Plants cycle

Question 1

Germination

Answer 1

The initial stage of the plant life cycle. If the seed has oxygen, sunlight, enough water, and the right temperature it starts to grow. When the seed takes in water, it will expand and split the seed coat and will begin to sprout.

Question 2

Seedling Formation

Answer 2

A tiny and fragile plant is known as a seedling. It starts growing towards sunlight when it gets the proper nutrients from the sunlight as well as the roots.

Question 3

Growth and Development

Answer 3

Plants carry out a process called photosynthesis using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to synthesize their own food in the form of glucose. This energy is stored for later processes during flowering and reproduction.

Question 4

Differentiation

Answer 4

Plants become mature plants and start flowering. Flowers will attract bees and pollinate insects and help in pollination and fertilisation.

Question 5

Pollination

Answer 5

Pollination occurs when pollen travels from one plant to the flower of a different plant. That pollen is the reproductive agent of the plant.

Question 6

Fertilisation

Answer 6

Fertilisation is when the pollen meets the egg inside the flower. This creates seeds.

Question 7

Formation of fruit & seeds

Answer 7

After fertilisation, the ovary of the flower starts to grow and change into a fruit. Inside the fruit, the seeds develop. They’re either picked and we eat them or, when the fruit is ripe, it’s like a signal for the seeds to be dispersed.
