What are the 5 development stages for a plant?
The major stages of the flower life cycle are the seed, germination, growth, reproduction, pollination, and seed spreading stages.
What are the things to consider when planning to do a gardening activity?
Planning a Garden
- Choose a place where the soil is loose, rich, level, and well-drained.
- Do not choose low areas where water stands or the soil stays wet.
- Do not plant where weeds do not grow; vegetables will not grow well there either.
- Vegetables need sunlight to grow well.
What does a plant use for growth and activities?
Plants use a process called photosynthesis to turn sunlight into food in their leaves. They can then use this food to grow. To help them do this, they also need water and nutrients that they take from the soil with their roots, and carbon dioxide that they absorb from the air.
How important is planning in gardening?
A well-planned garden is easier to care for. It saves time in the garden and is more productive than an unplanned garden. Start planning your garden well in advance so you will be ready to get to work when planting time arrives. If the soil was not tilled in the fall, that must be done early in the spring.
Is gardening physical activity or exercise?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gardening qualifies as exercise. In fact, getting out in the yard for just 30-45 minutes can burn up to 300 calories.
How do you plan a landscaping plant?
There are two basic rules when arranging plants in the beds: 1) space the individual plants so that they touch each other when they reach their mature size, and 2) overlap the masses of plants and connect them so that they flow without space between them. Avoid gaps or large open areas between masses.
How is the primary growth of a plant controlled?
Primary growth is controlled by root apical meristems or shoot apical meristems, while secondary growth is controlled by the two lateral meristems, called the vascular cambium and the cork cambium. Not all plants exhibit secondary growth. The video below provides a nice discussion of primary and secondary growth in plants (beginning at 2:20):
How does the environment affect the growth of plants?
Information Many things in nature help to regulate plant growth: sunlight, proper temperature, moisture, air, and nutrients. These are referred to as environmental factors. Each part of a natural or artificial environment affects the survival and quality of a plants life.
When does secondary growth occur in a woody plant?
In woody plants, primary growth is followed by secondary growth, which allows the plant stem to increase in thickness or girth. Secondary vascular tissue is added as the plant grows, as well as a cork layer.
What are the steps in the fertilization of a flower?
Steps of Flower Fertilization. 1 Pollen lands on stigma. This is called _____________. 2 Pollen tube grows down the style of the pistil and into the ovary. 3 Pollen + ovules fertilization. 4 Fertilized ovules seed(s) 5 Ovary containing seeds swells and ripens into a fruit.
