Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Function of the anther in a flower is to:

• Receive pollen

• Produce nectar

• Produce pollen

• Protect ovules

Structure that contains ovules in a flower is:

• Anther

• Stigma

• Ovary

• Petal

Pollination happens when:

• Seeds are spread to new places

• Pollen moves to the ovary

• Pollen lands on the stigma

• Flowers fall from the plant

Fertilization in plants takes place when:

• A seed begins to grow

• Pollen fuses with an ovule

• Petals fall off

• The fruit becomes ripe

A flower pollinated by wind usually has:

• Brightly colored petals

• Strong scent

• Small, light pollen

• Nectar guides

A flower pollinated by animals usually has:

• Dull-colored petals

• No scent

• Sticky pollen

• No nectar

Seed dispersal by wind is supported by seeds that are:

• Heavy and juicy

• Sticky and spiky

• Light and have wings or hairs

• Inside a hard fruit

Seed dispersal by animals often involves seeds that:

• Float on water

• Explode when dry

• Have hooks or are inside sweet fruits

• Have wings

Seed dispersal by water usually involves seeds that are:

• Heavy and dry

• Light and explosive

• Sticky and sweet

• Buoyant and waterproof

A plant that disperses seeds by explosion is:

• Coconut

• Dandelion

• Pea plant

• Mango
