Plant Life Cycle

2. The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce food (glucose) and release oxygen.
4. The cycle starts again as new seeds are produced, dispersed, and germinate, leading to the growth of new plants.
5. The process of the ovary ripening into a fruit, which protects and contains the seeds of the plant.
8. A period of rest or inactivity in a plant's life cycle, often during unfavorable conditions like winter or dry seasons.
9. The aging or decline of the plant, usually marked by the withering and death of leaves, flowers, or the entire plant.
10. The period during which the plant increases in size, develops more leaves and branches, and establishes its root system in the soil.
12. The process in which a seed starts to sprout and grow roots, followed by the emergence of a shoot and leaves.

1. The production of new plants from seeds, either through sexual reproduction involving flowers or asexual reproduction such as by runners.
3. The transfer of pollen from the male part of a flower to the female part, enabling fertilization and the formation of seeds.
5. The stage when a plant produces flowers, which contain the reproductive organs for producing seeds.
6. Plants develop features and traits that help them survive in their specific environments, such as thorns, thick stems, or deep roots.
7. The young plant that grows from a germinated seed, with a small stem, roots, and one or a few leaves.
9. Begins as a small, dormant structure that contains all the necessary parts to grow into a new plant.
10. and Maturity The plant continues to grow, develop, and reach its full size and potential, producing more flowers, fruits, and seeds.
11. Dispersal The movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant, ensuring the spread and survival of the plant species.
