Life Cycle of a Non-Flowering Plant

Differences between Flowering and Nonflowering Plants Seeds form in the flowers Produce eggs called ovules and pollen Fertilized egg becomes a seed Fruit grows from the seed Non Flowering Plants Make seeds in Cones Seeds drop on ground and germinate New Plant grows

Vocabulary Flowering: a plant that produces a flower Living: anything that needs nourishment, reproduces and dies Non Flowering: any plant that does not produce flowers (examples, pine trees, daisies, ferns) Seed bearing: plants that produce seeds (all flowering plants and gymnosperms) Reproduces: to make more living things of the same kind. Seed: contains a tiny new plant. Embryo: tiny new plant in the seed. Germinates/Sprout: when a new plant starts growing from a seed (this is when the life cycle begins.) Flower: a part of the plant where seed forms Cone: Found in pine trees and other nonflowering plants where the the seeds are (there are male cones with pollen and female cones with eggs)
