1) Dicotyledonous Seeds (Dicots): Examples: Beans, sunflowers, roses
2) Monocotyledonous Seeds (Monocots): Examples: Grasses (e.g., wheat, corn), lilies, orchids.
3) Angiosperms Seeds: Examples: Most flowering plants, apples, tomatoes, and roses.
Seeds play a crucial role in the life cycle of plants, as a mean of reproduction and dispersal. Seeds
keep baby plants safe, provide them with food, and help them move to new places. Seeds are
essential for plants to grow and ensure there are more plants of the same kind.
Germination requires water, oxygen, suitable temperature, and sometimes light to activate the
seed's internal processes. The seed absorbs water, the embryo inside develops into a new plant,
breaking through the seed coat. Germination is a crucial step in the life cycle of the plants’ journey
from seed to seedling.
The drawing of the red bean revealed its protective covering, internal structures and the nutrient
reserves.
By drawing and observing the red bean seed, I learnt about the hidden details within the protective
layers as well as insight within the seed which eventually progresses into a flower. The biological
significance associated with the red bean seed is that it exposes crucial insights into plant life
processes, showcasing the adaptive strategies plants employ for reproduction and survival.
