4. Pollen

Pollen is produced by a variety of flowers.  Flowers have male parts called stamens that produce a sticky powder called pollen.  Pollen is yellow and consists of microscopic grains.  Each grain contains a male gamete that can fertilize the female ovule, to which pollen is transported by the wind, insects, or other animals.
