Recap
• Plants produce seeds in order to reproduce. To make a seed, a flower must be
pollinated.

• Pollen is made by the male part of the plant, which is called the stamen. The
pollen needs to get to the female part of the plant, which is called the stigma.
Most plants cannot pollinate themselves, but a large amount of orchids can.
What might be an advantage of self-pollination?

• The pollen must then travel


from one plant to another
plant of the same species
(e.g. from a rose to a rose or
from a daffodil to a daffodil).
This is called cross-
pollination.
The Vital Roles in Pollination
Just like actors in a play, each part of the flower has a role to play.
These parts are vital and pollination wouldn’t be able to take place without any
one of these.
Petal

It is the petal’s job to attract the


insects towards the flower.

Interestingly, the colours that


we see are not the same as the
colours that the insects see.
Insects see in ultraviolet, which
is a type of light which is
outside the range of what
human eyes can see.

Stigma

stigma
The stigma’s job is to collect the
pollen from other plants when
insects brush by it. It has adapted
to catch the pollen in different
ways, e.g. some stigma have tiny
hairs on them to collect the pollen.
It is on the stigma that the growing
process first begins.
Filament

The filament’s role is to hold up


the anther. If the anther was very
low down, then insects might not
be able to collect that flower’s
pollen. What would happen if
pollen was harder for insects to
collect?

Anther

anther

The role of the anther is to produce


the pollen. It is important that this
pollen is then carried to another
plant.

Which part of the plant would the


pollen need to be taken to?
Ovary

It is the ovary's job to hold the


ovules and to keep them safe until
the flower gets pollinated.

The Pollination Process
1. The flower petal’s bright colours and
fragrant scents attract insects.

2. The insect arrives on the flower to collect


nectar. This nectar is a sweet liquid which
makes perfect insect food.

3. As the insect is gathering the nectar, it rubs


against the anthers, which rub pollen onto
the insect.

4. After the insect is done feeding on the


flower’s nectar, it gets hungry and gets
attracted by another flower`s bright
colours.
The Pollination Process
5. As the insect feeds on the nectar in this new flower, the pollen stuck to the
insect from the first flower, rubs off onto the female parts of the second
flower (the stigma).

6. Part of this pollen travels down the style and then into the ovary.

7. The tiny piece of pollen joins onto an ovule in the ovary. The plant has now
been fertilised.

8. The ovary of the flower turns into seeds, which will then be dispersed so that
new plants will be able to grow somewhere else.
