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.
