Plants: Form and Function

What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?

• Transpiration

• Photosynthesis

• Fermentation

• Respiration

How do plants reproduce asexually?

• Fragmentation, budding, and producing offspring from their roots, stems, or leaves

• Using wind to spread pollen

• Producing offspring through seeds

• Reproducing through spores

What is transpiration and how does it benefit plants?

• Transpiration benefits plants by helping to cool them, providing the force to lift water and nutrients from the soil, and helping to transport nutrients throughout the plant.

• Transpiration benefits plants by attracting pests and diseases

• Transpiration benefits plants by causing wilting and dehydration

• Transpiration benefits plants by reducing the uptake of nutrients from the soil

Give an example of a plant adaptation and explain how it helps the plant survive.

• Sunflower is an example of a plant adaptation. Its ability to store water in its petals helps it survive in wet environments.

• Cactus is an example of a plant adaptation. Its ability to store water in its thick stem and have reduced leaves helps it survive in arid environments.

• Rose is an example of a plant adaptation. Its thorns help it survive in dry environments.

• Tulip is an example of a plant adaptation. Its ability to grow in shade helps it survive in sunny environments.

Name one plant hormone and describe its function.

• Cytokinin - It slows down photosynthesis and causes leaf yellowing.

• Abscisic acid - It stimulates cell division and promotes root growth.

• Auxin - It promotes cell elongation and regulates plant growth.

• Gibberellin - It inhibits cell growth and promotes plant wilting.

What are the main differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

• Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

• Eukaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells have a true nucleus but no membrane-bound organelles.

• Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

• Eukaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

What are the different plant classifications based on their life cycle?

• trees, shrubs, and herbs

• deciduous, evergreen, and coniferous

• cacti, succulents, and ferns

• annuals, biennials, and perennials

Describe the structure of a seed and its function.

• The structure of a seed includes an outer seed coat, an embryo, and endosperm. The function of a seed is to protect and nourish the embryo, and to provide a means of dispersal for the plant species.

• The structure of a seed includes a shell, a yolk, and albumen. The function of a seed is to provide food for animals.

• The structure of a seed includes a seedling, a flower, and a fruit. The function of a seed is to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

• The structure of a seed includes a stem, leaves, and roots. The function of a seed is to produce flowers and fruits.

What is the function of the root system in plants?

• Produces flowers and fruits

• Supports the leaves

• Helps in photosynthesis

• Absorbs water and nutrients, anchors the plant, and stores food

Name and explain the different types of roots found in plants.

• Green roots and brown roots

• Taproots and fibrous roots

• Round roots and square roots

• Long roots and short roots
