7. Pollen

Pollen is a powdery like substance found on flowering plants in which contains sperm cells in order to reproduce sexually. Through the process of pollination, the male gametes are sent through a pollen tub   straight to the flower ovary where the female gametes are. Pollen producing plants require a third party to help them transfer the pollen, which is one of three things: wind, water, and insects.
