When pollen reaches the stigma, which is the end of the pistil, the pollen begins to grow a pollen tube through the style, which is the stalk of the pistil. Once it reaches the ovary, it fertilizes a ovule, which later turns into a fruit. jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145224122 2022-04-15 23:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145224122 The stamen is composed of a long filament that holds up the anther, which is where pollen is located. jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145224236 2022-04-15 23:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145224236 Flowers have a distinct scent, vibrant colors and release nectar to attract animal pollinators. jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145224336 2022-04-15 23:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145224336 There are 2 main kinds of pollinators, animal/insect and wind. jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145225048 2022-04-15 23:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145225048 Animal pollinators are more common and include things such as bees, butterflies, and bats. They use Nectar, color, and scent to attract pollinators that will brush against the anthers of the plant. When they go to a different plant, they bring the pollen from the last plant with them, leading to cross-pollination jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145226563 2022-04-15 23:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145226563 Wind pollinators spread gametes by having them blow in the wind to other plants. Some exaples include dandelions, wheat, corn, rice, and many other grains. jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145228361 2022-04-15 23:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145228361 Flower Ovule jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145229299 2022-04-15 23:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145229299 Bees and Butterflies both co-evolved with flowers to pollinate them because as the flowers made nectar, bright colors, and sweet smells, they learned to be attracted to those things. This lead to a mutually beneficial relationship between the species. jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145232978 2022-04-16 00:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145232978 jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145233038 2022-04-16 00:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145233038 More vibrant and attractive flowers have an advantage in being pollinatated because they attract more pollinators jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145233853 2022-04-16 00:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145233853 jmcaree0104 https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145234707 2022-04-16 00:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcaree0104/eoesdorp27umfylw/wish/2145234707
