Answer 1:
The production of seeds in plants requires
both male and female plants. The male plants
produce pollen which is then carried to a female
plant by birds, bees, insects or wind. The
pollen makes its way inside the female plant,
where it connects with the ovaries and produces
seeds. They are made inside the flowers of
plants that have flowers. Other plants, like
pine trees, make cones instead. Inside each seed
is a tiny plant. Around the tiny plant is a lot
of nutrients, which will feed the tiny plant and
help it grow until it busts out of the seed,
which usually has a hard protective shell. The
shell keeps the tiny plant safe. Some plants
even surround their seeds with fruit! The fruit
attracts animals which get a tasty treat and in
return the seeds get spread around by the
animals. Hopefully they will find rich soil
where they can grow. Seeds donĀ“t have legs like
people do, so they use animals to help them get
around. Some seeds are very light and use the
wind to travel too!
