Flower Anatomy
Across
- 3. Very small structures hidden deep within the flower that could become a seed after fertilization
- 4. The colorful, noticeable structures that surround the center of a flower
- 6. The gland at the base of a flower that produces a sugary substance that attracts pollinators
- 7. The sticky, sometimes rough surface that traps pollen grains carried by the wind, insects, or animals
- 10. The long, thin stalk that holds up the anther (part of the stamen)
Down
- 1. The structure that supports the entire flower and transports water and nutrients
- 2. The narrow tube that connects the stigma to the ovary; pollen travels down this
- 3. The rounded structure that protects ovules, and which develops into a fruit after fertilization.
- 5. The green, leaf-like structures that protect a flower bud before it opens
- 8. The pollen-producing structure at the tip of a stamen
- 9. The sweet, fleshy structure an ovary develops into after fertilization
