Student Blog Post Assignment #10: Anthers and Stigmas and Styles, Oh My!

In the life of plants they have to fight for survival and the only way that their species can keep living is if they reproduce.The first step is the seed. The seed grows into a beautiful plant so when the plant is mature it has something called the stigma which is the female part which collects pollen. The object that is around the stigma is called the anther's. The anther's are the male part that make pollen. The pollen is plant sperm so when the pollen lands on the stigma it fertilizes the eggs that are inside of the stigma. The only reason this can  happen is because of angiosperm. Angiosperm is a fancy way of saying pollinated by animals. The only way they can reproduce is by the help of animals that are moving their pollen. This is why they are angiosperm pollinated plants.

This is a picture of the flower in full bloom.

 

There are the anther's with the stigma when you take the pedals of the flower.

 

This is the stigma which is in the middle of the flower.

 

This is another picture of the stigma when I cut it open to find the eggs. 

                                                                                                                              The last photo I took was the pollen. The pollen is the plants sperm which animals like bees

transfer the pollen to different plants.

Throughout a plants life, they need to survive, and the way their species can survive is if they reproduce or adapt to their surroundings. The first thing formed is the seed, then it will grow into a flower or a plant. If the plant is tall or fully grown it will have a stigma, the female part that collects pollen from other plants. The object around the stigma is the anthers. Anthers are the male part of the plant that produce pollen. The pollen is the plant's sperm. Angiosperm is why this reproduction is able to happen.
