Plant reproduction webquest

Picture
A flower, sometimes known as a bloom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. The function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing
a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs.
Flowers give rise to fruit and seeds. Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen.

In addition to facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food.

Your Task

Step 1

Plants can reproduce either sexually or asexually. Find out the differences between these two terms create a Venn diagram of sexual and asexual production in your book.  Double check your diagram with another student.

Step 2

You need a little background information on Plant Basics, before you move on. Click here

Step 3

You will then read an article on Plant Reproduction - They Make  More 
  1. What happens to a plant if it does not reproduce?
  2. Explain how mosses, conifers and flowering plants differ in reproduction

Step 4

You will then go the website  Beautiful Jamaican Flowers.   Study how each plant is different then write a paragraph about at least six (6) flower identified.   


Step 5

You will need to understand the structure of the flower. First, download and print the flower diagram. Then go to the Flower Anatomy website .Identify and label the parts of the flower. When you are finished, make sure you put your diagram in your notebook.

 Step 6

Watch the video on Plant Reproduction - Methods of pollination in plants. Write a paragraph in your notebook on reproduction and methods of pollination in plants.

Step 7

Watch the animation on how the pollen germinates and fertilises the ovum in order to produce the seed. Draw a diagram showing this process.

Step 8

Now it is time to answer some questions. Write the questions and answers in your notebook.

  • A flower is usually made up  of _____ parts which are arranged in ______ inside each other.
  • The sepal is the outermost ring. It _____ the flower when it was in bud.
  • The petals of a plant are  often ________ __________ to attract _______.
  • The stamens are the ____   parts of the plant which produce the yellow, dust-like ______.
  • The carpel is the ______   part of the plant which produces the _______ once ________ has taken place.
  • A flower can be pollinated  either by ______ or by _______.
  • When a flower is pollinated  by ______ the _____ go to feed on the ______ of the flower. They brush against  the ______ and collect the _______. Then they brush against the _______ of the  same or different flower and pass on the pollen that way.
  • When a flower is pollinated  by ________ the _______ blows the pollen. In this case the flowers usually have  small or non-existent petals.
  • The pollen reaches the carpel at the place called the _____. It travels down the _____ until it reaches  the ______ where a _____ is formed.

Check your answers with your partner.
