The Plant Life Cycle

There are many members of the plant kingdom, comprising about 260,000 known species of mosses, liverworts, ferns, herbaceous and woody plants, bushes, vines, trees, and various other forms that mantle the earth and are also found in its waters. They range in size and complexity from small, nonvascular mosses, which depend on direct contact with surface water, to giant sequoia trees, the largest living organisms, which can draw water and minerals through their vascular systems. (Raven) In this paper I just want to outline the major stages of a plant’s life cycle. When you plant a seed in the ground, if the soil, water, and temperature are the right combination, a plant starts to grow. The roots grow down and leaves grow up. When the plant is big enough it makes flowers. Flowers help the plant reproduce. When the plant is big enough it makes flowers. Flowers help the plant reproduce by making pollen. The wind blows the pollen or a bee (pollinator) lands on the flower and carries the male pollen to the female part of the flower, called the ovule." Ovule" means "little e


In conclusion, flowers and their pollinators coevolved to influence each other’s life cycles. Related plants interbreed, and provide pollinators with enough pollen and nectar to live on so they too can reproduce. This co evolution process has resulted in synchronization of floral and insect life cycles which seem to be never ending. Sometimes flowering occurs the week that insect pollinators hatch or emerge from dormancy, or bird pollinators return from winter migration, so that they feed on and pollinate the flowers.

gg." When the male pollen reaches the ovule it has been fertilized and will grow until it becomes a seed. When you plant this seed in the ground the seeds sprouts, and a new plant grows and makes new seeds, and the plant's life cycle goes on.

The often delightful and varied fragrances of flowers also reveal the hand of coevolution. In some cases, insects detect fragrance before color. They follow faint aromas to flowers that are too far away to be seen, recognizing petal shape and color only when they are very close to the flower. Some night-blooming flowers emit sweet fragra
