• Ensure that you complete all activities and worksheets when instructed to do so. 
The pad icon will indicate when you should fill in your worksheet. 
• Work your way through the presentation by clicking on the background to move 
to the next page or to activate an animation. The mouse icon will indicate that a 
click will activate an animation or require buttons to be pressed in the quizzes. 
• You can navigate around the presentation by using the arrow links that appear 
when you place your cursor on the lower left hand part of the screen. 
• Some slides have embedded movies which will start when you click on the 
image. The video camera symbol tells you when a movie is available. There is 
sound so you may want to wear headphones if people are working near you. 
• You can return to the home page by clicking on the clickbiology icon. 
• At the end of the module there is a test that will provide a results page which you 
will print off and hand in to your teacher.

Pollination 
The pollen grain contains the male sex cell (gamete) 
Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther 
to the stigma 
CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy 
• This is an example of cross-pollination as the pollen travels from one flower to a 
different flower. This is desirable in plants as it promotes variation. 
Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
Pollen can be carried between flowers by insects 
CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy 
or by wind 
Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy 
Insect-pollinated flowers are adapted to attract 
insects to them to enable transfer of pollen 
Sticky stigma 
to collect pollen Brightly 
coloured petals 
nectar and a 
scent present 
Pollen has 
barbs for 
hooking onto 
insect fur 
Anthers positioned 
to rub pollen onto 
insects 
Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
Wind-pollinated flowers are different in structure 
because they do not have to attract insects to 
them but do need to be exposed to the wind. 
Anthers are exposed to the 
wind so that pollen can 
easily be blown away 
CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy 
Petals are small and 
green as there is no 
need to attract 
insects 
Stigma are 
feathery to catch 
pollen carried on 
wind 
Pollen grains are very 
small and light. They 
occur in very large 
numbers 
No scent or nectary 
Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
Self-pollination occurs when pollen falls from the 
CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy 
anther onto the stigma of the same flower 
• Self-pollination is 
not desirable as it 
reduces variation 
Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy 
Flowers will prevent self-pollination by either 
having stigma above stamen or… 
Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
…by having stamen and stigma mature at different 
CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy 
times.

After fertilisation the petals, stamen and sepals fall off. 
The ovule turns into a seed, the fertilised egg inside 
develops into an embryo plant.

Seeds need to be dispersed away from the parent 
plant in order to reduce competition for space, 
light, nutrients and water.

Germination 
Flower Structure Pollination Fruit Development Seed Dispersal Germination 
Test
The seed contains the embryo plant and 
cotyledons (starch stores) 
Water enters the seed 
through the micropyle 
and activates enzymes. 
The water also softens 
the testa to allow it to 
split.

  • 2. CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy Instructions • Ensure that you complete all activities and worksheets when instructed to do so. The pad icon will indicate when you should fill in your worksheet. • Work your way through the presentation by clicking on the background to move to the next page or to activate an animation. The mouse icon will indicate that a click will activate an animation or require buttons to be pressed in the quizzes. • You can navigate around the presentation by using the arrow links that appear when you place your cursor on the lower left hand part of the screen. • Some slides have embedded movies which will start when you click on the image. The video camera symbol tells you when a movie is available. There is sound so you may want to wear headphones if people are working near you. • You can return to the home page by clicking on the clickbiology icon. • At the end of the module there is a test that will provide a results page which you will print off and hand in to your teacher. • The speaker symbol means that there are some audio explanation available for the slide CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy

  • 12. CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy Pollination The pollen grain contains the male sex cell (gamete) Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
  • 13. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy • This is an example of cross-pollination as the pollen travels from one flower to a different flower. This is desirable in plants as it promotes variation. Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
  • 14. Pollen can be carried between flowers by insects CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy or by wind Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
  • 15. CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy Insect-pollinated flowers are adapted to attract insects to them to enable transfer of pollen Sticky stigma to collect pollen Brightly coloured petals nectar and a scent present Pollen has barbs for hooking onto insect fur Anthers positioned to rub pollen onto insects Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
  • 16. Wind-pollinated flowers are different in structure because they do not have to attract insects to them but do need to be exposed to the wind. Anthers are exposed to the wind so that pollen can easily be blown away CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy Petals are small and green as there is no need to attract insects Stigma are feathery to catch pollen carried on wind Pollen grains are very small and light. They occur in very large numbers No scent or nectary Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
  • 17. Self-pollination occurs when pollen falls from the CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy anther onto the stigma of the same flower • Self-pollination is not desirable as it reduces variation Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test
  • 18. CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy Flowers will prevent self-pollination by either having stigma above stamen or… Flower Structure Pollination Fertilisation Seed Dispersal Germination Test

  • 31. After fertilisation the petals, stamen and sepals fall off. The ovule turns into a seed, the fertilised egg inside develops into an embryo plant. CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy Testa: tough seed coat Micropyle: Hole made by pollen tube Embryo plant Cotyledon: Food store Plumule: Embryo shoot Radicle: Embryo root Flower Structure Pollination Fruit Development Seed Dispersal Germination Test
  • 32. Water leaves the seed, it dehydrates and becomes dormant because metabolic reactions stop. The ovary develops to become a fruit. CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy seed Fleshy wall of the ovary (yes, you are eating an adapted ovary when you crunch into an apple! Flower Structure Pollination Fruit Development Seed Dispersal Germination Test
  • 33. Seeds need to be dispersed away from the parent plant in order to reduce competition for space, light, nutrients and water. • Seeds can be dispersed by: • Wind • Water • Mechanical • Animals CClliicckkBBiioollooggyy
