Flower Parts Practice

Master flower anatomy! Learn male/female parts, pollination, and key terms with our interactive worksheet.

Sort the flower parts between Female and Male Female Pistal Stigma Style Ovary Ovule Male Pollen Anther Stamen Match each flower part with their description. Fertilization to combine the sperm grain with an egg to form a seed Sepal one of the leaf-like parts that protects a flower and it is usually green Petal colorful and often scented part of the flower that attracts insects Stamen parts of the flower that makes pollen, this includes filament and anther Anther a structure located at the end of the stamen that contains and releases pollen Pistil parts of a flower that makes the eggs that grow into seeds this includes stigma, style, and ovary Ovary The structure at the base pistil that houses the ovule or egg Ovule An individual female egg cell housed in the ovary that can be fertilized by pollen in order to make a seed Pollen An individual grain of genetic material released from the anther Pollenation the process of moving pollen from a anther to a pistil to create a seed Fill in the blanks in the paragraph below. For plants to make seeds, the pollen from the anther of one flower needs to fertilize the ovule of another flower. The seeds are produced in the flower’s ovary, at the base of the pistil. A variety of critters collect pollen while collecting nectar to feed themselves and their young. These critters then carry pollen from one flower to another and are called pollinators. pistil stamen anther filiament style sepal stigma pollen ovule ovary
