The Story of the Seed

1) So far, our plant seems to be growing. This isn't without help from different processes within the plant, and it takes a lot of energy to keep the plant consistently growing. Where does the plant get all of it's energy? The plants get all of this energy from photosynthesis , which is a process that carbon dioxide and sunlight to create energy. In order to collect sunlight, the leaves of a plant contain mesophyl cells that have chloroplasts. This is the main area of photosynthesis occurs, and absorbs the light energy from the sun (or sometimes artificial lighting). This energy is stored as ATP, which helps change carbon dioxide into glucose. This glucose is used to help feed the plant. The plant then needs to get the energy ,or ATP, from the glucose that the plants had created in photosynthesis. This is done in a process called cellular respiration . Cellular respiration begins with glucose being broken down in the cytoplasm of a cell. Then, the pyruvate molecules are trans

        So fertilization for Brassica plants starts when the spring comes and the plants begin to atrract pollenaters like bees and other types of insects and animals to spread their pollen to other flowers and the pollen comes from the anthers of the flower. Then when the pollen from one Brassica flower hits the stigma of the same species then the sperm of the pollen enters the ovary and begins the process of fertilization. After that they begin to produce Brassica seeds and the process starts from the beginning again. In the picture to the left it shows the stigma of the Brassica flower and the stigma is sticky so when pollenaters like bees land on the flower the pollen on the bee gets caught on the stigma and fertilization begins. The picture shows the Anther which produces the pollen of the flower or sperm and this is pollenaters ca take the pollen and pass it onto another Brassica flower.
