1) plants reproduce from seeds.

2) The four stages involved in the cycle of the flowering plant are: , , seed and .

3) Plants that have both male and female parts on a single flower: Tomato, hibiscus and glory.

4) Plants that have male and female parts on seperate flowers: Watermelon, maize, papaya and cucumber.

5) Pollination occurs when grains are transferred from the to the .

6) There are two methods of pollination: by insect or by .

7) Examples of plants pollinated by wind: Grass, Oak, Willow, Wheat, M, Poplar and Pine.

8) pollination occurs between flowers of the same plant or within the same flower.

9) pollination occurs between flowers of seperate plants of the same kind.

10) is a process in which a male cell with a female cell.

11) After fertilisation, the , style and stigma will wither the gradually develops into a . The inside the ovary will develop into .

12) Fruits that are dry, , small and have wing-like structures or -like structures are dispersed by . Examples are s, lalang, a and tridax.

13) Fruits that are j, fragant, s or b coloured, hard seeds, have h or stiff hair are dispersed by animals. Examples are papaya, mango, m and grass.

14) Fruits that have outer layer or husks to help the plant stay are dispersed by water. Examples are c, l, pong pong and mangrove.

15) Germination is the process when the seed starts to grow into a young plant. Seeds will only germinate when the are right. If the seed is not dead, it will germinate when it gets enough w, o and w. A seed does not need light to germinate.

16) When a seed germinates, the appear first. At this stage, the young plant uses the food stored in the for energy. The appears after the root. When the first of the shoot open, the young plant is able to carry out to make its own food.

17) Some plants can reproduce without fertilisation. Such plants are the non-flowering plants. They will reproduce from . Examples are mosses and . Fungi such as mould and also reproduce from spores. Spores are generally dispersed by because they are .

18) For the fern, the spore bags are found on the of the fern fronds.

19) For the mushroom, spores are found in between the of the mushroom.

20) Plants can also reproduce from other plant , such as st, l and s.

21) Potato, ginger, tulip and yam are stems. Carrots reproduce from seeds. The part of the carrot we eat is the root.

22) Palm, pineapple and the b plant reproduce by .

23) Bry, African violet, Begonia plant and the Heliconia reproduce from .
