What happens after an adult plant makes flowers and seeds?
AThe plant lives forever
BNothing — the plant is finished
CThe seeds can grow into new plants, starting the cycle again
DThe plant turns back into a seed
After the adult plant makes seeds, those seeds can land in soil, germinate, and grow into new plants. The new plants will eventually make their own seeds, continuing the cycle. The plant itself does not turn back into a seed — it produces new seeds that start fresh.
Question 2 True / False
A plant's life cycle is a straight line from seed to death.
TTrue
FFalse
Answer: False
A life cycle is a circle, not a line. The adult plant makes seeds, and those seeds grow into new plants that make more seeds. It keeps going around and around. The cycle repeats across generations.
Question 3 Short Answer
Put these stages in order: adult plant with flowers, seed, sprout, young plant.
Think about your answer, then reveal below.
Model answer: Seed, sprout, young plant, adult plant with flowers — then the adult makes seeds and the cycle starts again.
The life cycle begins with a seed. The seed germinates into a sprout. The sprout grows into a young plant with more leaves and a stronger stem. The young plant matures into an adult that grows flowers, which make new seeds. Then the cycle repeats.
