Slide4:
Pass the Pollen
Slide5:
Pass the Pollen The stamen makes pollen. When an insect comes to drink the nectar from the plant, the pollen sticks onto the insect’s back.
Slide6:
Then the insect goes on to collect nectar from another plant of the same type. When the insect brushes against the stigma all the pollen falls off onto it. The stigma is sticky so the pollen sticks to it. This is called pollination
The Pollen Pipe:
The Pollen Pipe
Pollen and Ovules:
Pollen and Ovules If our bee has the correct pollen in his pollen sacks, and if that pollen sticks to the stigma, a pollen pipe begins to grow.
The Final Fuse:
The Final Fuse As the pollen pipe grows down into the wall of the ovary, our pollen is able to fuse with one of the ovules to make a seed.
