    • Organism

    • Cotyledon

    • Animal

    • Antibody

    Correct Answer
    A. Organism
    Explanation
    An organism is a living entity that exhibits the six features of life, which include being composed of cells, having the ability to grow and develop, maintaining homeostasis, responding to stimuli, reproducing, and obtaining and using energy. The options "cotyledon," "animal," and "antibody" do not encompass all these features and therefore cannot be considered organisms.

    What do plants need in order to grow?

    • Sunlight

    • Water

    • Air

    • Nutrients

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, water for hydration and nutrient absorption, air for respiration, and nutrients for growth and development. Therefore, all of the above options are correct as they are essential requirements for plant growth.

  • 4. 

    The baby plant inside the seed is called the __________________.

    • Cotyledon

    • Embryo

    • Root

    • Flower

    Correct Answer
    A. Embryo
    Explanation
    The correct answer is embryo. The embryo refers to the baby plant inside the seed. It is the early stage of development for the plant, containing the essential structures and tissues that will eventually grow into the mature plant. The embryo is protected by the seed coat and contains the cotyledons, which are the first leaves of the plant.

    Another name for sprouting is

    • Germination

    • Pollenation

    • Rooting

    • Stemming

    Correct Answer
    A. Germination
    Explanation
    Germination is the process by which a seed begins to grow into a new plant. It involves the sprouting of the seed and the development of a root, stem, and leaves. Therefore, germination is another name for sprouting. Pollenation refers to the transfer of pollen from the male to the female reproductive organs of a plant. Rooting refers to the development of roots, while stemming refers to the growth of stems.

    What isn't a carrot a fruit?

    • It is orange.

    • It isn't juicy.

    • It grows underground.

    • It has no seeds.

    Correct Answer
    A. It has no seeds.
    Explanation
    Carrots are classified as vegetables because they do not have seeds. Fruits are typically defined as the mature ovaries of flowering plants that contain seeds. Carrots, on the other hand, are root vegetables that grow underground and do not produce seeds. Although carrots are orange and not juicy, these characteristics are not the defining factors for classifying them as fruits.

    What is the only thing necessary for germination?

    • Soil

    • Air

    • Water

    • Sun

    Correct Answer
    A. Water
    Explanation
    Water is the only thing necessary for germination because it activates enzymes that break down stored food in the seed, allowing it to grow. Without water, the seed remains dormant and cannot begin the process of sprouting. Soil provides nutrients and support, air supplies oxygen, and sunlight is essential for photosynthesis, but water is the key factor that triggers germination.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The ____________ protects the seed.

    • Flower

    • Roots

    • Fruit

    • Leaves

    Correct Answer
    A. Fruit
    Explanation
    The fruit protects the seed. When a flower is fertilized, the ovary of the flower develops into a fruit, which surrounds and protects the seeds. The fruit provides a protective covering that helps to prevent damage from physical factors such as wind, rain, and animals. It also plays a role in seed dispersal, as animals may eat the fruit and spread the seeds to new locations.
