Key Topics to Revise
1
Fertilization in Plants
- Fertilization happens after pollination.
- Male gamete from pollen fuses with the female gamete in the ovule.
- This fusion forms a zygote, which becomes a seed.
2
Fruit and Seed Formation
- After fertilization, the ovary develops into a fruit.
- The ovule becomes the seed.
- Sepals, petals, and stamens fall off after fertilization.
3
Structure of a Seed
- A seed has a seed coat, cotyledons, and a tiny baby plant (embryo).
- Seed coat protects the seed from damage and germs.
- Cotyledons store food for the baby plant until it can make its own food.
4
Germination and Growing Plants from Seeds
- Germination is the process of a seed growing into a seedling.
- Conditions needed: healthy seed, water, air, warmth, and soil.
- During germination, the seed swells, the coat breaks, and the root comes out first.
