Understanding Pollination and Plant Reproduction

What is pollination?

• The process of a plant growing flowers

• The transfer of pollen from the stamen to the pistil

• The movement of seeds by wind, animals, or water

• The growth of a plant from a seed

Where is pollen made?

• In the ovary

• In the pistil

• In the petals

• In the stamen

What do petals do to help plants reproduce?

• Produce seeds

• Attract pollinators with bright colors and sweet fragrance

• Transfer pollen to the pistil

• Disperse seeds

What happens during fertilization?

• Pollen joins with the egg cell in the ovary

• Pollen is made

• Seeds are dispersed

• A plant grows flowers

What does a seed contain?

• Pollen grains

• A new plant embryo

• Petals

• A pistil

How can seeds be dispersed?

• By producing pollen

• By wind, animals, or water

• By attracting pollinators

• By growing flowers

What is germination?

• The process of a flower being fertilized

• The spreading of seeds

• The growth of a root from a seed

• The making of pollen

What attracts pollinators to a flower?

• The roots

• The seeds

• The bright colors and sweet fragrance of the petals

• The pollen grains

What is the result of a flower being fertilized?

• It attracts more pollinators

• It produces seeds

• It grows roots

• It produces pollen

What is the role of the stamen?

• To attract pollinators

• To disperse seeds

• To produce pollen

• To grow roots
