| What is a seed? | living organisms in a dormant or inactive stage |
| What are the main parts of a seed? | seed coat, embryo, cotyledon |
| seed coat | the outer covering |
| embryo | the beginning of a new plant |
| cotyledon | the source of energy for the embryo |
| Process of germination | the start of growth in seeds and usually started by water softening the seed coat |
| Adaptation that allow plants to survive | the ways the seed are dispersed (spread aroundf) are examples |
| Ways seeds are dispersed | carried by wind, water, through animals, can be ejected, or a combination of these |
| Process of Photosynthesis | roots and stems bring water to the leaf, the leaf absorbs carbon dioxide from air, chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight, sugar is created and is used/stored by the plant, oxygen is a waste product and is released into atmosphere |
| Chlorophyll | green coloring fround inside the chloroplasts |
| Roots | appear first and anchor the plant and help bring water to the plant |
| stems | keep the plant upright and provide structure |
| flowers | help plants reproduce |
| Major structures in a flower | petals, sepal, stamens, pollen, pistil |
| Petals | visible and showy parts of the flower |
| sepal | where the flower attaches to the stem |
| stamens | male part of the flower (filament and anther) |
| pollen | grains form in the anthers and inside each pollen grain is the male sex cell (sperm) |
| pistil | the female part of the flower that contains the flattened tip called the stigma and ovary where eggs are found |
