After a flower is fertilized, it dies, but its ovary grows into a fruit.

All living organisms reproduce. but what exactly is reproduction? Well, its how a new generation comes into being. Flowering plants need to produce seeds in order to be able to make new plants. We often think of flowers as being beautiful to look at, but they actually play an essential role in the reproduction of most plants. They attract insects who pollinate them. They then produce fruits which contain seeds. Dispersal then takes place as the seeds are spread away from the plant. Some of the seeds will then germinate and become plants themselves.

1 .

What is germination?

When a flower is pollinated

When a seed begins to grow

When the seeds leave the parent plant

When the pollen meets the egg

Seeds need warmth, water and a safe place to germinate

2 .

After a flower is fertilized, it dies, but its ovary grows into what?

A new flower

A new plant

A fruit

A herb

Fruits contain the seeds which will be able to grow into new plants

3 .

How does a flower's scent and bright color help it to reproduce?

Non-colourful flowers do not produce pollen

Scent and color attracts people

Scent and color attracts insects

All of the above

The scent and the color advertise the flower to insects. The insects go there to get nectar but carry pollen from flower to flower as they do

4 .

Seeds cannot stay on the parent plant. What must happen to the seeds in In order for them to grow?

They must be expelled

They must be fertilized

They must be pollinated

They must be dispersed

'Dispersed' means spread over as wide an area as possible

5 .

Pollen grains are contained in which part of a flower?

The anthers

The styles

The petals

The sepals

The anther is part of the stamen

6 .

Which of these is not a method of seed dispersal?

Animals eat the fruit, expelling the seeds

The wind blows the seeds away

Insects visit the flower

The seed pod explodes, scattering the seeds

Insects visit the flower during pollination, not dispersal

7 .

Pollen must be transferred to which part of the flower for pollination to occur?

Stigma

Petals

Sepals

Stem

The stigma is the tip of the carpel

8 .

Some flowers are pollinated by insects. What do other types of flowers use to pollinate them?

Dying

The wind

Fertilisation

Magic

Plants pollinated by the wind usually have less colorful flowers

9 .

Which one of these is not a female part of a flower?

Style

Stigma

Ovary

Stamen

The 'men' in 'stamen' is a helpful reminder that the stamen is a male part of the flower. The stigma, style and ovary together form the carpel, which is female

10 .

Which of these describes fertilization?

A pollen grain joins with an egg in the flower's ovary

An insect transfers pollen to the stigma

A flower disperses its seeds

The wind blows the pollen grains from the anthers

Cells travel from the pollen to the egg and fertilize it
