A student cut a section of a root and made an outline drawing of the distribution of tissues as shown in the figure
(i) Identify the position of the xylem tissue by saying the position (centre, outer layer, mid-layer)
(ii) State the function of xylem
4.
The function of the root is
Correct Answer(s)
A. Absorb water and nutrients from the soil
A. Support the plant in an upright position
A. Distribute the food energy produced in the leaves to the rapidlygrowing areas found at the root tips.
Explanation
The function of the root is to absorb water and nutrients from the soil, support the plant in an upright position, and distribute the food energy produced in the leaves to the rapidly growing areas found at the root tips.
5.
The stem is important because
Correct Answer
A. Hold a plant’s leaves up toward the sun
Explanation
The stem is important because it holds a plant's leaves up toward the sun. The stem provides structural support to the plant, allowing it to maintain an upright position and position its leaves in a way that maximizes exposure to sunlight. Sunlight is crucial for photosynthesis, the process by which plants manufacture food reserves. Therefore, the stem plays a vital role in ensuring that the plant receives an adequate amount of sunlight for its survival and growth.

The reproductive organs of the plants are divided into two:
________ and ________. The ________ is the male part of the flower, while the ________ is the female part of the flower.
Correct Answer
the stamen, stamen
the pistil, pistil
stamen
pistil
Explanation
The reproductive organs of the plants are divided into two: the stamen and the pistil. The stamen is the male part of the flower, while the pistil is the female part of the flower.
8.
The ovary will turn into the fruit
Explanation
After pollination and fertilization, the ovary of a flower undergoes a process called fruit development. The ovary wall thickens and matures, eventually turning into a fruit. The fruit protects the developing seeds and aids in their dispersal. Therefore, the statement "The ovary will turn into the fruit" is true.
9.
There are 6 kingdoms of life:
1. ________
2. ________
3. ________
4. ________
5. Eubacteria
6. Archaeobacteria
Correct Answer
animalia, animals, plantae, plants, fungi, protista
animalia, animals, plantae, plants, fungi, Protista
animalia, animals, plantae, plants, fungi, protista
animalia, animals, plantae, plants, fungi, protista
Explanation
The correct answer is animalia, animals, plantae, plants, fungi, protista. These are the six kingdoms of life. The first two blanks are filled with animalia and animals, which refer to the kingdom of animals. The next two blanks are filled with plantae and plants, which refer to the kingdom of plants. The fifth blank is filled with fungi, which refers to the kingdom of fungi. The last blank is filled with protista, which refers to the kingdom of protists.
10.
The cell type of Archaeobacteria is
Correct Answer
A. Prokaryotic
Explanation
Archaeobacteria are a type of bacteria that belong to the domain Archaea. They are characterized by their prokaryotic cell structure, which means they lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller and simpler in structure compared to eukaryotic cells, which have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Therefore, the correct answer is "Prokaryotic."
11.
The Eubacteria kingdom is known to be false bacteria
Explanation
The statement is false because the Eubacteria kingdom is not known to be false bacteria. Eubacteria is a legitimate kingdom within the classification of bacteria. It consists of prokaryotic organisms that are single-celled and have a cell wall containing peptidoglycan. Eubacteria are found in various habitats and play important roles in ecological processes.
12.
2 examples of protists are
Correct Answer(s)
A. Amoeba
A. Green algae
Explanation
The question asks for two examples of protists, which are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms. Amoeba is a well-known example of a protist, belonging to the phylum Amoebozoa. It is a single-celled organism that moves by using pseudopods. Green algae, on the other hand, are photosynthetic protists that can be found in various aquatic environments. They are responsible for producing a significant amount of oxygen on Earth and are considered important primary producers in aquatic food chains.
13.
There are three (3) domains in life, those are
1.________
2. ________
3. ________
Correct Answer(s)
eukarya, bacteria, archaea
eukarya, bacteria, archaea
eukarya, bacteria, archaea
Explanation
The correct answer is eukarya, bacteria, archaea. This answer is correct because it correctly identifies the three domains of life: eukarya, bacteria, and archaea. These domains are used to classify and categorize all living organisms based on their cellular structure and genetic makeup. The domain eukarya includes all organisms with eukaryotic cells, such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists. The domain bacteria includes all organisms with prokaryotic cells, which are typically single-celled and lack a nucleus. The domain archaea also includes prokaryotic organisms, but they have distinct genetic and biochemical characteristics that set them apart from bacteria.

Correct Answer(s)
skull
vertebrae
head
knee joint
Explanation
The bones in the skull protect the brain, while the neck contains bones called vertebrae, which support your head. In the lower body, we can find the knee joint that contains three bones, the thigh bone, the shinbone, and the knee cap.

The femur is the longest bone in the human body, this bone is found in
Explanation
The femur is indeed the longest bone in the human body, and it is found in the legs. The femur is the thigh bone that connects the hip bone to the knee joint. It is responsible for supporting the weight of the body and facilitating movement in the legs.
