Life Cycles in Plants

Plants have the capacity to reproduce both sexually and asexually, known as alternation of generations. Seeds are the building blocks of all plants. Once these seeds find soil rich in oxygen and moisture levels as well as an ideal temperature environment, their outer coating releases and they begin growing, which is known as germination. Gametophytes…

The Seeds – An Overview of the Plants Life Cycle

Plants possess an extraordinary capacity to disseminate their seeds across long distances using water, wind or animals as vehicles for this process. When the seeds reach an area with appropriate conditions for them to germinate they will take root and form new stems and roots. At this stage, plants utilize sunlight, carbon dioxide and water…

The Life Cycle of the Plants

Plants follow similar stages to humans: beginning as seeds and maturing into adults. Each seed encases a miniature plant inside. To germinate successfully, this miniaturised ecosystem requires water, warmth and oxygen for proper growth; once germinated it develops into a seedling before eventually becoming an adult plant. Seeds At the core of any plant’s lifecycle…

The Life Cycle of Plants

Germination (break-open of seeds) requires oxygen, water and temperature conditions that meet specific parameters for them to germinate (become open). This process is known as germination. Seedlings form roots and leaves to gather water, nutrients and sunlight for photosynthesis to produce food for themselves – this process helps them grow into mature plants which blossom…

Life Cycles in Plants

Plants, like people, undergo their own life cycle. Beginning as seeds containing everything needed for them to blossom into full-grown plants, the seeds are dispersed across the land by water, air or animals (except ferns and bryophytes ). When seeds reach soil with sufficient essential elements they undergo germination and begin growing into fully formed…
