Reproductive Parts of a Flowering Plant
Sperm cells
-(In the pollen)cells Fertilize the eggs (in the ovules)
Petals
-Brood, flat, and thin-they vary in shapes and colors. -They attract insects or other animals to the flower.
Ovule
-Each ________ contains an egg cell.
Sepal
-Encloses and protects the flower before it blooms. -In a flower, one of the outermost rings of modified leaves that protect the flower bud.
Cross
-Fertilization (pollination) between two flowers
Self
-Fertilization (pollination) within the same flower
Style
-Long slender part of the pistil
Ovary
-Rounded base of the pistil that contains and produces the eggs in ovules.
Anther
-Sac-like structure that produces pollen
Pistil
-The female reproductive structure of a flower that produces seeds and consists of an ovary, style, and stigma.
Stamen
-The male reproductive structure of a flower that produces pollen and consists of an anther at the tip of a fliament.
Stigma
-The tip of the pistil -Often sticky or feathery -Captures pollen
Filament
-Thin stalk that holds the anther.
Sexual
-What type of reproduction do flowering plants go through?
Fertilization
-When the sperm cell unites with the egg cell. -A zygote is formed.
Pollination
-transfer of pollen from stamen to pistil.
Wind, Water, Insects, Animals, and Humans
