Menstrual Cycle

A monthly cycle in females, where a mature egg is released. It's a sign of the ability to get pregnant.

Pollination

The transfer of pollen from the male part (anther) to the female part (stigma) of a flower, enabling fertilization.

Sexual Reproduction

The process where sperm and egg cells combine to create a new organism.

Ovulation

The release of a mature egg during the menstrual cycle. This usually happens mid-cycle.

Study Notes

Menstrual Cycle

  • The mature egg release is called Phase II
  • Menstruation is a monthly cycle
  • Ovaries are oblong and on the sides of the uterus
  • The vagina is the birth canal
  • Reproductive organs should be washed daily with mild soap and water
  • Ovulation happens around day 14 of a 28-day cycle

Reproduction

  • Sexual Reproduction: Involves sperm and egg cells from parents
  • Pollination: Transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma
  • Cross-Pollination: Pollen from one flower to another of the same type
  • Self-Pollination: Pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower
  • Flowering Plants: Have stamens (male) and stigmas (female)
  • Ovary: Contains developing seeds and becomes larger
  • Stigma: Catches and holds pollen grains
  • Stamen: Male part of a flower

Animal Life Cycles

  • Frogs: egg → tadpole → tadpole with legs → froglet → adult frog
  • Mosquitoes: egg → larva → pupa → adult
  • Butterflies: lifecycle stages
  • Cats: reproductive system includes testicles, vas deferens, and penis

Artificial Vegetative Reproduction

  • Methods used to improve plant quality and production
  • Stems sprout to grow into new plants

Asexual Reproduction

  • New plants grown from plant parts, without sex cells

Plant Adaptations

  • Some plants survive in fresh water, others in salt water
  • Marine plants make their own food through photosynthesis
  • Ecosystems are made by the interactions of communities and their environments
  • Mangrove roots provide habitat for plants and animals
