LIFE CYCLE  Every organism goes through a life cycle.  A life cycle consists of: the beginning of life growth and development reproduction death

It All Begins Here  For 80% of all plants, the beginning of life is the seed.  If all of the needs of the seed are met, it will begin to grow and develop.  It continues until it is an adult plant.  Think of human growth and development: Newborn baby >>> Toddler >>> Child >>> Teenager >>> Adult

The Life Cycle Never Ends  Reproduction starts the cycle again by making offspring.  Offspring resemble their parents. For example a red rose will produce seeds for another red rose.  Death can happen at anytime.

All Plants Have Life Cycles…  but they begin in different ways.  Not all plants begin their life cycles as seeds.  Not all plants reproduce by making seeds.

Non-seed Reproduction  Spore- the cells in a seedless plant that can grow into new organisms, such as a fern plant.  Plants that reproduce by spores reproduce quickly. moss on a rock spores growing from a fern plant
