Seed Growth and Plant Development

The video tutorial explains the process of seed growth into plants. It starts with the seed's structure, including the seed coat and the necessary conditions for growth such as soil, water, and warmth. The video then describes the stages of development from a sprout to a seedling, and eventually into an adult plant. It highlights the characteristics of adult plants, such as their height and leaf abundance. Finally, the video discusses the role of flowers in attracting pollinators and the development of fruit to protect seeds, ensuring the continuation of plant life.

What is the purpose of a seed coat?

• To attract pollinators

• To protect the seed

• To provide nutrients

• To help the seed float

Which conditions are essential for most seeds to start growing?

• Soil, water, and warmth

• Water, rocks, and cold

• Nutrients, shade, and wind

• Sunlight, air, and space

During germination, what part of the plant grows downward?

• The sprout

• The stem

• The root

• The leaf

What does a sprout use to grow into a seedling?

• Heat, light, and sand

• Air, soil, and rocks

• Sunlight, water, and nutrients

• Wind, rain, and shade

How does a young adult plant differ from a seedling?

• It has more leaves and is taller

• It has fewer leaves

• It is underground

• It is shorter

Approximately how long does it take for a seedling to become an adult apple tree?

• Several years

• A few days

• A few weeks

• Several months

What is one of the main functions of flowers on adult plants?

• To store water

• To provide shade

• To attract pollinators

• To produce seeds directly

What happens to the seeds when the fruit ripens and falls to the ground?

• They dissolve in the soil

• They can grow into new plants

• They are eaten by animals

• They become dormant
