Plant Systems

What part of the flower is responsible for producing the pollen?

• Filament

• Ovary

• Stigma

• Anther

Describe the process of plant fertilization

• Pollen is produces in the anther, pollen lands on the filament, pollen travels down the filament, pollen fertilizes the egg in the ovary

• Anther produces pollen, pollen lands on stigma, pollen travels down the style, pollen fertilizes the egg in the ovary

• Stigma produces pollen, pollen lands on anther, and travels to the ovary

What is the function of the stamen?

• To produce the female sex cell (ovule)

• To produce seeds

• To produce male sex cells (pollen)

• To attract pollinators

What occurs in the roots?

• Absorption of water and minerals

• Transport of water and minerals

• Photosynthesis

• Sexual reproduction of plants

What occurs in the shoots/stem?

• Absorption of water and minerals

• Transport of water and minerals

• Photosynthesis

• Sexual reproduction of plants

What is required for photosynthesis to occur?

• Sunlight, Water, and Soil

• Sunlight, Water, and Air

• Sunlight, Water, and Oxygen

• Sunlight, Water, and Carbon Dioxide

In what part of the flower can the egg (ovule) of the plant be found?

• Stamen

• Ovary

• Stigma

• Anther

• Style
