Q1. Label the parts of a flower:
- Petal
- Stamen (Anther and Filament)
- Pistil (Stigma, Style, Ovary)
- Sepal
- Receptacle
Q2. Put these words in the correct spaces below:
Pollination gets the pollen from the anther to the stigma. Pollen lands on the stigma but its nucleus has to fuse with the ovule nucleus. To do this a sticky solution on the top of the stigma stops the pollen from falling off or blowing away. The pollen makes pollen tubes which grow down the style and into the ovule. When it reaches the ovule, the pollen nucleus moves down the tube and fuses with the ovule nucleus. The ovule has then been fertilised.
Q3. Label the seed images with the following words: Seed coat, food store, tiny root, tiny shoot.
- Left image (bean seed):
- Outer layer: Seed coat
- Large curved part: Food store
- Small pointed tip: Tiny root
- Small bud-like structure: Tiny shoot
- Right image (split bean seed):
- Outer layer: Seed coat
- Inner fleshy part: Food store
- Embryo structures visible: Tiny root and Tiny shoot
