  • 2. 

    The transfer of pollen to the stigma is what?

    • Pollination

    • Rhizoids

    • Rhizomes

    Correct Answer
    A. Pollination
    Explanation
    Pollination refers to the transfer of pollen grains from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (stigma) of a flower. This process is crucial for the fertilization and reproduction of flowering plants. Pollen can be transferred through various agents such as wind, water, insects, birds, or other animals. Once the pollen reaches the stigma, it can germinate and grow a pollen tube, allowing the sperm cells to travel to the ovary and fertilize the ovules. Therefore, pollination plays a vital role in the sexual reproduction and survival of flowering plants.

    Mosses and liverworts do not have a ______ root system

    • Smart

    • Complex

    • Bad

    Correct Answer
    A. Complex
    Explanation
    Mosses and liverworts do not have a complex root system because they are non-vascular plants, meaning they lack specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. Instead, they have simple structures called rhizoids that anchor them to the ground and absorb water and minerals. These rhizoids are not true roots as they do not have the same complexity and functionality as roots found in vascular plants.

  • 4. 

    A mature ripened Ovary of a plant is

    • Fruit

    • Food

    Correct Answer
    A. Fruit
    Explanation
    A mature ripened ovary of a plant is called a fruit. Fruits are formed from the ovary after fertilization, and they contain seeds. They serve as a means of dispersing seeds and are often consumed by animals, making them an important part of plant reproduction and seed dispersal. Fruits can vary in size, shape, color, and taste, and they are a common food source for humans and animals alike.

    Pollination within the same flower

    • Stamen

    • Embryo

    • Self Pollination

    Correct Answer
    A. Self Pollination
    Explanation
    Self-pollination refers to the process where pollen from the stamen of a flower is transferred to the stigma of the same flower, leading to fertilization and the development of an embryo. This can occur due to various mechanisms such as wind, gravity, or the flower's own structure. Self-pollination is advantageous for plants as it ensures reproductive success even in the absence of external pollinators. It allows for the transfer of genetic material within the same plant, leading to the production of offspring with similar traits to the parent plant.

    The outer covering a seed is called a 

    • Seed coat

    • Embryo

    Correct Answer
    A. Seed coat
    Explanation
    The outer covering of a seed is called a seed coat. This protective layer surrounds and protects the embryo inside the seed. It helps to prevent damage from external factors such as insects, diseases, and harsh environmental conditions. The seed coat also plays a crucial role in regulating the germination process by controlling the entry of water and gases into the seed. Overall, the seed coat is essential for the survival and successful growth of the embryo within the seed.

  • 11. 

    The female part or a plant that secures the ovary to the stigma is what part of a flower?

    • Stamen

    • Pistil

    • Tropism

    Correct Answer
    A. Pistil
    Explanation
    The pistil is the correct answer because it is the female reproductive organ of a flower. It consists of three main parts: the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the sticky surface where pollen is deposited, and it is connected to the ovary by the style. The ovary contains the ovules which eventually develop into seeds after fertilization. Therefore, the pistil plays a crucial role in the reproduction of flowering plants by securing the ovary to the stigma.

    Hair like fibers that hold mosses to the ground.

    • Rhizoids

    • Seed Coat

    • Embryo

    Correct Answer
    A. Rhizoids
    Explanation
    Rhizoids are hair-like fibers that hold mosses to the ground. They act as anchors, allowing the moss to attach itself to various surfaces, such as soil, rocks, or tree bark. Rhizoids also aid in the absorption of water and nutrients from the environment. They are not true roots, as they do not perform the same functions as roots in vascular plants. Instead, rhizoids provide stability and support for the moss, allowing it to grow and thrive in its habitat.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    A response to a stimuli in plants. Can either be positive or negative

    • Frond

    • Tropism

    • Non vascular

    Correct Answer
    A. Tropism
    Explanation
    Tropism refers to the response of a plant to an external stimulus, which can be either positive or negative. It is a growth movement that occurs in response to specific environmental factors such as light, gravity, or touch. This response helps the plant to adapt and survive in its surroundings. Tropisms can be categorized into different types based on the stimulus, such as phototropism (response to light), gravitropism (response to gravity), and thigmotropism (response to touch). Therefore, the term "tropism" accurately describes the given explanation of a plant's response to stimuli.

    • Monocot

    • Angiosperms

    • Spores

    Correct Answer
    A. Monocot
    Explanation
    The given characteristics of having 1 cotyledon, parallel leaf veins, flowers in multiples of 3, and vascular pattern in bundles are all typical of monocots. Monocots are a type of angiosperms, which are flowering plants. Spores are not relevant to the given characteristics, so the correct answer is Monocot.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    An underground stem of a fern?

    • Rhizomes

    • Tropism

    • Seed

    Correct Answer
    A. Rhizomes
    Explanation
    Rhizomes are underground stems of ferns that grow horizontally. They are responsible for the vegetative reproduction of the ferns, as they produce new shoots and roots. Rhizomes have nodes and internodes, and they store nutrients for the plant. They also help in anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. Therefore, rhizomes are the correct answer for the underground stem of a fern.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Plants that do not produce flowers nor fruits? Example: Conifer

    • Gymnosperms

    • Angiosperms

    • Ferns

    Correct Answer
    A. Gymnosperms
    Explanation
    Gymnosperms are plants that do not produce flowers nor fruits. They are a group of seed-bearing plants that produce naked seeds, meaning their seeds are not enclosed within a fruit. Instead, the seeds are usually found on the surface of cones or in other structures. This is in contrast to angiosperms, which are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit. Ferns, on the other hand, are a type of non-flowering vascular plant that reproduces through spores, not seeds.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Plants that bloom when there is much more daylight then darkness is ______

    Correct Answer
    Long day plants
    Explanation
    Long day plants are plants that bloom when there is more daylight than darkness. They require a certain amount of daylight to initiate the flowering process. These plants typically bloom during the spring and summer months when the days are longer. This is in contrast to short day plants, which bloom when there is more darkness than daylight. The response "Long day plants" accurately describes plants that exhibit this specific blooming behavior.
