Challenge
6 Flower A is the male flower – it has stamens/anthers.

Flower B is the female flower – it has a stigma and an ovary.
7 A pollinator will visit the male flower and collect pollen. It will then move to the female flower
and leave pollen on the stigma.
8 Arrows should show pollen being transferred from anthers of flower A to the stigma of flower B.

Practice
3 By water – seed has spongy covering that helps it float.
By air – seed is very light with thin papery wings.
By animals – seed has spines and hooks.
By explosion – seed pods dry out and burst open.
4 Some plants have fruits that animals like to eat. The animals eat the fruit which contain
the seeds. The seeds are spread in the animals’ droppings.
5 So they grow away from the parent plant and have enough space, light and water to grow into new
plants.
Challenge
6 By wind. The seeds have wings or a parachute of hairs to help them blow away in the wind.
