Pollination

• Flowers are the reproductive part of a

flowering plant.
• Most flowers contain both male and female
reproductive organs.
• Pollination is the transfer pollen grains from the
male anther of a flower to the female stigma.
• Each pollen grain contains a male gamete (sex
cell ).pollen grains ripen inside anthers , which then
split open .
• How does pollen get from one
flower to another?
• Pollination is carried out by animals , wind or water .
• We call animals or insects that transfer pollen
from plant to plant . “pollinators”
• Flowers have different structures depending
on how they are pollinated.
• Insect –pollinated flowers
• Plants that use animal pollinators have flowers
with petals . They attract the animals with
scents , colours and nectar to eat .
