Seeds and Germination
The word for when a seed begins to grow into a new plant?
What is Germination?
This plant part anchors the plant and absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
What are the roots?
Pollination requires this many parent plants.
What is two?
This type of reproduction requires only one parent plant.
What is cloning?
This is the plant part you would eat when eating a carrot.
What is the root?
These three things are needed for most seeds to successfully germinate: water, oxygen, and this.
What is warmth?
This plant part supports the plant and transports water and nutrients throughout the plant.
What is the stem?
This is the male reproductive part of a flower.
What is the stamen?
Unlike pollination, this type of reproduction does not require the joining of male and female reproductive cells.
What is cloning reproduction?
This is the plant part you would eat when eating lettuce.
What is the leaf?
This part of the seed develops into the young plant.
What is the embryo?
This plant part captures sunlight and is the primary location of photosynthesis.
What are the leaves?
This is the female reproductive part of a flower.
What is the pistil?
When taking a cutting of a plant, make sure to cut between these. They can grow leaves, roots, or stems.
What are nodes?
This process allows a plant to use sunlight to make its own food.
What is photosynthesis?
This is usually the first structure to emerge from a germinating seed.
What is the root?
This plant structure is responsible for reproduction and can develop into fruits and seeds.
What is the flower?
This moves pollen from an anther to a stigma.
What is a pollinator?
These yummy plants can reproduce using these underground structures that contain buds called "eyes."
What are potatoes?
If a bee carries pollen from one flower to another, it is helping this reproductive process occur.
What is pollination?
In our glove experiment, this seed was used as the comparison to see what happened when other conditions were changed.
What is the control seed?
This is the part of a flower which turns into fruit.
What is the ovary?
This type of reproduction creates offspring with genetic differences because genetic material from two parents is combined.
What is pollination?
This is one major advantage of cloning: new plants can be produced quickly and are usually genetically similar to this plant.
What is the parent plant?
If a farmer wants to make many new plants that are genetically similar to one successful parent plant, this type of reproduction would be a good choice.
