowers: Angiosperms
    – Pistil: female part of flower
    – Stamen: Male part of flower
    Pollination
    • Insects visit
    flowers to search
    for nectar –
    their food.
    • But the flowers use
    the insects for
    their own purposes!
    • As the insect probes
    for nectar, its body
    rubs against the
    stamens.
    • Pollen gets stuck on
    the insect’s legs.
    • You can often see bees
    with a heavy load of
    yellow pollen on their
    hind legs.
    Pollination
    When the insect
    visits another
    flower of the same
    type, the pollen will
    stick to the pistal.

    This is called

    pollination.
    Fertilization
    The pollen travels
    to the ovary, where
    it joins with an
    ovule.

    This is called
    fertilization.
    Seeds
    • Seeds: the
    fertilized egg

    • Seed Structure:
    consists of a seed
    coat, a young plant,
    and stored food
    Types of Seeds
    Types of Seeds
    Seeds

    • The seeds develop


    inside the ovary,
    which grows to
    become the seed
    pod or fruit.
    Seed Dispersal
    • The seeds are
    dispersed; some by
    animals, some by
    the wind, some by
    explosion and some
    by water.
