1. What are the two types of
plants that form seeds?
• There are two kinds of plants that form
seeds: cone-bearing plants and
flowering plants.
2. ____ are found in cones of cone
bearing plants and the fruit of the
flowering plants?
• Seeds are found in the cones of conebearing plants and the fruit of flowering
plants.
3. What are reproductive
structures of plants?
• Flowers are
reproductive
structures of
plants.
4. What is the part of a flowering
plant that contains and protects
the seeds?
• A fruit is the
part of a
flowering plant
that contains
and protects
the seeds.
5. What are the three main parts
of a flower?
• Flowers have parts that work together
to make seeds: stamen, pistil, and sepal
6. What does the stamen do?
• The stamen makes pollen.
7. What part of the plant collects
pollen ?
• The pistil collects
the pollen.
• The bottom of the
pistil is the ovary
where seeds form.
• The pistil is the
central structure of
the flower. It is
surrounded by the
stamens, the petals,
and the sepals.
8. What are leaf like petals at
the base of the flower?
• Sepals are leaf like petals at the base
of a flower.
9. When do seeds form?
• Seeds form after a flower is pollinated.
10. What happens when pollen is
carried from a stamen to a pistil?
• Pollination happens when pollen is
carried from a stamen to a pistil by
wind or animals.
11. What is the name of the young
plant inside of a seed?
• A seed is made up of a young plant,
called an embryo.
12. What does the seed do when
its needs have been met?
• When the seed has met its needs it
germinates, or sprouts.
13.Where do the seeds of a pine
tree form?
• The seeds of a pine tree (a cone-bearing
plant) form between the scales of its
cones.
14.Do all plants grow from seeds?
• Not all plants grow from seeds.
15. Give an example of a plant
that does not grow from a seed.
• Some plants grow from a piece of stem
put into water. New roots grow from
the bottom of the stem. The new stem
with roots is planted in soil.
16. What plant part is a potato?
• Potatoes are tubers, or swollen
underground stems. Tubers are often
dug up to eat.
17. List three examples of how plants
have adaptations that help them survive in
different environments.
• Plants have
many
adaptations
that help them
survive in
different
environments.
17. An example of a plant
adaptation:
• The ___________ is an unusual plant
because it gets nutrients from insects
that land on its leaves.
• Venus Fly Trap
17. An example of a plant
adaptation.
• During the winter months there is less
daylight for photosynthesis. Therefore,
some trees enter a state of _______
• , or lower activity until spring.
• Dormancy
17. Example of a plant adaptation:
• C. Cacti have roots that grow near the
surface because it is easier to collect
_________ in their very dry climate.
• Rain water
