Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of plants?
They move freely from place to place
Create food through photosynthesis
Are incapable of movement
Are multicellular organisms
Which of the following is a true statement about photosynthesis?
In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react with light energy to form photosynthates and release oxygen as a byproduct
There are three stages in the photosynthesis process
Photosynthesis is essentially evaporation of water and is similar to perspiration in humans
Photosynthesis creates a net energy production of 36 units of ATP
Which of the following describes the structures plants use to reproduce sexually?
Stems and fruits
Petals and leaves
Roots and leaves
Flowers and fruits
Respiration involves photosynthesis combining with carbon dioxide to release oxygen and water.
True
False
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a major plant process?
Evaporation
Transpiration
Respiration
Photosynthesis
Which of the following describes photosynthesis?
The process of converting chemical energy to light energy
The process of converting light energy to chemical energy
The process by which a cell releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
The loss of water from plant leaves through stomata
Which process occurs when a cell releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen?
Respiration
Transpiration
Photosynthesis
Glycolysis
Which of the following is NOT one of the major environmental aspects which affects plant processes?
Water
Wind
Temperature
Light
Which of the following can occur to a plant if temperatures or day lengths do NOT correspond with a plant's desired growing weather?
The plant grows faster than normal and gets too large
The plant may not flower or can exhibit stunted growth and poor quality
The plant wilts and dies
The plant adapts to the changes and grows as normal
Which of the following is NOT a condition which triggers germination?
Temperature
Oxygen levels
Nitrogen levels
Moisture
Which of the following plant parts supports the stem?
Flowers
Roots
Leaves
Stem
Which of the following does NOT describe roots?
Roots absorb water and nutrients for plants
Roots serve as the food storage organs for plants
Roots produce food and energy for plants
Roots anchor plants in the soil
Which of the following is NOT a true statement about flowers and fruit?
Both are structures which allow plants to reproduce sexually
Seeds from fruit are moved by animals, wind and water
Flowers are fertilized or mature ovules
The fragrance and color of flowers attracts pollinators which carry pollen to other flowers to continue the species

Endosperm
Cotyledons
Radicle
Embryo
Which of the following must occur in order for plants to grow?
Alternating rates of photosynthesis and respiration
The rate of photosynthesis must be equal to the rate of respiration
The rate of respiration must be greater than the rate of photosynthesis
The rate of photosynthesis must be greater than the rate of respiration
Which of the following is NOT a benefit of weeds?
Add organic matter to soil
Soil stabilization
Provide habitat and feed for wildlife
Increase crop yields
Which of the following best describes vascular tissue?
Comprises the majority of the primary plant body
Transports food, water, hormones and minerals throughout the plant
Specializes in storage, photosynthesis and support
Provides a protective covering for the plant
Leaves are the main photosynthetic organs of plants.
True
False
