Flowers contain male stamens that produce pollen and female ovaries that produce ovules. Pollination is when pollen moves from the stamens to the ovaries, fertilizing the ovules and allowing seeds to form. Seeds can germinate to grow new plants. Some plants also reproduce asexually through bulbs, tubers, stolons, or other vegetative means without flowers or seeds.

1. PLANT REPRODUCTION

2. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
●
●
●
●
Flowers are the
reproductive organs of the
plant.
The stamens are the male
parts which produce
pollen.
The ovary is the female part
and produces ovules.
Ovules become seeds.

3. POLLINATION
●
●
The stamens are full of
tiny pollen grains.
Pollination is the
movement of pollen
from the stamens to the
ovary.

4. POLLINATION
●
●
Pollination usually
takes place in the same
plant.
Wind and insects also
carry pollen to other
plants.

5. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
●
●
●
●
Some plants reproduce
without flowers or
seeds.

6. SEEDS AND FRUIT
●
After pollination the
flower changes.
1.- Its petals fall.
2.- The ovary grows
and becomes a fruit
with seeds.

7. SEEDS AND FRUIT
●
●
●
When the fruit is ripe, it falls.
The fruit opens and its seeds
fall out.
The seeds germinate:
they open and small roots and
tiny leaves grow.
●
A new plant forms.
