FLOWERS

• Flowers are the reproductive organ of the


plants
• Flowers are vital to
the reproduction of
flowering plants.
• Flowers are made
up of several
different parts.
• Each part is
important in it’s
own special way.
• In order to produce a
new plant many
flowering plants need
to be pollinated.

• Let’s learn the parts of


the flower – then we
can find out more
about pollination.
• Petals are the most colorful part of the flowers
They attract insects or birds to the flower.
• Some flowers produce smells, which also help
to attract insects
• The colours that we see in the flower petals are
quite different to those seen by insects, with
their specialised eyes.
• The insects or birds feed on sweet, sugary
nectar produced at the base of the petals.
They may also eat some of the pollen,
produced in the anthers. The pollen contains
the male gamete of the flower
STIGMA
• The stigma receives the pollen from visiting
insects.

• It is one of the stigma


female parts of a
flower. The others
are the style and
the ovary.
STYLE
• The style leads down to ovary.

style
• It is another of the
female parts of a
flower.
OVARY
• The ovary is located at the base of the
flower

• The three female parts


of a flower are, together,
called the pistil or the
carpel.
• The female parts of a
flower make the seeds. ovary
FILAMENT
• The filament is one of the male parts of a
flower.

• The other male part is


called the anther.
• Together they are filament
called the stamen.
ANTHER
• The anther is one of the male parts of a
flower.
• The shape and size of the anther will
attract the correct insects.
• The anther and
filament make the
pollen. Together, they anther
are called the
stamen.
SEPAL
• The sepal is usually green.

• It is the part of the flower that


protects the bud.
• It is not part of the
pollination process.
sepal
• The female gametes are inside the ovules,
which are inside the ovaries.
• Unlike animals most plants produce both male
and female gametes
POLLINATION
POLLINATION
• In order to produce a new plant many flowering
plants need to be pollinated
• Pollination – is the transfer of pollen from a
male part of a plant to a female part of a plant
POLLEN GRAINS
• Pollen grains are made in the anthers of
flowers. Pollen grains contain the male
gametes
SELF POLLINATION
CROSS-POLLINATION
•The pollen from the first flower sticks to the
sticky stigma.
•Part of the pollen called the male cell travels
down the style.
•The male cell then enters the ovary.
•Within the ovary the male cell joins with the
ovule.
•The plant has then been fertilised.
•After fertilisation the seeds start to grow.
•The ovary of the flower becomes the fruit
containing the seeds.
• Stigma receives pollen that transferred by
pollinators
• Part of the pollen called the male cell travels
down the style.
• The male cell then enters the ovary
• Within the ovary the male cell joins with the
ovule
• The plant has then been fertilised
• After fertilisation the seeds start to grow
• The ovary of the flower becomes the fruit
containing the seeds
• Many flower pollinated by insects or birds.
Some, for example grasses are pollinated by
the wind.
