Discover the Wonders of Pollination

• Pollination is the process of transferring reproductive cells between flowers.
• Androecium and Gynoecium are the male and female reproductive parts of a flower.
• Self-pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or another flower of the same plant.
• Cross-pollination occurs when mature pollen grains from one plant are transferred to the stigma of another plant of the same kind.
• Cross-pollination requires agents to carry pollen grains from one plant to another.
• Agents of cross-pollination include wind, water, insects, and animals.
• Wind-pollinated flowers produce small, light, and smooth pollen grains.
• Water-pollinated flowers produce light and flat pollen grains that can float on water.
• Insect-pollinated flowers have big, bright colored, and scented petals that secrete nectar.
• Fruit plants are mostly pollinated by animals.
