Apologia Biology Module 15

Which of the following water uses can a plant ignore for a short time without dying?

• photosynthesis

• turgor pressure

• hydrolysis

• transport

Carnivorous plants obtain what from their prey?

• nitrogen

• water

• glucose

• oxygen

Upward movement of water in a plant involves all except...

• transpiration

• cohesion

• translocation

• tension

No matter where the sun is in the sky, the sunflower will be facing it. Which type of tropism is this?

• geotropsim

• hydrotropism

• phototropism

• thigmotropism

Which best describes the cohesion-tension theory of water movement in plants?

• A tense, stressed out plant shoves its water upward.

• Water evaporates then the cohesion of water molecules and the tension between them creates a vacuum type chain reaction to move water upward.

• The cohesion of water molecules has to be overcome by the tension of the plant tissue.

The three parts of a pollen grain include....

• 1 tube nucleus and 2 sperm cells

• 1 embryo and 2 megaspores

• 1 diploid cell and 2 microspores

• 1 pollen sac and 2 pollen dusts

If you plant a seed too deep, the seedling will break out of the seed and begin to grow. It will die before it reaches the surface, why?

• It will drown in the moist soil

• It will starve as the food supply is used up and it cannot perform photosynthesis

Which of the following would a biology student find in an imperfect flower?

• style and anther

• anther and filament

• carpel and stamen

• ovule and pollen

An embryo sac contains a total of how many cells?

• 7

• 5

• 9

• 3

Which of the following is not found in the carpel of a flower?

• ovary

• style

• stigma

• anther
