1. Parts of a Flower

2. Flower Sexual reproductive structure Produces egg and sperm
Fertilization takes place inside the flower

3. Male and Female Parts of a Flower
Female Parts of the Flower- Pistil
Male Parts of the Flower- Stamen
Stigma
Anther
2. Style
2. Filament
3. Ovary
4. Ovule

4. Female Parts of a Flower
Pistil- the female reproductive organ. Made up of stigma, style, ovary, and ovule.
Stigma
Top of the pistil, sticky surface for pollen to stick to
Style
Connects the stigma to the ovary
Passage way for pollen
It raises the stigma away from the ovary to decrease the likelihood of pollen contamination.

5. Female Parts Cont. Ovary Protects the ovule, contains ovules (eggs)
Once fertilization takes place it becomes the fruit
Ovule
Like the egg in animals
Seeds develop here
Once fertilization occurs it becomes the seed

6. Male Parts of the Flower
Stamen- male reproductive organ. Made up of the anther and filament
Anther
Contains pollen sacs, produces sperm
The sacs release pollen
Filament
Supports the anther

7. Other parts of the Flower
Petal
Petal
Colorful, used to attract insects
Sepal
Protects the developing bud
Stem
Supports the flower and transports water and food
Sepal
Stem

8. Pollination
Transfer of mature pollen grains from the anther to the stigma
Transferred by:
Wind
Insects
Birds and other animals

9. Fertilization
The sperm travels through the pollen tube (style) to the ovule.
The sperm and egg fuse forming the zygote (fertilized egg)-this grows in to the plant embryo.
The ovary and zygote (fertilized ovule) develop and ripen.

10. Fertilization The ovule forms the seed. The ovary forms the fruit.
A fruit is a ripened ovary.
