What is the pollenation for on a flower?
Pollination is the transport of pollen from the anther onto the stigma of the flower. Pollination can be carried by insects, other animals and wind.
How does the pollen grains tube reach the ovary?
it is either get blown by the wind to another flower or carried by an insect.
What is the male sex cells of the flower?
Plants produce sperm cells and egg cells/ova as do animals. The exact structures may differ of course. Remember that plants have a gametophyte and sporophyte life stage. Only the gametophyte produces gametes/sex cells. The sporophyte produces spores. In the case of pollen, that is a type of spore which grows a gametophyte within itself which produces sperm.
The purpose of a pollen grain on a flower?
The purpose of pollen is to transfer the male reproductive cells (sperm) to the female reproductive cells (ovules) and thus to allow sexual reproduction. Pollen can be so transferred by many methods - wind, gravity, insects, etc. The pollen receptive part of the flower (the stigma) is often sticky, or textured so the pollen will stick. Once attached the pollen grain grows a tube into the stigma and down the style into the ovule. This tube allows the male gametes to fertilise the ovule, creating a seed.
How do the plant sex cells meet and fertilize?
Either the pollen is transmitted by the wind, or an animal of some kind transfers the pollen from one flower to another.
How does the male part of a flower get to the female part?
It does by wind or pollination. The pollen is carried when the animal drinks the nectar, then it sticks onto the pistil when the animal lands on another flower.
Why can you smell a flower across the garden?
because the sent is carried on the wind
How might pollen be carried from the anther to the female part of the flower?
To provide male gametes for gametic union of male and female gametes in order to have a new embryo and its endosperm.

Anther that hang outside the flower to catch the wind?
yes the anthers hand outside the flower on long filaments on a wind pollinated plant so the pollen is not enclosed, and so it is easily carried away by the wind
How does the pollen grains tube reach the ovary?
it is either get blown by the wind to another flower or carried by an insect.
Where can you find the sperm cells in flowers?
In most plants, and in all flowering plants, the male reproductive cells (sperm cells) are contained in pollen, which is transferred from plant to plant by insects, other animals or by the wind, or through self-pollination. In most flowers, the pollen can be seen on the anthers of the flower. During pollination, pollen is transferred from anthers to the flower's stigma.
How is a sunflower carried by the wind?
because at some points the wind is quite strong and can pick up flowers because it is stronger than the flower hope this helps :)
What does the stamen do to the flower?
The stamen is the male reproductive system of a flower while the pistil is the female reproductive system.These parts help the pistil's ovary to produce seeds.If the pistil and stamen are not present in a flower,then the reproduction will not take place.
Do poplar trees have separate sexes?
Yes. The male and female flower grow on separate trees and pollination is by wind.
What is the male sex cells of the flower?
Plants produce sperm cells and egg cells/ova as do animals. The exact structures may differ of course. Remember that plants have a gametophyte and sporophyte life stage. Only the gametophyte produces gametes/sex cells. The sporophyte produces spores. In the case of pollen, that is a type of spore which grows a gametophyte within itself which produces sperm.
What can be carried away by wind or water?
Loose sediments can be carried by wind, water, or ice.
