Q

before germination

A
  1. absorb water: testa can be softened or burst
  2. stored nutrients: dissolved in the water and transported to the radicle, hypocotyl and plumule
  3. germinate (start to grow)

Q

during germination

A
  1. **radicle **elongates and burst out of the testa
  2. hypocotyl elongates so that plumule can come out of the ground
  3. plumule develop into stem and leaves grow out of it
  4. photosynthesis

46
Q

growth cycle of a plant

52
Q

stigma

A

receives pollen grains

53
Q

style

A

support the stigma

54
Q

ovary

A

can be fertilized and develop into fruits

55
Q

A

develop into seeds

56
Q

sepals (leaves)

A

protects the bud

57

67
Q

pollination can be affected if

A
  • wind too strong
  • rain too frequent
  • temperature too low
68
Q

artificial pollination involves

A

69
Q

process of fertilization

A
  • pollen grain drop onto the stigma, held by sticky excretion of stigma
  • develops a pollen tube
  • pollen tube penetrates stigma and grows down through the style into the ovule of the ovary
  • pollen tube reaches inner portion of ovule,** male gamete/ sperm cell** is released to combine with the egg cell of ovule
70
