always been an essential part of the human diet because of the energy they provide. Obtaining oil and fat from plants is a characteristic of many ancient cultures. There is evidence of the cultivation of plants that produce vegetable oils such as poppy seed‚ rapeseed and linen even in the Stone Age. The first oil presses were found on Crete from 3500 B.C. and Chinese sources from 2800 B.C. show that soy and hemp plants were used to produce oils. As vegetable oils and fats were goods in very short

and reproduction? These adaptations help them grow and reproduce. The female cone which is larger in size than the male cones has hard protective bracts that cover the developing seeds. The female cones found near the center of the pine tree while the male cones are located near the tips of the branches. When the seeds mature‚ they grow a single “wing” that lets them to spin as they slowly fall from the female cone. Male Cones ready to cast pollen Female cones receptive for pollination

was observing a little group of 6 pupils. The learning activity was the pupils planting some seeds in plant pots and then drawing a plant and labelling it. During the lesson a had to communicate with the other teaching assistant to explain which seeds were in which pots and when I needed the water for the plants. She needed to know this because she was labelling the plant pots with the name of what seed was inside. We did this because plants need different types of care so she also wrote what care

Both have soft‚ white‚ milky‚ sweet pulp surrounding the 6 to 11 gelatinous‚ somewhat rubbery‚ seed cells in the center which‚ when cut through transversely‚ are seen to radiate from the central core like an asterisk or many-pointed star‚ giving the fruit its common English name. The fruit may have up to 10 flattened‚ nearly oval‚ pointed‚ hard seeds‚ 3/4 in (2 cm.) long‚ nearly 1/2 in (1.25 cm) wide‚ and up to 1/4 in (6 mm) thick‚ but usually several of the cells are not

Plants need the insects to carry the pollen to seeds. Since the neighbor sprayed insecticide because the Japanese beetles attacked their rose garden‚ there are no insects there to carry the pollen. Fruits won’t form unless the flowers are pollinated. Insects are considered pollinators for plants‚ without them the pollen would not go around. Pollination is needed to produce new seeds and create a wide variety of plants. 4. Table 16.7 Uses of Seeds Plants: Angiosperms and Gymnosperms Uses of

sporangium. Nature had to evolve protection for the gametophytes‚ and it came up with an embryo inside the ovary‚ carpel‚ or pistil. The seed also evolved a hardened protective covering to aid in reproduction. Seed became carried in fruits‚ which were eaten by animals that dispersed the seeds and aided in reproduction. In addition‚ seed dormancy allows the seed to remain latent for extended periods of time. Lastly‚ the evolution of internal fertilization using the pollen tube and endosperm helped
