2. ALL plants can produce SEXUALLY.Plants produced by sexual reproduction are genetically different from both parents and from each other. This genetic variation increases the chance that some offspring will have traits that help them survive in a changing environment. Which would be an example of a plant with characteristics of survival?

Seedless Plants: Seedless plants do NOT produce seeds for reproduction. Instead of seeds, the bodies of seedless plants grow from spores. A spore is a tiny structure that is dispersed from the parent plant and can grow into a new plant body. A sperm of one plant must swim through water to fertilize the egg of another plant. Most seedless plants live in a moist environment because of their requirement of water to reproduce.A fertilized egg grows into a stalk-like structure that produces spores. True or False: a pine cone would be an example of a spore

Reproduction of seed plants: In plants WITH seeds, sperm are carried in a structure called pollen. Pollen looks like fine dust and can be transported by wind, water, and animals. Eggs develop inside a structure of the plant called an ovule. Ovule has a small opening where transported pollen can get inside. When the pollen reaches and fertilizes an egg, Pollination occurs. Pollination is a form of how plants ____________.

A fertilized egg develops into an embryo. The embryo will then grow into a new plant.The ovule becomes the seed, the structure that contains the embryo inside a protective coating. Seeds can be distributed away from the parent plant by wind, water, or animals. After seeds have been dispersed, they will grow into new plants. Which example is NOT how seeds can be distributed?

Seeds can be classified as nonflowering or flowering. Nonflowering plants produce seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit. Most nonflowering seed plants produce seeds enclosed in a structure called a cone. Flowering plants produce flowers and fruit. Flowering plants are the largest group of plants that live on land. Which of these would be an example of a flowering plant?

Many plants are able to reproduce sexually. Example: potatoes, spider plants. Potatoes can sprout roots that take hold in the soil and produce a new plant.Spider plants produce plantlets. Plantlets are tiny plants that grow along the edges of a plant’s leaves. They eventually break off and develop into new plants. Asexual reproduction in plants result in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Which of these examples reproduce sexually

Plants cannot move around to find mates or to deposit their seeds in the perfect spot for growth. Wind and water can assist plant reproduction. Also, many plants rely on insects, birds, or mammals to carry their pollen and seeds. From your prior knowledge, which insect plays the biggest role in helping plants deposit their seeds

Which part of the flower do you think reproduction takes place?

Which part of the plant, protects the plant?

What supports the plant?

Which part of the plant receives pollen?

What is the first part of the flower to form?

Other types of seeds can hitch a ride on the fur or feet of passing animals.The seeds have gooks, barbs, or sticky mucus that allows them to attach to animals.Some animals bury seeds of the plants, planning to return and eat them later.If the animals does not retrieve the buried seed, the seeds may germinate where they are buried. Which of these is a good example?

Which of these is NOT an environmental factor?

What is #4 on the diagram?

What is #7 on the diagram?

For example, the seeds of different plants may have different requirements to germinate, or develop from a seed into a small plant. Processes controlled by genes inside the seed are triggered by temperature, moisture, and light. These environmental cues tell when the conditions are good for plant growth. Seeds can delay germination, or go dormant, until conditions are right for plant growth. What does DORMANT mean?

Flowers contain nectar, a sugar-rich liquid that provides energy and nutrients to animals.Animals attracted to the flowers by their color or scent are rewarded with a tasty meal of nectar. The plant benefits because the animal carries away pollen that sticks to its body. The pollen is deposited on the next flower the animal visits. This is an example of mutualism where both organisms benefit. Which scenario below is an example of mutualism?
