16. Pollen


This is a picture of a flower that contains pollen. The pollen is located on the flower's stamen. Pollen is the yellow powder on a plant that helps to fertilize by delivering male gametes to the ovule of the plant. Pollen can travel from one plant to another plant via birds and bees or can fertilize the plant it is in. Pollen is needed in order to fertilize the ovule, this creating seeds. The seeds are then spread around and the cycle continues.
