1 Most flowering plants grow from seeds! 2 Stage 1: Seed Stage 4: Stage 2: Fruiting Plant Growth Stage 3: Flowering Plant 3 4 Seed Germinating Fruiting Plant Growth: Ripened (Ripe) Fruit Seedling Fruiting Plant After pollination seeds form inside flowers Growth: Young Plant Flowering Plant Pollination Flowering Plant (Adult Plant) 5 Stage 1: Seed When a seed has enough air, and the temperature is right, a seed takes in water and starts to grow. Click on photo to see video Germinate: a seed begins to grow 6 Stage 1: Seed The first stage of plant growth from a seed to a seedling. 7 Stage 2: Growth The 2nd stage of a flowering plant’s life cycle is growth. The plant grows from a seedling to young plant. Seedling • A very young plant grown from a seed. 8 Stage 2: Growth A young plant has more leaves than a seedling, so it makes its own food through photosynthesis. Tomato Seedling Young Tomato Plant A young plant is larger and has longer, stronger stems and roots than a seedling. 9 Stage 3: Flowering Plant Now, the plant has flowers, it can reproduce itself through pollination. Plant grow flowers to attract pollinators. Flowering tomato plant. 10 Stage 3: Flowering Plant Pollination must happen for a plant to develop into a fruiting plant. Cross-pollination The pollen moves from the stamen of one flower to the pistil of a different flower. Self Pollination The pollen moves from the stamen to the pistil within the same flower. 11 This plant is growing from an adult flowering plant to the adult fruiting plant stage of it’s life cycle through the process of pollination! 12 Stage 4: Fruiting Plant • The bottom of pistil grows into a fruit with seeds inside. 13 1.Seed Germination 2.Growth Seedling Seedling 3.
