Vascular non-vascular plants

2. What group does this liverwort belong to?

Explanation

Liverworts belong to the group of non-vascular land plants known as bryophytes, which also include mosses and hornworts. Angiosperms, gymnosperms, and ferns are all different groups of vascular plants with distinct characteristics.

Submit
3. What are these mosses?

Explanation

Bryophytes are a group of non-vascular plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They are small, herbaceous plants that typically grow in moist environments and lack true roots, stems, and leaves.

Submit
4. What category does this moss belong to?

Explanation

Bryophytes are a group of non-vascular plants, which includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They are small plants that typically grow in moist environments and lack true roots, stems, and leaves.

Submit
5. During which period in geologic history did vascular plants dominant the landscape?

Explanation

The Carboniferous Period, also known as the Coal Age, was characterized by a lush landscape dominated by vascular plants which eventually formed coal deposits due to their abundance. The other periods mentioned did not have the same level of dominance by vascular plants.

Submit
6. What does it mean to be herbaceous?

Explanation

Being herbaceous means that the plant will never develop wood, as opposed to woody plants that do develop wood as part of their structure.

Submit
7. What is the scientific classification of club moss?

Explanation

Club mosses belong to the division Lycophyta within the plant kingdom. They are seedless vascular plants, which sets them apart from angiosperms (flowering plants), bryophytes (mosses), and pteridophytes (ferns).

Submit
8. What is the classification of club moss in the plant kingdom?

Explanation

Club moss belongs to the group of seedless vascular plants known as Lycophyta. It is not classified as an angiosperm, gymnosperm, or bryophyte.

Submit
9. What is this club moss?

Explanation

Club mosses belong to the division Lycophyta, which are considered seedless vascular plants. Their scientific name is Lycopodium, with Lycopodium clavatum being one of the common species, also known as ground pine or common club moss.

Submit
10. What is the name of this plant?

Explanation

The correct answer is Seedless Vascular Pterophyta Horsetail, which is a type of plant that belongs to the Pteridophyta division. The other options such as Orchid, Cactus, and Sunflower are not examples of seedless vascular plants like the Horsetail.

Submit
11. What is this a picture of?

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Fern with sori.' Sori are clusters of spore-forming structures found on the underside of fern leaves.

Submit
12. What is a sori?

Explanation

A sori is a cluster of sporangia (structures producing and containing spores) found on the underside of a fern leaf where spores are released for reproduction.

Submit
13. What type of plant does not produce seeds?

Explanation

Seedless Vascular plants, also known as Pterophyta, reproduce and propagate through spores rather than seeds. Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are seed-producing plants, while Bryophytes are non-vascular plants that also do not produce seeds.

Submit
14. What type of plant is a Ginko?

Explanation

Ginko is classified as a gymnosperm, specifically belonging to Ginkophyta. Gymnosperms are plants that produce seeds without enclosed chambers, unlike angiosperms which have seeds enclosed within ovaries. Ferns belong to the category of pteridophytes, while mosses are classified as bryophytes.

Submit
15. What are some examples of a pome fruit?

Explanation

Pome fruits are fruits that have a core of several small seeds, surrounded by a tough membrane. Examples of pome fruits include pear and apple, while banana, orange, and watermelon are not classified as pome fruits.

Submit
16. Which of the following are examples of a hesperidium fruit?

Explanation

Hesperidium fruits are a type of berry with a tough outer rind that is typically divided into segments filled with juicy pulp. Common examples include citrus fruits like lemons and oranges.

Submit
17. What are some examples of pepo fruit?

Explanation

Pepo fruit is a type of berry with a hard rind or skin. Cucumber, squash, and watermelon are all examples of pepo fruit due to their characteristic hard outer layer.

Submit
18. What are examples of a drupe fruit?

Explanation

Drupe fruits are characterized by having a fleshy outer layer surrounding a hard pit or stone containing the seed. Nectarine and peach are examples of drupe fruits, while apple, banana, and strawberry belong to other fruit categories.

Submit
19. What is the difference between fertilization and pollination?

Explanation

Pollination is the transfer of pollen to a stigma, while fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes.

Submit
20. What are the four phylums of gymnosperms?

Explanation

Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants with exposed seeds, and the four phylums mentioned in the answer are specific to gymnosperms. The incorrect answers belong to other plant groups such as flowering plants (Anthophyta), non-vascular plants (Bryophyta), and ferns (Pteridophyta), which are not gymnosperms.
