Plant Life Cycles and Pollination

The video explains the life cycle of flowering plants, starting from seeds needing specific conditions to germinate in spring. It covers the growth of seedlings into mature plants, the role of pollinators in pollination, and various methods of seed dispersal. The cycle is influenced by seasons and involves interactions with animals and the environment.

What is a life cycle in the context of living organisms?

• A cycle that repeats every day

• The stages from birth to adulthood

• A process that only occurs in plants

• A process that only occurs in animals

What conditions are necessary for a seed to begin its life cycle?

• High humidity and no sunlight

• Sunlight, nutrients, and water

• Cold temperatures and darkness

• Only water is needed

What are the three main parts of a young plant?

• Roots, stem, and leaves

• Flowers, fruits, and seeds

• Bark, branches, and roots

• Stem, petals, and thorns

What is the process by which plants make their own food?

• Pollination

• Germination

• Respiration

• Photosynthesis

What is pollination?

• The mixing of pollen from one flower with another

• The growth of a plant from a seed

• The process of photosynthesis

• The process of seed dispersal

Which of the following is NOT a pollinator?

• Rocks

• Wind

• Butterflies

• Honeybees

How do birds contribute to pollination?

• By making nests in flowers

• By drinking nectar and transferring pollen

• By carrying pollen on their beaks

• By eating the seeds

What is seed dispersal?

• The process of seeds growing into plants

• The spreading of seeds away from the parent plant

• The mixing of pollen between flowers

• The process of photosynthesis

Which method is NOT used for seed dispersal?

• Photosynthesis

• Animal fur

• Water

• Wind

How do animals help in seed dispersal?

• By pollinating them

• By planting them in the soil

• By eating the seeds and excreting them

• By watering them
