Life Cycle
Across
- 2. – the pupa stage of a butterfly, during which it changes into an adult.
- 5. – an early, immature form of some insects (e.g., grasshoppers) that looks like the adult but is smaller and lacks wings.
- 8. – the early, immature stage of an insect (e.g., caterpillar or maggot) before it becomes an adult.
- 9. – the process by which a seed begins to grow into a plant.
- 11. – a repeating sequence of events or stages in a process.
- 13. – the young born from parents; babies or new organisms.
- 14. – the process by which pollen from one flower is transferred to another, allowing plants to reproduce.
- 15. – the process by which some animals change from one form to another during their life cycle (e.g., from a caterpillar to a butterfly).
- 17. – the first growth of a plant as it emerges from a seed.
- 18. – a young plant that is just beginning to grow.
Down
- 1. – the process of changing from one form to another, often used in reference to insects or amphibians.
- 3. – the fully developed stage of an organism that can reproduce.
- 4. – a protective covering made by some insects, like moths, during the pupa stage.
- 6. – when an egg breaks open, and the young animal emerges.
- 7. – the first stage in the life cycle of many animals, such as birds and insects.
- 10. – the process by which living organisms create offspring.
- 12. Cycle – the series of stages an organism goes through from birth to death.
- 14. – the stage in an insect’s life cycle where it undergoes transformation (e.g., chrysalis in butterflies).
- 16. – the starting point of a plant’s life cycle that grows into a new plant.
