ACHIEVEMENT STANDARDS Year 8: Plan and conduct safe, Year 9: Plan and conduct safe, reproducible Year 10: Plan and conduct safe, valid and reproducible investigations to test investigations to test or identify reproducible investigations to test relationships and explore models. relationships and models. relationships or develop explanatory models. PLANT REPRODUCTION Activity Example answer Question 1a Question 1b Pollen is transferred from stamen to stigma Stem forms horizontally underground, new leaf growth shoots up as a clone plant. Continues PLANT REPRODUCTION Activity Example answer Question 2a Question 2c If a plant A only has sexual reproductive structures, then reproduction will only occur in the presence of pollinators. If plant B only reproduces asexually, then pollinators would not affect its Question 2b reproduction rate. The hypothesis would be supported if Plant A produces offspring when there are pollinators, but does not produce offspring when there were none. If Plant B produced offspring without the presence or absence of pollinators, this would further support the hypothesis. PLANT REPRODUCTION Check for understanding Question 1 Asexual reproduction produces clones of the parent through A only runners.

B relying on wind and water. C moving pollen through the stigma. D specialised structures such as bulbs. There are many types of asexual reproduction, each utilising different structures such as runners, spores, and tubers. PLANT REPRODUCTION Check for understanding Question 2 The likely function of flowers on sexually reproducing plants is Floridafan/Shutterstock.com A to protect the pollen from falling off. B to encourage pollinators to visit the plant. C to warn passing animals to avoid the plant. D to nourish the developing seed after fertilisation. PLANT REPRODUCTION Check for understanding Question 2 – answer The likely function of flowers on sexually reproducing Flowers are plants is often brightly coloured and/or scented, attracting pollinators such as Floridafan/Shutterstock.com insects and birds to come to the A to protect the pollen from falling off. plant and B to encourage pollinators to visit the plant. dislodge the pollen. C to warn passing animals to avoid the plant. D to nourish the developing seed after fertilisation.  What do we know? How do chocolate trees make more chocolate trees? Kehinde Olufemi Akinbo/Shutterstock.com  What do we know? How do chocolate trees make more chocolate trees? Chocolate is made from the seeds of the cacao tree. New trees can be made through sexual reproduction: fertilising a zygote, which becomes a seed, and eventually (if we don’t eat it), another tree. Humans can also use cuttings of the cacao tree to grow more cacao.
