Non-vascular plants

Orally and in writing, I can explain each stage of

the pollination and fertilization process.

Vascular Plants

Non- vascular plants

DO NOT have tubes

that move water, minerals and sugars through a plant.

Cross-Pollination

Vascular plants have tubes or veins that move water, minerals and sugars through a plant.

Some of the pollen comes off the bee and gets on the pistil.

Seeds develop from the egg

A tomato plant is a VASCULAR plant.

• part of the plant that uses sunlight to produce food

A pollen tube grows from the

top of the pistil to the ovary.

The pollen fertilizes the

egg in the ovary.

Pollen sticks to the bee.
