Plant Biology

                                                                   Anther
Petal with Pollen
                                                                          Ovule
Today at Enrich some of us did Plant biology. We were cutting up a flower and looked at it through the Dino scope. We cut open the ovary and dino scoped the ovule. The bees land on the Anther and the pollen sticks to them. Then when they fly to another plant and  the pollen comes off on the other plant and then it travels down the stigma and fertilizes the ovules and they grow seeds.  When the plant dies it dries up and the seeds fall out, and then new plants grow! We looked at the textures of the petals and it looked like heaps of little circles. It was really interesting seeing the other things inside the plants.
