INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that you complete all activities and worksheets when instructed to do so. The pad icon will indicate when you should fill in your worksheet.
Work your way through the presentation by clicking on the background to move to the next page or to activate an animation. The mouse icon will indicate that a click will activate an animation or require buttons to be pressed in the quizzes. You can navigate around the presentation by using the arrow links that appear when you place your cursor on the lower left hand part of the screen. Some slides have embedded movies which will start when you click on the image. The video camera symbol tells you when a movie is available. There is sound so you may want to wear headphones if people are working near you. You can return to the home page by clicking on the clickbiology icon. At the end of the module there is a test that will provide a results page which you will print off and hand in to your teacher. The speaker symbol means that there are some audio explanation available for the slide

Pollination
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma Click to view the animation
This is an example of cross-pollination as the pollen travels from one flower to a different flower. This is desirable in plants as it promotes variation.

Insect-pollinated flowers are adapted to attract insects to them to enable transfer of pollen
Pollen has barbs for hooking onto insect fur
Flower Structure
Pollination
Wind-pollinated flowers are different in structure because they do not have to attract insects to them but do need to be exposed to the wind.
Pollen grains are very small and light. They occur in very large numbers Anthers are exposed to the wind so that pollen can easily be blown away
Stigma are feathery to catch pollen carried on wind Petals are small and green as there is no need to attract insects

Once pollination occurs a tube grows from the pollen grain down through the style to the ovule

Fertilisation occurs when the male gamete fuses with the ovule (the female gamete)

After fertilisation the petals, stamen and sepals fall off. The ovule turns into a seed, the fertilised egg inside develops into an embryo plant.

Water leaves the seed, it dehydrates and becomes dormant because metabolic reactions stop. The ovary develops to become a fruit.
