    Which part is found on an animal rather than a plant?

    • Leaf

    • Leg

    • Stem

    • Root

    Correct Answer
    A. Leg
    Explanation
    Legs are found on animals rather than plants. Plants do not have legs as they are stationary and do not require the ability to move. Legs are specialized appendages that animals use for locomotion, allowing them to walk, run, jump, or swim. In contrast, plants use other structures like roots, stems, and leaves to support themselves, absorb water and nutrients, and carry out photosynthesis.

    Which term describes plants that have leaves all year round?

    Correct Answer
    A. Evergreen
    Explanation
    Evergreen is the correct answer because it describes plants that retain their leaves throughout the entire year. Unlike deciduous plants, which shed their leaves during certain seasons, evergreen plants maintain their foliage year-round. This term is often used to describe trees and shrubs that remain green and vibrant even in colder climates. Perennial and annual are not the correct terms for plants with leaves all year round, as they refer to the lifespan or growth cycle of the plant rather than leaf retention.

    Which tree drops its leaves a few at a time throughout the year rather than all at once?

This is because pine trees have needle-like leaves that can last for several years instead of the typical broad leaves that deciduous trees have. The needles of pine trees are shed gradually throughout the year and are replaced by new ones, allowing the tree to maintain its foliage year-round.
