Pollination is an essential part of plant reproduction. Pollen from a flower’s anthers (the male part of the plant) rubs or drops onto a pollinator. The pollinator then take this pollen to another flower, where the pollen sticks to the stigma (the female part).

Pollination - Pollination is when pollen from a male anther is transferred to the female stigma of a flower. Ovary - Seeds are formed inside the ovary of a flower. Fertilisation - Fertilisation happens when pollen from a male anther reaches a female ovary in a flower.
3 lut 2023 · Helps in the reproduction of flowering plants through the formation of seeds and then fruits Produces food for humans and animals. More than half of the world’s fat and oils such as oil palm, canola, and sunflowers come from pollination.
Pollination. Lots of plants rely on insects like bees to reproduce. To make a seed, a flower needs to be pollinated. This means that pollen from one flower needs to travel to another. Bees are...
Explain cross-pollination and the ways in which it takes place. Describe the process that leads to the development of a seed. Define double fertilization. In angiosperms, pollination is defined as the placement or transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or another flower.
Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.
