3. What is Pollination?
 The transfer of pollen from the anther to
the stigma.
Table of Contents

4. Pollination Process
 Plant grows and eventually flowers
 Bee/Butterfly visits flower and is dusted in pollen
 Bee/Butterfly visits another flower and the pollen
rubs onto the stigma
 Flower dies and seed pod develops. Some plants
develop fruit around the seed ex. Blackberry
 Seed dispersal
 A seed germinates
Table of Contents

5. What is Fertilization?
 The joining of pollen with an ovule to form
a seed
Table of Contents

6. Fertilization Process
 Pollen lands on stigma
 Pollen goes down the style and enters
the ovary
 Fertilizes ovules
 Ovary swells as seed ripens
Table of Contents

7. Seed dispersal
 Plants need to disperse their seeds away
from themselves to stop overcrowding
and to create new colonies.
 Nearly all seeds are produced within
“fruits”.
 These fruits enable seeds to be dispersed

in a variety of ways.

8. Seed Dispersal Methods
 Wind Method  Catching a Lift Method
 Animal Food Method
 Bursting Method
 Drop and Roll Method
 Shakers Method

9. Vocabulary (Female
Organs)
 Stigma- the sticky part of the pistil that
pollen sticks to
 Style- is long outgrowth of the ovary that
collects pollen from the stamens
 Ovary- the base part of the pistil that holds
the ovules
 Ovules- the unfertilized seeds of the plant
Table of Contents

10. Vocab. cont’
 Pistil (carpel) - the female part of the flower
that contains the stigma, ovary, style, and
ovules
 Anther- the part of the flower that holds the

pollen
 Filament- the long thread-like part of the
flower that holds the anthers out so insects
can get to the pollen
Table of

11. Vocab. cont’
 Petal- the colorful part of the flower that
attracts insects and other pollinators
 Receptacle- the top of the flower stalk that
bears the flower parts
 Sepal- the part that covers the outside of a
flower bud to protect the flower before it
opens
 Germinate- to develop into a plant or
individual, as a seed, spore, or bulb.
