Life cycle of a Plant
The embryo of the plant.
The Seed
The part of the plant that makes seeds.
The flower
This part of the seed will become the root of the new plant.
The Radicle.
The study of plants, their structure, classification, and importance
Botany
Plants are different from other living organisms in a special way. While most other organisms depend on other organisms for food and life, plants do this.
Make their own food
The process of a seed becoming a plant.
Germination
Part of the plant that protects the seeds.
Flower
The scientific name for the seed's coat.
The testa
A plant that develops flowers and enclosed seeds, either in a fruit or a nut.
Angiosperm
There are three things that a seed needs to wake up and those are: air, water and ......
light
After a plant sends down roots for stability and nutrients, it will develop the leaves it needs to perform photosynthesis and continue to grow during this stage.
Seedling
Supports the plants leaves and sucks up water.
The Stem
This will become the plant's first main shoot and bear the first true leaves.
The plumule
A plant without flowers or protected seeds.
Gymnosperm
When we buy a bag of dry seeds at the store, these are what we call “sleeping seeds” because inside every seed is a tiny living thing that is fast asleep or ____________________ until the right conditions are met to “wake” the seed up.
Dormant
After a plant is pollinated, it creates a reproductive packet filled with potential for new plants. This packet is ready to leave the parent plant and be transported by wind, water animal, or gravity to a new home during this stage.
Seed Dispersal
Performs Photosynthesis
Leaves
These are within the seed coat and store all the nutrients the seed needs to germinate and sprout into a new plant.
The cotyledon
The process when after a warm spring rain when the seed is exposed to water, the testa gets soft and soggy and loosens and it will come off.
Imbibition
Plants are vital to all other life on earth because they provide oxygen, a critical element for life, sustain life on the food chain and also provide this.
Shelter
Once it is fully grown, a plant is ready to reproduce and create seeds of its own. The life cycle begins again.
Mature Plant
Anchors the plant in place and holds nutrients
Roots
the region of an embryo or seedling stem above the cotyledon
The epicotyl
Comes from the Latin word "dormire" which means to sleep.
Dormant
This is a two part answer. Plants provide humans with food, shelter, fuel, ____________ and _____________
clean air (oxygen) and medicine
