- Flower Structure Pollination Fruit Development Seed Dispersal
Germination Test
- Slide 5
- After fertilisation the petals, stamen and sepals fall off. The
ovule turns into a seed, the fertilised egg inside develops into an
embryo plant. Testa: tough seed coat Micropyle: Hole made by pollen
tube Embryo plant Cotyledon: Food store (contain starch and protein
and also enzymes) Plumule: Embryo shoot Radicle: Embryo root Flower
Structure Pollination Fruit Development Seed Dispersal Germination
Test
- Slide 6
- Seeds can be dispersed by: Wind Water Mechanical Animals
- Slide 7
- Slide 8
- Water enters the seed through the micropyle and activates
enzymes. The water also softens the testa to allow it to split.
Flower Structure Pollination Fruit Development Seed Dispersal
Germination Test Plumule (embryo shoot) Radicle (embryo root)
Micropyle Testa Cotyledon
- Slide 9
- starch embryo plant amylase secreted maltose absorbed The
enzymes break starch down into maltose and then glucose. The
glucose is used in respiration to provide energy for growth Plumule
Radicle This is the first part to grow out of the seed as it needs
to absorb more water Flower Structure Pollination Fruit Development
Seed Dispersal Germination Test
- Slide 10
- Seed loses weight as it uses up starch stores in the cotyledons
as the seedling cannot photosynthesise yet Days Dry mass/g Dry mass
is the mass of solid matter with all water removed Weight increases
as the seedling can photosynthesise and plant grows
- Slide 11
- light soil germination Plant growth and development The
seedling can now photosynthesise and make its own food

No oxygen No light Pyrogallol (absorbs oxygen)
