Plant Reproduction - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Fertilisation
        
        The process where a male reproductive cell fuses with a female reproductive cell
        
        Formation of Fruit and Seeds
        
        Ovules in the Ovary develop into seeds
        
        Ovary enlarges and eventually becomes the fruit
      - Seed Dispersal
        
        To prevent overcrowding and competition for light, water, nutrients and space
        
        Seeds can grow in a new and more favourable place
        
        Methods of Dispersal
        
        Animal
        
        Juicy, fragrant, sweet or brightly coloured fruit
        
        Hard seeds, have hooks or stiff hair
        
        Examples
        
        Mango
        
        Papaya
        
        Love Grass
        
        Mimosa
        
        Wind
        
        Dry, light, small, have wing-like or parachute-like structures
        
        Easily carried away by the wind
        
        Examples
        
        Angsana
        
        Lalang
        
        Shorea
        
        Tridax
        
        Water
        
        Have waterproof outer layer or fibrous husks
        
        Help stay afloat in water
        
        Examples
        
        Lotus
        
        Pong Pong
        
        Coconut
        
        Mangrove
        
        Explosive Action
        
        Fruit walls that split open with a sudden force
        
        Shoots the seeds out in different directions
        
        Examples
        
        Bean
        
        Rubber
        
        Balsam
        
        Saga
      - Pollination
        
        Insect Pollination
        
        Pollen grains from the anthers stick to the hairy body of the insect
        
        Pollen grains are brushed off the insect onto the stigma of the same flower or another flower
        
        Wind Pollination
        
        Pollen grains are carried by the wind
        
        Land onto the stigma of another flower of the same kind
        
        Filaments sway in the slightest wind
        
        Pollen grains fall off the anthers and float in the air
      - Germination
        
        Happens when a seed gets air (oxygen), water and warmth
        
        Seed does not need light
        
        Growth of a Seed
        
        Root appears first
        
        Seed uses food stored in seed leaves
        
        Shoot appears after the root
        
        Once first leaves are formed, the young plant can carry out photosynthesis to make its own food
