Let’s go step by step through the apple life cycle shown in the diagram.
We start at stage 1:
Seeds — these are the beginning of the cycle. Apple seeds come from inside apples.
Stage 2:
Sprouting seeds — when conditions are right (like water and warmth), the seeds begin to grow tiny roots and shoots.
Stage 3:
Sprout — now we see a small plant with leaves coming out of the ground. It’s still very young.
Stage 4:
Sapling — this is a young tree, bigger than a sprout but not yet mature. It has more leaves and a stronger stem.
Stage 5:
Small tree — the tree keeps growing taller and wider. It’s getting closer to being able to make flowers and fruit.
Stage 6:
Mature tree with flowers — now the tree is fully grown and can bloom. Flowers are needed to make fruit.
Stage 7:
Mature tree with fruits — after the flowers are pollinated, they turn into apples. The tree now bears fruit.
Stage 8:
Fruits with seeds — inside each apple are new seeds. When the apple falls or is eaten, those seeds can start the whole cycle again!
So the correct order of the apple life cycle is:
1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8
That means the numbers should be followed in this sequence to show how an apple grows from seed back to seed.
Final Answer:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
