  1. Warm-Up • 1. The surface area of a root is greatly increased by the presence of _____. • fibrous roots c. root hairs • herbaceous roots d. taproots • 2. What is a root system that has several main roots that spread out and are all about the same size called? • fibrous roots c. root hairs • herbaceous roots d. taproots • 3. Each of the following is a root function in plants EXCEPT: • absorbs water c. anchors a plant • stores food d. produces food

  2. Warm-Up • 1. In which stage of a plant’s life cycle does the seed start to grow? • pollination c. germination • fertilization d. reproduction • 2. Which of these describes a mature flowering plant? • Its roots produce pollen. • It can produce seeds. • It cannot be pollinated. • It has not yet germinated. • 3. Which of these happens first during germination? • The seed absorbs water. • A tiny plant starts to grow. • The flower is pollinated. • The seed splits open.

  3. Warm-Up 1. What type of reproduction produces fungi or plants that are different from either parent? asexual reproduction cuttings runners sexual reproduction 2. Tubers can be distinguished from roots because, unlike roots, tubers have _____. a. bulbs b. buds c. runners d. root hairs

  5. Life Cycle of Flowering Plants 6.2.5 Summarize each process in the life cycle of flowering plants (including germination, plant development, fertilization, and seed production).

  6. All flowering plants have similar life cycles. These life cycles include distinct stages. These stages include: • Germination • Plant development • Fertilization • Seed production

  7. Germination • When seeds are dispersed from parent plant, they either lay dormant or begin to grow immediately given the right conditions. • This early stage of seed growth is called germination. • Roots begin to grow down, while stem and leaves grow up.

  8. Plant Development • Over time seed grows into mature plant with structures necessary to produce more plants.

  9. Fertilization • When pollen transfers from stamen to pistil (pollination) and enters ovule, fertilization occurs.

  10. Seed Production • Once ovule is fertilized it develops into a seed. • A fruit (fleshy, pod, or shell) develops to protect seed. • Seeds contain young plant surrounded by protective covering.

  11. Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant Writing Assignment • Write a friendly letter to a friend summarizing each process in the life cycle of a flowering plant. • You may use your notes; however, the letter must be in your own words. • The letter must have at least 3 paragraphs (Introduction, Body, and Conclusion). ** This is a graded assignment, so take your time and do your very best!!**
