The major stages of the plant life cycle are as follows:

Seed Stage-The plant life cycle starts with a seed; every seed holds a miniature plant called the embryo.

Germination-When a seed falls on the ground, it needs warmth and water in order to germinate; some seeds also need light.

Growth-In order to complete the flower life cycle stage of growth, plants have to produce their own food. This process is called photosynthesis. As soon as the leaves emerge, they start the process of photosynthesis.

Reproduction-Inside the bud, a tiny but complete flower forms. The sepals protect the bud before it opens.

Pollination-insects, birds, animals, wind, water, or other pollinators to carry pollen from the male flowers or male parts to the female flowers or female parts.

Spreading of seeds- Seed spreading, or dispersal, is the final stage of the flower life cycle..

The life cycle of animal consist of:

Egg- Frogs lay their eggs in water or wet places. 

Tadpole- After its 21 day development period, the embryo leaves its jelly shell, and attaches itself to a weed in the water. This quickly becomes a tadpole, a baby frog. 

Metamorph- Over time, the tadpole becomes even more froglike.  They have shed their skin and lips. Its mouth widens, and it loses its horny jaws. The tail becomes much smaller, and the legs grow. The lungs are almost functioning at this point.

Frog- Eleven weeks after the egg was laid, a fully developed frog with lungs, legs, and no tail emerges from the water.
