I'll work through this step by step to solve both sections of the worksheet.
Section 03: COMPLETE WITH THE CORRECT WORD
Let me analyze each blank:
1. "______ is when pollen from the stamen is transferred into the stigma."
- This describes the process of moving pollen from male to female parts
- Answer:
Pollination
2. "The ______ are the male reproductive organs."
- In flowers, the male reproductive organs produce pollen
- Answer:
stamens
3. "______ protect the flower before it opens."
- These are the outer protective parts of a flower bud
- Answer:
Sepals
4. "______ can be a variety of colours."
- The colorful parts that attract pollinators
- Answer:
Petals
5. "When the ______ joins the ovules in the ovary, fertilisation occurs."
- This is what happens after pollination - the pollen grain grows and sends down sperm cells
- Answer:
pollen tube (or just "pollen")
Section 04: LOOK, READ AND PUT IN ORDER
Looking at the diagram and descriptions, I need to match the numbered stages (1-6 on the right) with the correct sequence:
The life cycle should go:
1. Pollination (pollen goes into stigma)
2. Fertilization and seed development
3. Fruit formation
4. Seed release
5. Germination
6. Growth and flowering
Matching the descriptions to the images:
- Image showing pollen entering flower = Stage 1
- Image showing fertilization/seed development = Stage 2
- Image showing fruit formation = Stage 3
- Image showing fruit releasing seeds = Stage 4
- Image showing seed germinating = Stage 5
- Image showing mature plant with flowers = Stage 6
So the order is:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Wait, let me look more carefully at the diagram. The images already have numbers 1-6 on them (in green circles), and there's a separate column with numbers 1-6 in green boxes on the right side that need to be matched.
Actually, looking at the flow arrows in the diagram, it shows the natural progression. The task asks to put the descriptions in order matching the numbered stages shown in the images.
The correct sequence based on the angiosperm life cycle:
1. Pollen goes into the stigma down to the ovary
2. A seed develops inside the ovary
3. The ovary then grows into a fruit with seeds
4. The fruit falls, opens and releases the seeds
5. The seeds can germinate and new plants grow
6. The new plant produces flowers
Final Answer:
Section 03:
1. Pollination
2. stamens
3. Sepals
4. Petals
5. pollen tube (or pollen)
Section 04:
The correct order is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
