Plant Reproduction (Vocabs)

Flower

The reproductive organ
for plants that reproduce
sexually.

Female reproductive part of flowers.

​Pistil

Sticky tip of the pistil.

Receives/collects pollen through pollination.

​Stigma

​The swollen base of the pistil and contains ovule(s)/egg(s).


Develops into fruits after fertilization.

​​Ovary

The female sex cell/gamete of plants, it is contained in the ovary.


Develops into seeds after fertilization.

​

​Ovule(s)

Made up of anther & filament.

​
Anther: Produces pollen (male sex cell) of the flower.

Filamant: Provide support & holds the anther in place.

​Stamen:The male reproductive part of a flower.(produces pollen).

The male sex cell of plants. It fertilizes the ovum to form a zygote


Called sperm in other organisms.

​Pollen

Transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma, by factors such as insects, wind, birds.

​

​Pollination

Combination of the pollen (male sex cell) and ovum (female sex cell) to form a zygote

​
Zygote later develops into seed.

​Fertilization

Movement/spread of seeds from one location to a different location.



This increases the success rate of reproduction in certain plants.

​Seed dispersal

Development of the embryo of a seed into a seedling (young plant)

​

​Germination
