The correct answer is: the anther to the stigma.
To determine which answer is correct, let's understand the different parts of a flower involved in pollination.
1. Sepal: The sepals are the green leaf-like structures that protect the flower bud.
2. Pedicel: The pedicel is the stalk that attaches the flower to the stem.
3. Pistil: The pistil is the female reproductive part of the flower. It consists of several parts:
- Stigma: The stigma is the sticky part at the top of the pistil, where pollen is deposited.
- Style: The style is the long, slender tube-like structure that supports the stigma.
- Ovary: The ovary is the swollen base of the pistil that contains the ovules.
4. Stamen: The stamen is the male reproductive part of the flower. It consists of several parts:
- Filament: The filament is the stalk-like structure that holds up the anther.
- Anther: The anther is the terminal part of the stamen that produces and contains pollen.
Based on this information, the correct answer is "the anther to the stigma." Bees, as well as other pollinators, transfer pollen from the anther (male part) to the stigma (female part) of flowers, enabling pollination and fertilization to occur.
