Life Cycle of a Plant

See full size image

Plants – seed germination seedling (sprout)

--takes in WATER thru roots/produces FOOD in its leaves/passes food & H2O in stem--

full grown plant with flower (flowering plants –

make seeds) some flowers

produce fruit (that fruit holds the seeds of the plant).

--Flowers/fruits/cones= seeds for REPRODUCTION--

Life Cycle – distinct stages thatmake up an organism’s life.

- Pollination occurs in the flowers

- The seed is formed after pollination

- This is when the cycle begins again

Pollination

•is the process by which pollen is transferred in plantsor between plants

•Self-pollination – within the plant

•Cross-pollination – between plants

•By wind

•By insects and animals

•By humans

Seed Dispersal

Seeds are scattered in different ways-

Some coast along the currentsof the wind

Some are transported by water

Transported by animals-

Attachment to fur (humans– shoe strings, pant legs,etc…)

Stomach (Scat)

Burying, carrying, etc…

Vocabulary

Germinate – a seed that sprouts: the first stageof sprouting is the growth of roots

Seedling – a seed that has grown roots andbegins to grow a stem

Runners – horizontal stems
