Animal Life Cycles
All animals go through a process of maturity throughout their life span. This process is called...
Life Cycle
The female parts of flowering plants that contains the egg cells?
Pistil, Style, and Ovary
Which flower part contains the ovary and eggs where fertilization occurs?
Ovary (part of the pistil)
Some nonflowering plants (like pines) use these instead of flowers to produce seeds.
Cones (conifers)
These are the stages of incomplete metamorphosis in order...
Three stages: egg, nymph, adult.
The length of time an organism lives. It may be a very short or a very long period of time.
Lifespan
This is the male part of the flowering plant that produces pollen.
Stamen
This male part of the flowering plant holds the pollen grains, where pollinators pick up the pollen grains and transfer them to the stigma.
Anther
How is pollen typically moved from male cones to female cones in conifers?
Wind
These are the four stages of complete metamorphosis in order...
Four stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult.
A marine mammal that is called a calf when it is born and can swim almost immediately after birth...
Manatee
When pollen moves from the stamen of one flower to the pistil of another, this process is called ______.
Pollination
This part of the flowering plant is important for attracting pollinators.
Flower or blossom
This process is when male cells travel to the female cells resulting in a seed.
Fertilization
This stage of complete metamorphosis is when the insect is worm-like and has no wings.
Larval stage (larva)
This animal lives as an adult for only 24 hours.
Mayfly
After fertilization, the ovary often develops into this structure that protects seeds and sometimes attracts animals.
Fruit
This sticky or tubular female part of the flower catches pollen and leads to the ovary. (Name the part.)
Pistil
Once a seed of a conifer has germinated it is called a...
Seedling
In the stage of incomplete metamorphosis, the insect looks like a small version of an adult insect without wings.
Nymph stage
Frogs go through a process called metamorphosis. The stages of frog metamorphosis are...
Egg; Tadpole; Tadpole with legs; Froglet; Adult Frog
A seed needs these TWO things in order to germinate. (Germination is when a seed begins to sprout and grow.)
Air and Water
These animals move pollen from one plant to another. (What are these animals called; give an example)
Pollinators; bees, ants, bats, wasps, etc.
Plant seeds are moved from the parent plant to a new location through this process
Seed Dispersal
This stage of complete metamorphosis is when the insect wraps itself in a hard shell and does not eat or move, while it changes into an adult.
Pupal stage (pupa)
