Growing Plant with Flowers
Plants need flowers for reproduction. Flowers produce male cells called pollen and female cells called ovules (eggs). The pollen has to get to the ovules for the plant to produce seeds from which new plants will grow.
7
Pollination Getting the pollen to the ovule is called pollination. Pollination can be carried out by insects or the wind.
8
Petals and Nectar pollinated by insects. The large colorful petals
Some plants are pollinated by insects. The large colorful petals and the nectar attract insects to the flowers. The plant's pollen then sticks to the insects and they carry it to the next plant they visit.
9
Other plants have small petals and stamens outside their petals
Other plants have small petals and stamens outside their petals. Some plants are pollinated by the wind so that the pollen can be blown off by the wind easily. It has light pollen that can be carried a long way on the wind.
