For our project, I interviewed my friend Kevin West (he's very handsome). He talked about his experiences that he went through while working on his Story of the Seed and all the thoughts that he had on the project. I first asked him what he had learned about while working on The Story of the Seed. Kevin learned about the biochemical cycles and how they applied to the plant in the garden. He then when on to say that he started to understand all the materials needed to keep a plant healthy and grow sufficiently. Then, I asked about the most surprising or amazing things he encountered. It amazed Kevin at which the speed their plant grew, he had expected his plant to take a very long time to grow but instead his plant grew somewhat fast. It also surprised him how much time and effort went into growing a plant. The next thing I asked Kevin was about the funniest things he saw, and while there wasn't a lot that he found funny he still had some cool moments. Kevin's teammates and his experience working on this project brought him a lot of joy and caused him to laugh a little. The final question I asked Kevin was about the the most interesting thing to him that made him think deeper about a certain topic. The chemical compounds and the compounds of the necessary materials were really interesting and caused Kevin to want to understand these interesting processes more.
Fertilization occurs in flowering plants through the process of fertilization. The center of the flower has long thin filaments with anthers at the top. This is called the stamen. Four pollen sacks are located in the plants anthers which contain MMCs, Micro Mother Cells. Each of the pollen sacks produces eight pollen grains, the sperm cells from the MMC. Once the pollen grains inside each of the sacks are ready the anthers will burst open vomiting the sticky pollen onto the flowers stamen in a process called dehiscence. The flowers bright colorful pedals lure insects inside to drink its nectar, located at the flowers base. Once the insects climb into the flower the sticky pollen from the anthers gets stuck on its feet, legs, or body. In the process of cross pollination the insect that collects this sticky pollen will transfer it to another flower pollinating it in the process. In the process of self pollination the pollen will be moved from the stamen to the pistol/carpal of the flowe...
