Cells with chloroplasts
- C.
Chlorophyll
- D.
Seeds
- E.
Flowers
Correct Answer(s)
A. Cells with cell walls
B. Cells with chloroplasts
C. ChlorophyllExplanation
Every plant has cells with cell walls, which provide structural support and protection for the plant. Plants also have cells with chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis. However, not all plants have seeds or flowers. Some plants reproduce through spores or other methods, and not all plants produce flowers.Rate this question:

- A.
Photosynthesis
- B.
Evaporation
- C.
Condensation
- D.
Transpiration
Correct Answer
A. PhotosynthesisExplanation
Larry the Leaf is describing the process of photosynthesis. This is evident from the fact that Larry is a leaf and photosynthesis is the process by which plants, including leaves, convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.

Plants that have flowers are called.
- A.
Angiosperms
- B.
Gymnosperms
- C.
Pretty
- D.
Non-vascular plants
Correct Answer
A. AngiospermsExplanation
Angiosperms are plants that have flowers. Flowers are the reproductive structures of angiosperms and are responsible for producing seeds. Angiosperms are the largest group of plants and include familiar plants such as roses, sunflowers, and daisies. They are characterized by having enclosed seeds within an ovary, which develops into a fruit after fertilization. This distinguishes them from gymnosperms, which have naked seeds, and non-vascular plants, which lack specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. "Pretty" is not a scientific term used to describe plants, so it is not the correct answer.Rate this question:

What type of plant is this?
- A.
Gymnosperm
- B.
Angiosperm
- C.
Non-vascular plant
- D.
Fern
Correct Answer
A. GymnospermExplanation
This plant is classified as a gymnosperm because gymnosperms are plants that produce seeds that are not enclosed in a fruit. They typically have cones or other structures that contain the seeds. This plant does not fall under the category of angiosperm, which are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in a fruit. It is also not a non-vascular plant or a fern, as these are different types of plants with distinct characteristics.Rate this question:

The stigma, style, ovary, and ovules together make up the pistil, which is the male part of a flower.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The given statement is false. The pistil is actually the female part of a flower, not the male part. The pistil consists of three main parts: the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the top part of the pistil that receives pollen, the style is the long tube that connects the stigma to the ovary, and the ovary contains the ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization.Rate this question:

The stamen is the male part of a flower. What are the two main parts of a stamen?
- A.
Filament
- B.
Anther
- C.
Sepal
- D.
Pistil
Correct Answer(s)
A. Filament
B. AntherExplanation
The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower. It consists of two main parts: the filament and the anther. The filament is a long, slender stalk that supports the anther. The anther is the part of the stamen that produces and releases pollen. Together, the filament and anther play a crucial role in the process of pollination and fertilization in plants.Rate this question:

Click on the two plants below that are NON-vascular.
- A.
Mosses
- B.
Algae
- C.
Ferns
- D.
Palm trees
Correct Answer(s)
A. Mosses
B. AlgaeExplanation
Mosses and algae are both examples of non-vascular plants. Non-vascular plants do not have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant. They rely on direct absorption of water and nutrients from their surroundings. Ferns and palm trees, on the other hand, are vascular plants that have specialized tissues for conducting water and nutrients. Therefore, mosses and algae are the correct answers for non-vascular plants in this question.Rate this question:

What are tubes that transport water and nutrients in vascular plants called?
- A.
Xylem and phloem
- B.
Peanut butter and jelly
- C.
Tom and Jerry
- D.
Sepals and petals
Correct Answer
A. Xylem and phloemExplanation
Xylem and phloem are the correct answer because they are the specialized tissues in vascular plants that transport water and nutrients. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports sugars and other organic compounds from the leaves to the other parts of the plant. These two tissues work together to ensure the efficient distribution of essential substances throughout the plant.Rate this question:

A fern is a vascular plant that does not reproduce with seeds. How do ferns reproduce?
- A.
Spores
- B.
Apples
- C.
Pine cones
- D.
Pickles
Correct Answer
A. SporesExplanation
Ferns reproduce through spores. Spores are tiny reproductive structures that can be released from the fern and carried by wind or water to new locations. Once the spore lands in a suitable environment, it can germinate and grow into a new fern plant. This method of reproduction is different from plants that reproduce with seeds, like apples or pine cones.Rate this question:

Algae and mosses are different from vascular plants because the don't have xylem and phloem.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Algae and mosses are different from vascular plants because they lack xylem and phloem. Xylem and phloem are specialized tissues that transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. Vascular plants have these tissues, allowing them to grow larger and more complex, while algae and mosses rely on other methods for nutrient and water absorption. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

Plants CAN live underwater.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Plants can live underwater because they have adaptations that allow them to survive in aquatic environments. They have specialized structures like air-filled spaces or pores in their leaves that help them obtain oxygen from the water. Additionally, they have the ability to carry out photosynthesis even in low light conditions. Some examples of plants that can live underwater are water lilies, water hyacinths, and certain types of algae. Therefore, the statement "Plants CAN live underwater" is true.Rate this question:

Ferns, angiosperms, and gymnosperms are all vascular plants. They have xylem and phloem.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Ferns, angiosperms, and gymnosperms are all types of vascular plants, meaning they have specialized tissues called xylem and phloem. Xylem transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem carries sugars and other organic compounds from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

What is the function of the petals on a flower?
- A.
To attract pollinators
- B.
To look pretty for humans
- C.
To provide a hiding place for bees
- D.
They are food for baby plants
Correct Answer
A. To attract pollinatorsExplanation
The function of the petals on a flower is to attract pollinators. Petals are often brightly colored and have patterns that are visually appealing to insects and birds. These pollinators are attracted to the flowers and visit them to feed on nectar or collect pollen. As they move from flower to flower, they inadvertently transfer pollen, aiding in the process of pollination and facilitating the reproduction of the plants.Rate this question:

Where did the pollen on this bee's legs come from?
- A.
The anthers of a flower
- B.
The ovule of a flower
- C.
The sepal of a flower
- D.
The pistil of a flower
Correct Answer
A. The anthers of a flowerExplanation
The pollen on the bee's legs most likely came from the anthers of a flower. Bees collect pollen from flowers to feed their larvae and also for their own nutrition. When bees land on a flower, the pollen sticks to their body, particularly their legs, due to the sticky texture of the pollen. As the bee moves from flower to flower, some of the pollen is transferred to the stigma of other flowers, facilitating pollination. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the pollen on the bee's legs originated from the anthers of a flower.Rate this question:
