1. Native plants are important to an ecosystem because they

Explanation

Native plants are important to an ecosystem because they are best adapted to the environment in which they evolved. This means that they have developed specific traits and characteristics that allow them to thrive in their particular habitat. Additionally, native plants are best suited to share an ecosystem with other plants and animals that evolved with them. They have established complex relationships and dependencies with other species, such as pollinators and herbivores. By providing food, shelter, and other resources, native plants help to ensure the health and well-being of other plants and animals that have come to depend on them for survival. Therefore, all of these reasons make native plants crucial for maintaining a balanced and functioning ecosystem.

3. Vascular plants transport water through structures called

Explanation

Vascular plants transport water through structures called xylem. Xylem is a specialized tissue that consists of interconnected tubes, allowing for the movement of water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. This transportation system is crucial for supplying water to all parts of the plant, including the leaves, where it is used for photosynthesis and other metabolic processes. Phloem, on the other hand, is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant. Cotyledons are embryonic leaves found in the seed, and stolon is a type of stem that grows horizontally above the ground.

20. Do all plants have flowers?

Explanation

The correct answer is "No, flowers are the reproductive organs for angiosperms." This answer is correct because not all plants have flowers. Flowers are the reproductive organs specifically for angiosperms, which are a group of plants that produce seeds enclosed in a protective structure (fruit). Other groups of plants, such as gymnosperms, do not have flowers but instead have different reproductive structures like cones. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that all plants have flowers.

Submit
21. Guard cells

Explanation

Guard cells help to regulate water loss by controlling the size of the stomata in leaves. Stomata are small openings in the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange, but they can also lead to excessive water loss through transpiration. Guard cells surround the stomata and can change shape to open or close the stomatal pore. By opening the stomata, guard cells allow for the exchange of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, but also increase water loss. By closing the stomata, guard cells reduce water loss, helping to regulate the plant's water balance.

Submit
22. Fibrous roots

Explanation

Fibrous roots can help to control erosion because they form a dense network of roots that spread out in all directions, effectively holding the soil together. This prevents soil erosion by reducing the impact of wind and water on the soil surface. Additionally, the fibrous roots also absorb water from the soil, further stabilizing the soil and preventing erosion.

Submit
23. This is a typical leaf from a

Explanation

The given leaf is a typical example of a monocot plant. Monocots are characterized by having leaves with parallel veins, while dicots have leaves with branching veins. Bryophytes are nonvascular plants, which means they do not have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. Therefore, the leaf cannot be from a bryophyte.

Submit
24. Which of the following is NOT true about plants?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
25. All plants that reproduce with seeds are 

Explanation

Vascular plants are the correct answer because they are the only group of plants that reproduce with seeds. Vascular plants have specialized tissues called xylem and phloem that transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. This allows them to grow larger and more complex compared to nonvascular plants like bryophytes, which lack these tissues and are generally smaller in size. Dicots, on the other hand, are a type of flowering plant that have two seed leaves, but not all plants that reproduce with seeds are dicots. Therefore, the correct answer is vascular plants.

Submit
26. Which of the following are adapted to help a plant propagate (create a new plant)?

Explanation

Adventitious roots and stolons are adapted to help a plant propagate. Adventitious roots are roots that form from any part of the plant other than the primary root, and they can help the plant establish new individuals by taking root in the soil. Stolons, also known as runners, are horizontal stems that grow along the ground and produce new plants at nodes, allowing for vegetative reproduction. Therefore, both adventitious roots and stolons are mechanisms that plants use to create new plants and ensure their propagation.

Submit
27. Gymnosperms

Explanation

Gymnosperms are a group of plants that have naked seeds, meaning their seeds are not enclosed in a fruit. They reproduce through wind pollination, which means their pollen is carried by the wind to reach the female cones. Therefore, the correct answer is that gymnosperms exhibit all of these characteristics: they are seed plants, have naked seeds in cones, and are usually wind pollinated.

Submit
28. Looking at this moss, check all of the terms below that best describe what you know about it.

Explanation

The moss described in the question is a plant because it belongs to the plant kingdom. It is nonvascular, meaning it lacks specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. It is a bryophyte, which is a group of nonvascular plants that includes mosses. It is also a seedless plant because it does not reproduce through seeds but rather through spores.

Submit
29. This is a picture of

Explanation

The correct answer is a stoma. A stoma is a small opening found on the surface of leaves and stems of plants. It is surrounded by specialized cells called guard cells, which regulate the opening and closing of the stoma. Stomata play a crucial role in the exchange of gases, allowing carbon dioxide to enter the plant for photosynthesis and releasing oxygen and water vapor. They also help in the regulation of water loss through transpiration.

Submit
30. Why did the stomata from our geranium plant close when we placed them in salt water?

Explanation

When the geranium plant was placed in salt water, the concentration of salt outside the cells was higher than inside the cells. This caused water to move out of the cells through osmosis, resulting in the cells losing water and becoming limp. The guard cells, which control the opening and closing of stomata, also lost water and became limp, causing them to close. This closure helps the leaf to conserve water by reducing the loss of water vapor through transpiration.

Submit
31. Looking at this picture, check each term below that can be used to describe the type of plant.  

Explanation

The given picture shows a plant, which is a living organism that belongs to the kingdom Plantae. It also exhibits vascular tissue, which is responsible for the transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. The presence of seeds indicates that it is a seed plant, as seeds are reproductive structures that allow for the dispersal and germination of offspring. Additionally, the presence of flowers suggests that it is an angiosperm, which is a type of seed plant that produces flowers and fruits. Lastly, the presence of two cotyledons in the seedling indicates that it is a dicot, which is a type of angiosperm that typically has two embryonic leaves.

Submit
32. A complete flower

Explanation

A complete flower is one that contains both a pistil and stamen. The pistil is the female reproductive organ, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary, while the stamen is the male reproductive organ, consisting of the anther and filament. The presence of both of these organs indicates that the flower is capable of both producing and receiving pollen, allowing for sexual reproduction.

Submit
33. Check as many terms from the list below that are more common among dicots than monocots.

Explanation

Dicots are characterized by having flowers with petals in multiples of 4 or 5, tap roots, woody stems, seeds with 2 cotyledons, and leaves with branching veins. These characteristics are more common among dicots than monocots. Monocots, on the other hand, typically have flowers with petals in multiples of 3, fibrous roots, herbaceous stems, seeds with 1 cotyledon, and leaves with parallel veins.

Submit
34. Bryophytes

Explanation

Bryophytes cannot grow more than a few centimeters in height because they cannot transport water up and down their stems. This is because bryophytes lack specialized tissues for water transport, such as xylem and phloem. Without these tissues, water uptake and distribution within the plant is limited, resulting in a small size.

Submit
35. A stamen of a typical flower consists of

Explanation

The stamen of a typical flower consists of an anther and a filament. The anther is the part of the stamen that produces and releases pollen, while the filament is the stalk that supports the anther. Together, the anther and filament make up the male reproductive organ of the flower. The other options in the question, such as anthers and a pistil or stigmas and a style, are incorrect as they do not represent the components of a stamen.
