I WONDER - How Do Flowering Plants Reproduce?

Flowering plants reproduce through pollination, a process distinct from animal reproduction. The flower's stamen produces pollen, while the pistil contains tiny eggs. Pollination occurs when pollen reaches the pistil, leading to seed formation. Plants can self-pollinate or cross-pollinate, with the latter involving pollen transfer by insects, birds, or wind.

How do flowering plants reproduce differently from animals?

• Through pollination

• Through budding

• By laying eggs

• By giving birth

What are the two main parts of a flower involved in pollination?

• Stem and branches

• Stamen and pistil

• Roots and leaves

• Petals and sepals

What does the stamen produce?

• Pollen

• Nectar

• Seeds

• Fruit

What is self-pollination?

• When a plant pollinates another plant

• When a plant pollinates itself

• When insects pollinate a plant

• When pollen is transferred by wind

How does cross-pollination occur?

• By the plant's roots

• Through water

• By animals eating the seeds

• By insects, birds, or wind transferring pollen
