Buzzling — Flowers, Pollen & Pollination Pollen Post
Hi!
I'm Buzzling.
Welcome to Pollen Post!
Will you help me investigate flowers, pollen & pollination?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
An anther is a flower part that produces pollen.
A stigma is a receiving surface where compatible pollen may land.
Which part produces pollen?
- A. Anther
- B. Stigma
- C. Root tip
The answer is A: Anther
An anther is a flower part that produces pollen.
A stigma is a receiving surface where compatible pollen may land.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Pollination is transfer of pollen to a stigma.
Seed dispersal happens later when seeds move away;
it is a different event.
Where does compatible pollen land?
- A. Only a ripe seed's wing
- B. Only soil
- C. Stigma
The answer is C: Stigma
An anther is a flower part that produces pollen.
A stigma is a receiving surface where compatible pollen may land.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
In our text model, ANTHER → pollen carrier → STIGMA
is the pollination route.
Follow those labels to restore Buzzling's missing pollen path.
Which route models pollination?
- A. Root to stem
- B. Anther to stigma
- C. Seed to distant soil
The answer is B: Anther to stigma
In our text model, ANTHER → pollen carrier → STIGMA
is the pollination route.
Follow those labels to restore Buzzling's missing pollen path.
Nice investigating!
