parts of plants and their
functions; and

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION IN
PLANTS
FLOWERS are the reproductive
structures of plants. The most
important functions are to ensure
fertilization of the egg cell within
the ovule and to help in the
development of the ovary into a
fruit that contains the seed.

PARTS OF A FLOWER
PARTS OF A FLOWER
COROLLA – it comprises
the petals of flowers. The
main function is for
protection and attraction. It
contains nectarines that
give them characteristic
scent.
PARTS OF A FLOWER
CALYX – it comprises the
sepals of the flower. It is
color green. SEPALS
protects the flower when it is
still a bud and contributes to
the process of
photosynthesis.
PARTS OF A FLOWER
RECEPTACLE – it supports
the entire flower.
PEDUNCLE/STALK – it
connects the flower to the
branch or stem.
PARTS OF A FLOWER
PISTIL – it is the female
reproductive structure. It is made
up of three parts: STIGMA, STYLE
and OVARY.
STIGMA – it is the swollen tip of
the pistil.
STYLE – it is a long, slender tube
that connects the stigma and ovary
PARTS OF A FLOWER
OVARY – it is the enlarged basal
portion of the pistil that houses the
ovule.
STAMEN – it is the male
reproductive structure. It is
composed of two parts:
1. Anther – it is the expanded and
lobular structure at the tip of the
filament
2. Filament – it is the stalk that
POLLINATION AND
FERTILIZATION IN FLOWERING
PLANTS
Pollination occurs when the pollen
grain of one flower reaches the
stigma of another flower.
The sperm cells from that pollen
grain are released on the stigma.
The pollen grain grows a pollen
tube downward until it reaches an
ovule and releases two sperms.
POLLINATION AND
FERTILIZATION IN FLOWERING
PLANTS
Double Fertilization happens
when one sperm cell of a pollen
grain fertilizes an egg cell while the
other cell combines with a cell
called ENDOSPERM.
KINDS OF POLLINATION
SELF POLLINATION – it occurs
when the pollen is transferred from
the stamen of one flower to the
pistil of the same flower
CROSS POLLINATION – the
pollen grain is transferred from the
anther of one flower to the stigma
of another flower of the same kind.
HOW POLLEN IS
TRANSFERRED?
The agents of pollination BEES,
BUTTERFLIES, DRAGONFLIES, and
other insects may carry the pollen
grains on their feet.
Water may also transfer pollen
grains from the anthers of a flower
to its own stigma, or to the stigmas
of another flower of the same kind.
HOW POLLEN IS
TRANSFERRED
Wind also carries pollen grains.
Wind may blow the pollen grains
and they may fall on the stigma of
the pistil.
