HOW DO PLANTS

REPRODUCE?
 THINGS TO
LEARN!!!
1.Identify plants that can
reproduce sexually and asexually;

2.Explain how plants reproduce

sexually and asexually;

3.Differentiate self-pollination and

cross pollination
 ESSENTIAL
QUESTIONS!!!
1.How do plants reproduce sexually?

2.How are the flowers different from

one another? Why do you think that
they have different features?

3.In what way are these flowers similar

from one another?
 SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION
Some plants reproduce using
their parts like their roots,
stems,and leaves

However ,there are some plants

which reproduce using their
accessory part –the flower
COMPLETE PARTS
OF FLOWER
 What is the difference between
PERFECT FLOWER and IMPERFECT
FLOWER?
PERFECT FLOWER
-> It has MALE AND FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN
IMPERFECT FLOWER
-> It has either MALE or
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN
MALE PART OF
A FLOWER
 STAMEN

STAMEN-male part of
a flower
Consists of filament & anther

FILAMENT- holds the anther in a

position tall enough to release the
pollen
 STAMEN

ANTHER –consists of two

lobes that contain pollen sacs

POLLEN SACS-have pollen

grains that are released by the
anther when they mature
What is the importance of
POLLEN GRAIN in
reproduction of plant?

POLLEN GRAIN- Helps to

reproduce new plant
 FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE
PART OF A FLOWER
 PISTIL
PISTIL – a female part
of a flower

Consists of ;STIGMA ,STYLE

and OVARY
 PISTIL
STYLE –a stalk
that connects the
stigma to ovary

STIGMA-> swollen structure

at the end of style.
 PISTIL
STYLE –a stalk
that connects the
stigma to ovary

STIGMA-> swollen structure

at the end of style.
 PISTIL
Ovary -Above the ovary is the style
and the stigma

->where the pollen lands and germinates

to grow down through the style to
the ovary

->for each individual pollen grain, to

fertilize one individual ovule.

OF A FLOWER
 COMPLETE PARTS
OF A FLOWER

RECEPTACLE – enlarged
upper end of a flower
stalk which bears the
flower or group of flowers
 COMPLETE PARTS
OF A FLOWER

SEPALS-modified leaves
which enclose and protect
the other parts of a
flower when it is still a
bud.
 COMPLETE PARTS
OF A FLOWER
SEPALS-
when the flower blooms, the
sepal supports the bottom of
the flower
CALYX->A group of sepal
 COMPLETE PARTS
OF A FLOWER
PETALS-most obvious part
of a flower.
->brightly colored to attract
insect for pollination
COROLLA->group of petals
POLLINATION
 PLANTS
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
->happens when pollen grains
are transferred from the
anthers(male) into the
stigmas(female)
 POLLINATION
->Transfer of pollen grains
from the anther to stigma
is called pollination.
 POLLINATION
>brought by wind, insects,birds.

>AGENTS OF POLLINATION
-animals and other agents that aid
in sexual reproduction of plants
TWO KINDS OF
POLLINATION
SELF-POLLINATION
-transfer of pollen grains from
the anther (male)to
stigma(female) of the same
flower or a different flower
that belongs to the same plant.
SELF-POLLINATION
SELF-POLLINATION
CROSS POLLINATION
