1. FLOWER PARTS

2. I. Male Flower Parts anther- where pollen is produced
1. Pollen- plant sperm
B. filament- holds anther up
C. Stamen = Anther + Filament

3. II. Female Flower Parts Stigma- sticky part where pollen lands
Style- long tube that runs from stigma to ovary, pollen ( sperm) “swim” down to fertilize eggs.
Ovary- part that contains eggs (ovum) that develop into fruit ( bananas, tomatoes, peaches).
Carpel/Pistil= Stigma + Style + Ovary

4. 1. Seeds are fertilized plant eggs.

5. III. Other Flower Parts
A. Petals- have colorful patterns, scents to attract pollinators
B. Some flowers have nectar
( sweet juice) to attract pollinators.
C. If a flower has both M&F parts they are called perfect flowers.
D. Some plants have flowers with only male parts or female parts (imperfect flowers). Corn is an example.
