Plant Reproduction Steps
When pollen is transferred from the stamen to the pistil.
What is pollination?
The male part of a flower that makes pollen.
What is the stamen?
This plant part takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.
What is the leaf?
Tulips and apple trees grow from these.
What are seeds?
Plants that have flowers and make seeds inside the flower.
What are flowering plants?
These help move pollen from flower to flower.
What are pollinators?
The female part of a flower where seeds form.
What is the pistil?
These anchor the plant in the ground and absorb water and nutrients
What are the roots?
Ferns and mosses grow from these.
What are spores?
A non-flowering plant that makes cones.
What is a pine tree?
When pollen travels down the pistil to the ovary and joins with the egg.
What is fertilization?
This part of the flower protects the bud.
What is the sepal?
This part supports the plant and transports water and nutrients.
What is the stem?
Plants that grow from seeds inside cones.
What are cone-bearing plants?
Two examples of spore-bearing plants.
What are ferns and mosses?
The process when seeds are moved to a new place by wind, animals, or water.
What is seed dispersal?
Birds, insects, and wind help with this process.
What is pollination?
This structure grows into a new plant and is protected by fruit.
What is a seed?
Plants that do not use flowers to reproduce but still make seeds.
What are cone-bearing plants?
These types of plants do not grow seeds in flowers.
What are non-flowering plants?
When a seed sprouts a root and begins to grow.
What is germination?
The part at the bottom of the pistil that holds the egg.
What is the ovary?
This structure grows into a new plant in ferns and mosses.
What is a spore?
Plants that reproduce without seeds and without cones.
What are spore-bearing plants?
In non-flowering plants, seeds form here instead of in flowers.
What are cones?
