2. Reproduction: Male Flower Parts
What is the male part of a flower?
Stamen: The male part of a flower.
Anther: Produces the pollen that contains the sperm cells.
Filament: The stalk that supports the anther.

4. Reproduction: Female Flower Parts
What is the female part of a flower?
Pistil: The female parts of the flower. Stigma: the sticky top where pollen grains land.
Style: a stalk down which the pollen tube grows after pollination has taken.
Ovary: contains the ovules where the egg cells are produced.

5. What is pollination?
Pollination
Pollen must be transferred from the male part of a flower (the STAMEN’s anther) to the female part of another plant’s flower (the PISTIL’s sticky stigma).
Pistil
Stamen

6. What is fertilization?
Fertilization
In the PISTIL’s ovary the sperm cell from the pollen meets up with the egg. The seed/embryo now begins to grow!!!
Pistil
Stamen

7. Plants: Reproduction Petals and Sepals?
Petals: Protect the stamen and pistil. Often bright in color and help attract pollinators like bees.
Sepals: Green leaf-like structures that protect the bud and hold the flower petals.

8. Pollination / Fertilization
What is pollination / fertilization?
Pollination / Fertilization
Pollen must be transferred from the male part of a flower (the STAMEN’s anther) to the female part of another plant’s flower (the PISTIL’s sticky stigma).
The pollen grain will release a sperm cell that goes down PISTIL’s style into the PISTIL’s ovary.
In the PISTIL’s ovary the sperm from the pollen meets up with the egg. The seed/embryo now begins to grow!!!
