Worksheet time: 8mins
What is a key characteristic of non-native plants?
They co-exist with other plant species to provide habitats for wildlife
They are always low maintenance
They were introduced to an environment where they did not evolve
They always have a positive impact on the ecosystem
Which of the following is NOT a benefit of native plants for the environment?
They are low maintenance and have low costs to maintain
They do not need additional fertilizers or pesticides
They provide food and habitat for wildlife
They have a negative impact on the local ecosystem
Why are non-native plants also called invasive plants?
Because they always improve the local ecosystem
Because they are native to every environment
Because they can negatively impact the local environment and ecosystem
Because they require less maintenance
Which of the following statements about non-native plants is true?
They evolved in the local environment
They are always beneficial to the ecosystem
Their introduction can occur deliberately or accidentally
They require no maintenance
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic used to classify plants as monocots or dicots?
Number of cotyledons
Pollen structure
Type of fruit
Leaf veins
Which of the following is a characteristic of monocots?
Embryo with two cotyledons
Pollen with single furrow or pore
Flower parts in multiples of four or five
Net-like leaf veins
Which of the following is a characteristic of dicots?
Embryo with one cotyledon
Embryo with two cotyledons
Pollen with a single furrow or pore
Absence of secondary growth
Vascular plants make up approximately what percentage of all plants?
10 percent
25 percent
50 percent
80 percent
Why are vascular bundles important for plants?
They help plants reproduce
They transport water and nutrients
They provide color to flowers
They store seeds
Explain how the presence of vascular systems benefits vascular plants compared to non-vascular plants.
Vascular systems allow plants to grow larger and efficiently transport water and nutrients, unlike non-vascular plants which are limited in size and transport ability.
Vascular systems help plants photosynthesize faster than non-vascular plants.
Vascular systems make plants immune to diseases.
Vascular systems allow plants to reproduce without seeds.
Which group of plants produces seeds that are not encased by an outer layer and are also known as "naked seeds"?
Angiosperms
Seedless Vascular Plants
Gymnosperms
Non-Vascular Plants
What is a key characteristic of angiosperms?
Produce pollen grains and ovules in cones
Produce seeds which are encased by an outer layer (fruit)
Reproduce through spores instead of seeds
Are considered to be the most primitive of plants
Which statement best describes the reproduction of seedless vascular plants?
They reproduce through seeds encased in fruit.
They reproduce through spores instead of seeds.
They reproduce through pollen grains in flowers.
They reproduce through cones.
Compare and contrast the reproductive strategies of gymnosperms and angiosperms. Provide one similarity and one difference.
Both produce seeds; gymnosperms have seeds encased in fruit, angiosperms do not.
Both produce seeds; gymnosperms have naked seeds, angiosperms have seeds encased in fruit.
Both reproduce through spores; gymnosperms use cones, angiosperms use flowers.
Both reproduce through cones; gymnosperms have naked seeds, angiosperms have seeds encased in fruit.
Given the characteristics listed, which of the following would be the best environment for these plants to thrive?
A shaded, moist forest floor
A dry desert
A salty marsh
A frozen tundra
