Plant Life Cycle and Pollination

Front

What is the life cycle of a flowering plant?

Back

The life cycle of a flowering plant includes stages: seed, germination, growth, flowering, pollination, fertilization, and seed dispersal.

Front

What is pollination?

Back

Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male part of a flower (anther) to the female part (stigma) to enable fertilization.

Front

What role do bees play in pollination?

Back

Bees are important pollinators; they collect nectar and pollen from flowers, helping to fertilize plants.

Front

What is fertilization in plants?

Back

Fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes (pollen and ovule) to form a zygote, leading to seed development.

Front

What is germination?

Back

Germination is the process by which a seed develops into a new plant, starting when it absorbs water and ends when it breaks through the soil.

Front

What are the types of seed dispersal?

Back

Types of seed dispersal include gravity, wind, water, and animal dispersal.

Front

Why is seed dispersal important?

Back

Seed dispersal is important because it helps plants spread their offspring, reduces competition, and allows colonization of new areas.

Front

What is the role of water in plant growth?

Back

Water is essential for photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and maintaining plant structure.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What do plants need to grow?

Back

Plants need sunlight, water, air, nutrients, and space to grow.
