Explanation:

Question 1

A plant starts its life cycle as a seed, which germinates to grow into a new plant.

Plants require soil (for nutrients and support), sunlight (for photosynthesis), and water (for various physiological processes like photosynthesis, transport) to grow.

All living things need certain essential resources like food (energy source), water (for metabolism), air (for respiration) to stay alive. A common answer here could be "food, water, and air" but if we consider a single key element, "energy" or "basic needs" but more precisely, they need things like food, water, air. However, a concise answer based on basic biology is that all living things must have "food, water, and air" (or a single term like "essential resources"). But for a fill - in - the - blank, a common answer is "water, food, and air" or more simply, if we take a core element, "energy" but the most basic and common answer for this context is "food, water, and air" (but since it's a blank, maybe "basic needs" but more likely "water, food, air" or a single term. Wait, actually, the most fundamental thing all living things need to stay alive is "energy" (obtained from food), "water", and "air". But in the context of plant and general living things, the answer is likely "food, water, and air" or a more specific term. But a very common answer for this type of question is "water, food, and air" or "energy". But let's go with the most basic and common: "food, water, and air" (but if we need a single word, maybe "resources" but no, the blank is likely for a few words. Wait, maybe the answer is "water, food, air" or "essential nutrients". But I think the intended answer is "water, food, and air" or more precisely, "energy (from food), water, air". But to fit the blank, let's say "water, food, air".

Answer:

seed
