Study Notes
Flower Structure and Function
- The main function of a flower is to reproduce.
- Petals are the brightly colored parts of a flower.
- Stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower.
- Anther is the structure on the stamen that produces pollen grains.
- Pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower.
- Stigma is the part of the pistil that receives pollen grains.
Reproduction in Plants
- Plants can reproduce in two main ways: sexually and asexually.
- Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes.
Pollination and Fertilization
- The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma is called pollination.
- After successful pollination, a pollen tube grows towards the ovule.
- The fusion of a sperm cell from the pollen with an egg cell in the ovule is called fertilization.
- Fertilization leads to the formation of a zygote, which develops into a seed.
