Turn to page 13 Title “Pollinators” & Date Create T-Chart

1) Tape In Chart 2) Copy Notes Underneath Chart Nectar: sweet liquid secreted by flowers used to attract pollinators, not needed in plants pollinated by wind and water

Agents of pollination - Non-living agents Wind Write in first row of chart Flowers are colorless, odorless, nectar-less, produce a lot of pollen Pollen is light, small, dry smooth, not sticky, unwettable Stigma is hairy, feathery, sticky, or branched to catch pollen Petals are short/anthers are exposed so pollen grains can blow away Many trees and crop plants heavily depend on wind pollination. Such as pines, spruces, oaks and elm trees and corn, rice, wheat and oats. The pictures above show the wind blowing the pollen from the tree and crop plant

Agents of pollination - Non-living agents Water Write in second row of chart Flowers are small and simple Nectar and odor are absent Stigma is long, sticky but unwettable Pollen is light and unwettable Pollen can float on the water’s surface or beneath it. In doing so, it can come in contact with a flower. Aquatic plants depend on this type of pollination. This flower belongs to the freshwater plant called vallisneria. Its flowers detach and float on the surface water
