Introduction to Plants

Do plant cells contain the same organelles as animal cells?

• Yes, they contain exactly the same organelles.

• No, plant cells contain different organelles than animal cells.

• Yes, but plant cells also have additional organelles that animal cells do not have.

• No, plant cells do not contain any organelles.

Answer explanation

Plant cells contain the same organelles as animal cells, but they also have chloroplasts which animal cells do not have.

Can plants reproduce in more than one way?

• No, plants can only reproduce sexually.

• Yes, plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually.

• No, plants can only reproduce asexually.

• Yes, but plants can only reproduce using external agents like wind or insects.

Answer explanation

Plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually, allowing for genetic diversity and adaptation to different environments.

What is true about the life cycle of all plants?

• All plants have a single-stage life cycle.

• All plants have a three-stage life cycle.

• All plants have a two-stage life cycle.

• The life cycle of plants varies widely, with no common stages.

Answer explanation

All plants have a two-stage life cycle. The Sporophyte stage and the Gametophyte stage.

Imagine a world without plants - could humans still thrive and survive?

• Yes, humans can survive without plants.

• Plants are not necessary for human survival.

In order to make their own food, plants use the process of 

• cellular respiration

• chloroplast

• photosynthesis

• protein synthesis

What are the products of photosynthesis?

• water and carbon dioxide

• oxygen and glucose

• oxygen and carbon dioxide

• oxygen and water

Answer explanation

The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct, while glucose is the main product used for energy storage and growth.

Two structures found in plant cells but NOT animal cells are 

• cell wall and cell membrane

• chloroplasts and cell membrane

• cell wall and chloroplasts

• vacuole and lysosome

Answer explanation

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, which are not found in animal cells. These structures provide support and enable photosynthesis, respectively.
