seeds to a flower Flashcards
(6 cards)
seedling formation
- A tiny and fragile plant is known as a seedling
- It starts growing towards sunlight when it gets the proper nutrients from the sin as well from the roots
growth and development
- Plants carry out a process called photosynthesis using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to synthesize their own food in the form glucose.
- This energy is stored for later process during flowering and reproduction.
differentiation
- Plants become a mature plant and starts flowering.
- Flowers will attract bees and pollinate insects and helps in pollination and fertilisation.
pollination & fertilisation
- Pollination occurs when pollen travels from one plant to the flower of a different plant
- Fertilisation is when the pollen meets the egg inside the flower. This creates seeds
formation of fruits and seeds
- After fertilization, the ovary of the flower starts to grow and change into a fruit
- In the fruit, the seeds develop
- When the fruit is ripe, its like a signal for the seeds to be dispersed
