Flower Questions 1. What is the purpose of the flower for a plant? How does it carry out this function? 2. How do the location of the pistil and stamen help with pollination? 3. How can flowers help other organisms? What type of relationship is it? 4. Why do you think flowers are brightly colored and have strong odors? What would happen to a flower if it had dark petals or no petals at all? 5. Which part of the flower becomes the seeds of a plant? What part becomes the fruit? 6. What purpose does pollen serve in fertilization? What is in the pollen grain? 7. Where in the flower does fertilization occur? 8. What is the purpose of fruits in flowering plants? 9. What is the male part of the plant? What are its two structures? What does it produce? 10. What is the female part of the plant? What are its three structures? Which one produces the seed? 11. Which plant would have more pollen grains: a flower pollinated by the wind or a flower pollinated by an insect? Why? 12. Is it better for a plant to fertilize itself or have another flower's pollen fertilize it? Why? (think back to Mendel) 13. What enters the leaf through the stomata? What exits the leaf through the stomata? 14. Why are stomata important to a plant? 15. Why would most plants have more stomata open during the day than during the night? 16. Under what circumstances might the stomata be closed during the day? Explain. 17. Why is there meristematic tissue in the stem and leaves?
