How do flowers help the plant to reproduce?
23

• 1. Flowers produce pollen (needed to fertilise
  other flowers).
• 2. Insects (like bees) and birds are attracted
  to flowers due to their brightly-coloured petals
  and scent.
• 3. When they collect the nectar from flowers,
  some of the pollen gets on them.
• 4. When they fly to another plant to collect
  nectar, some pollen is deposited into the new
  flower.

24

• 5. This can result in fertilisation and a fruit
  developing.
• 6. Fruits (which have seeds) are eaten by
  animals. The seeds (with the droppings) are then
  spread far and wide, causing new plants to grow.
• 7. Flowers with small petals, no nectar and no
  scent depend on the wind to disperse their
  pollen.
