U4: Life Cycle of Flowering Plants

5 Excellence!



Below are the key learning points for this chapter. You must be able to:
  • Name the male and female parts of a flower
  • Explain the function / work of that flower part
  • Describe the process of pollination
  • Give examples on how pollination can take place
  • Explain the meaning and describe the process of fertilisation
  • Describe and explain the consequences of overcrowding
  • Name the 4 main methods of dispersal of fruits and seeds
  • Give at least 2 examples of plants that are dispersed in any method
  • Name the parts of a seed
  • Explain germination
  • Describe the conditions for germination to take place
Please do not be confused between pollination and fertilisation!! Pollination refers to the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower. Fertilisation refers to the fusing of the male cell and the female egg cell.
