kenmerken en functies   

Sepals

Petals

Stamen

Carpel

Male reproductive organ

Stigma, style and ovary

To attract insects

Produce egg cells (female sex cells) in ovum

Filaments and anther with pollen sacs

Produce pollen grains (male sex cells)

To protect the flower bud against cold and dehydration

Large and brightly coloured, sometimes small and green

Usually green

Learning goals

1. You can describe what pollination is.
   
2. You can explain the difference between cross-pollination and self-pollination.
   
3. You can list the features of insect-pollinated flowers and wind-pollinated flowers.
   

Pollination

Transferring pollen from a stamen to the stigma is called pollination.

Cross-pollination vs self-pollination

Insect pollinated flowers

Wind pollinated flowers

Get to work

Pollination - read carefully!

Self-pollination

Cross-pollination

No pollination

When pollen on the anther of a flower reaches the stigma of a flower on the same plant

When pollen from one plant reaches the stigma of a flower on another plant 

When pollen of one species (=soort) reaches the stigma of a flower of another species

Self-pollination

Cross-pollination

No pollination

Insect-pollinated flowers

Wind-pollinated flowers

The petals are coloured 

The petals are small and green

The flowers have nectar and are scented

The flowers don't have nectar

Pollen sacs are outside the flower

Pollen sacs are inside the flower

Stigma is usually inside the flower

Stigma is usually outside the flower

Stigma are feathery (geveerde vorm)

pollen grains are rough and sticky

Pollen grains are smooth and light
