Plants (Chapter Test Practice)

A zygote is

• a fertilized egg

• a gamete

• a sperm cell

• a sporophyte

In the sporophyte stage, plants produce

• sperm cells

• spores

• energy

• food

The vascular tissue through which food travels from leaves to the stems and roots is called

• xylem

• phloem

• cotyledon

• stomata

Leaves perform all the following EXCEPT

• capture energy from the sun

• make food

• release carbon dioxide

• produce seeds

The process by which plants lose water through their leaves is

• transpiration

• angiosperm

• germination

• pollination

a plant with needlelike leaves is a(n)

• cycad

• conifer

• ginkgoe

• gnetophyte

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from

• female to male reproductive structures

• male to female reproductive structures

• ovaries to sepals

• filaments to stamens

Once a female cone is pollinated, the cone

• shrinks

• moves to a lower branch

• falls off the tree

• closes its scales

Sepals

• protect developing flowers

• attract insects

• produce pollen

• produce ovaries

In precision farming, performing computer analysis on satellite images of fields can tell farmers

• the makeup of the soil in different fields

• which fields have more insects

• which fields have more food per plant

• the expected yield of each field
