Every plant begins as a seed. With sunshine and air heat warming its environment, its potential germinates and blooms into an organism capable of growth. Reproducing through either asexual or sexual reproduction, flowers reproduce either through pollen grains reaching part of their carpel called the stigma in order to be fertilised and produce seed. Flowers…
Plants undergo a life cycle which includes stages such as germination, growth, flowering and seed formation. In this article we will focus on the flowering lifecycle. Once a seed reaches optimal conditions of moisture, warmth, and light, it sprouts into a seedling with roots growing down to anchor it into the earth, while stems extending…
Flowers don’t just add beauty; they play an integral part of a plant’s life cycle! Flower petals act as pollen carriers to spread pollen grains onto nearby flowers where it fertilizes their ovules, helping plants reproduce. Seeds require water, oxygen, and warmth in order to germinate successfully. Once they’ve begun sprouting they form hard outer…
Seeds contain an embryo, food and protective coating. To enable their success in taking root as new plants in different conditions arises, seeds need to be dispersed across the land so they can grow as plants when conditions allow it. Many flowering plants feature colourful petals to attract insects and help pollinate them, with pollen…
Flowers play an essential part in our ecosystem. Not only are they beautiful, attracting pollinators and providing food to animals; but flowers also filter toxins out, recycle carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, and generate oxygen through photosynthesis. All plants go through an annual cycle of growth, flowering and producing seeds. Seedlings produce flowers which…
Plants go through various stages to reach maturity. These stages include germination, seedling development, vegetative growth, flowering and fruiting. Within each seed lies an embryo of a young plant with roots and stems, waiting to sprout when found in rich soil with plenty of moisture and an ideal temperature. Once it finds this ideal environment,…
