What do plants need to
survive? Water
Air (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
Sunlight
Mineral salts
Fertilizers can be added to the soil to
increase the minerals available to
plants, more minerals help plants to
grow faster and stonger.

Reproduction in plants
To reproduce plants have flowers
containing male and female reproductive
organs.
The male part is called the stamen
The female part is called the carpel or
pistil.

POLLINATIONIt is the transfer of pollen grains from the anthers to the stigma
Pollinating agents
Insects Wind

Differences between insect &
wind pollinated flowers
Insect pollinated Wind pollinated
Have large colored petals with guide lines
Have a scent
Have a nectary on which insects feed
Have a sticky stigma for pollen grains to stick on it
The female and male organs are enclosed in the flower
Pollen grains are larger with spikes to hold on insect body
Have small green petals, no guide lines
Have no scent
Have no nectary
Have a feathery stigma to catch the pollen in the air
The female and male organs are hanging outside the flower
Pollen grains are smaller & light weight to be carried by wind

POLLEN GRAINS AS SEEN UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
Can you tell which belongs to insect pollinated flowers / wind pollinated flowers?

FERTILISATIONIt is the joining of male and female cells to produce a zygote.
Ovary Fruit
Ovule Seed
![Page 12: Plant reproduction gr. 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051315/55a9d2881a28ab6a1b8b472e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Seed structure
Radicle, grows
to be the root
Plumule, grows
to be the shootSeed
storage, food
that will be
used during
germination

Seed-fruit dispersal
If a seed lands next to the parent plant and
germinates it will compete with the parent
plant for nutrients in the soil.
Most plants developed methods to
scatter/disperse their seeds to ensure they
land further away from the original plant.
There are 2 main methods of seed
dispersal:
Wind dispersal
Animal dispersal
![Page 14: Plant reproduction gr. 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051315/55a9d2881a28ab6a1b8b472e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Wind dispersal
Parachute e.g. dandelion Winged fruits e.g. Acer
![Page 15: Plant reproduction gr. 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051315/55a9d2881a28ab6a1b8b472e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Animal dispersal
Hooked fruits e.g. Burdock and others
![Page 16: Plant reproduction gr. 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051315/55a9d2881a28ab6a1b8b472e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Animal dispersal Other fruits are large coloured and
fleshy/juicy to attract animals to eat them, swallowing the seeds at the same time.
The seeds have hard indigestible testa that pass out with faeces in a new area away from original plant.
Example of such fruits: apple, acorn, strawberries…etc.

Seed germination
Once a seed falls onto a suitable surface
it starts to grow.
Conditions needed for seed germination:
1. Suitable temperature
2. Oxygen
3. Water
