Unit 26 - The Flowering Plant
Learning Outcomes:
- Distinguish between asexual and sexual reproduction in plants and describe a way in which a named plant can reproduce asexually (OB51)
- Identify the main parts of a typical flowering plant and their functions; the root, stem, leaf and flower (OB45)
- Locate and identify the main parts of the flower: sepals, petals, carpel and stamen (OB52)
- Use a suitable flower to identify the stigma, style, ovary, anther and filament (OB53)
- Understand that the stamen (anther) produces pollen, the carpel (ovary) produces the egg cell, the pollen produces the male gamete for fertilisation, the ovary produces the female gamete for fertilisation, and pollen is transferred by wind and by insects (OB54)
- Recall that seed formation follows fertilisation, and describe seed dispersal (OB55)
- Describe seed structure (testa, food supply, radical, plumule) (OB56)
