Plant Stages
What is the first stage of a flowering plant's life cycle?
Seeds
What protects the inside of a seed?
Shell
What do plants need from the sun?
Sunlight
What is pollination?
The movement of pollen from one flower part to another.
True or False: A plant's life cycle begins with a seed.
True
What is it called when a seed begins to grow?
germination
What part of the seed can grow into a new plant?
Embryo
What do plants take in through their roots?
Water
What insect is commonly known for helping pollinate flowers?
Bee
What happens during germination?
The seed begins to grow and a sprout emerges.
What stage comes after a seed starts growing?
seedling
What does a seed need to begin germinating?
Water, air, sunlight, and the right temperature
What gas do plants take in from the air?
Carbon dioxide
Name another animal that can help with pollination.
Butterfly, bird, bat, or other pollinator
What part of a plant usually grows underground and takes in water?
Roots
What stage comes after the seedling grows larger and stronger?
adult plant
Name two ways seeds can travel from one place to another.
Wind, water, animals, or people
What process allows plants to use sunlight to make food?
Photosynthesis
How can wind help a plant reproduce?
Wind can carry pollen from one flower to another.
What happens after a mature flowering plant is pollinated?
It can produce seeds and fruit.
Put these stages in the correct order:
Mature plant → Seed → Seedling →Germinate
Seed → Germinate → Seedling → Mature plant
Why is seed dispersal important?
It helps new plants grow in different places and prevents plants from growing too close together.
Why are sunlight, water, and air important to plants?
They help plants make food, grow, and stay healthy.
Why is pollination important?
It helps flowering plants produce seeds and fruit.
Explain the plant life cycle from beginning to end.
Seed → germination → seedling → mature plant → flowering/pollination → seeds and fruit → new plant cycle.
