GRADE 11 LIFE SCIENCES: REMOTE LEARNING WORKSHEETS
WEEK 6: FLOWERS AS REPRODUCTIVE STRUCTURES
1.1 A = Stamen/Androecium ✓ (1)
B = Pistil/Carpel /Gynaecium ✓ (1)
1.2 Stigma produces a sticky substance ✓ to capture pollen.
OR
Stigma is lobed-shaped/enlarged as to offer greater surface area
(1)
for pollen to land on. ✓
1.3 (1)
Pollination ✓
1.4
The physical appearance of flowers/its coloured petals ✓
attracts pollinators✓ such as insects and birds✓ for pollination
which ensures reproductive success ✓
Seed dispersal mechanisms help to disperse seeds over a wide
area✓ reducing competition amongst the plants. ✓
After fertilisation ovary develops into fruit✓ which can be eaten✓ (6)
(Any 6) (10)
2.1 Flower A - animal✓/bee/bird/butterfly
Flower B - wind✓
(1)
2.2 Flower A has large petals✓to attract insects, with the stigma upright
(1)
above the anthers✓, large upright anthers✓
OR
Flower B has small petals✓ feathery stigmas✓ which are easily swayed
by the wind/ anthers and stigmas hang outside the petals✓ and are
easily moved.
(3)
(5)
3.1 Wind✓ (1)
3.2 − Large, feathery stigma ✓
1
− that hangs outside the flower✓
− Stamens are long ✓
− and visible out of the flower✓
− reduced/small flower petals ✓
Mark first TWO only (Any 2) (2)
3.3 − Both Gymnosperms and grasses are wind pollinated ✓
− Therefore, they need to produce large quantities of pollen ✓
− to ensure that at least some of it will reach the stigmas of
other plants ✓for cross pollination
− whereas most Angiosperms are pollinated by insects✓/
birds /bats
− and the pollen is collected from one flower and carried to
another flower ✓
− increasing the chance of pollen reaching the stigmas of
other flowers ✓ (Any 4) (4)
3.4 (120 – 90)/30 x 100✓
