Question
Answer
You are studying a plant from the arid southwestern United States. Which of the following adaptations is least likely to have evolved in response to water shortages?   Development of large leaf surfaces to absorb water  
🗑
Which part of a plant absorbs most of the water and minerals taken up from the soil?   root hairs  
🗑
An evolutionary adaption that increases exposure of a plant to light in a dense forest is....   apical dominance  
🗑
A person working with plants may remove apical dominance by...   pruning  
🗑
Land plants are not composed of what tissue?   mesodermal tissues.  
🗑
Vascular plant tissue includes all of the following cell types except   cambium cells  
🗑
What functional plant cells lack a nucleus?   xylem and sieve-tube cells  
🗑
Long, thin tapered cells with lignified cell walls that function in support and permit water to flow through pits   sclerenchyma  
🗑
Living cells that lack nuclei and ribosomes: they transport sugars and other organic nutrients   sieve cells  
🗑
The least specialized plant cells, which serve general metabolic, synthetic, and storage functions   Parenchyma  
🗑
Cells with unevenly thickened primary walls hat support still-elongating parts of the plant   Collenchyma  
🗑
Mature cells without protoplasts with thick, lignified secondary walls that may not function in transport   Sclerenchyma  
🗑
Which of the following is not a characteristic of parenchyma cells?   Have secondary thickenings  
🗑
Which of the following tissues is incorrectly matched with its characteristics?   collenchyma- uniformly thick-walled supportive tissues  
🗑
The fiber cells of plants are a type of   sclerenchyma  
🗑
The vascular bundle in the shape of a single central cylinder root is called   stele  
🗑
One important difference between the anatomy of roots and the anatomy of leaves is that..   a waxy cuticle covers leaves but is absent in roots  
🗑
the photosynthetic cells in the interior of a leaf are what kind of cells:   parenchyma  
🗑
A student examining leaf cross sections under a microscope finds many loosely packed cells with relatively thin cell walls. The cells have numerous chloroplasts. What types of cells are these?   Parenchyma  
🗑
Which of the following is true about secondary growth in plants?   Secondary growth is produced by both the vascular cambium and the cork cambium  
🗑
A friend has discovered a new plant and brings it to you to classify. h eplant has the following characteristics a taproot system with growth rings evident in cross section and a layer of bark around the outside. It is?   Woody eudicot  
🗑
Shoot elongation in a growing bud is due primarily to..   cell elongation localized in each internod  
🗑
Axillary buds develop from   meristematic cells left by the apical meristem  
🗑
Gas exchange, necessary for photosynthesis, can occur most easily in which leaf tissue?   spongy mesophyll  
🗑
What is the correct sequence from the growing tips of the root upward?   root cap, apical meristem, zone of cell division, zone of elongation, and zone of maturation  
🗑
Which of the following is incorrectly paired with its structure and function?   Pericycle- waterproof ring of cells surrounding the stele in roots  
🗑
Which of the following root tissues gives rise to lateral roots?   Pericycle  
🗑
Pores on the leaf surface that function in gas exchange are called:   stomata  
🗑
Which of the following is a true statement about growth in plants   some plants secondary growth  
🗑

🗑
What tissue makes up most of the wood of a tree?   secondary xylem  
🗑
The vasclar system of a three-year-old eudicot stem consists of   3 rings of the xylem and 1 rings of the phloem  
🗑
Which of the following is true of bark?   It is composed of phloem plus periderm.  
🗑
Suppose Geroge completely removed the bark from around the base of a cherry tree but was stopped by his father before cutting the tree down. Plant lived for several weeks but then died. What tissue was left?   xylem  
🗑
Additional vascular tissue produced as secondary growth in a root originates from which cells?   vascular cambium  
🗑
Before differentiation can begin during the process of plant cell and tissue culture, parenchyma cells from the source tissue must   undergo differentiation  
🗑
In leaves, chloroplasts are found in   palisade mesophyll  
🗑
------- provides cells for secondary growth.   Vascular cambium  
🗑
Secondary grrowth never occurs in   leaves  
🗑
How is he supply of vascular cambium maintained?   Through the division of cells  
🗑

🗑
------ is to xylem as ---- is to phloem.   vessel element; sieve-tube member.  
🗑
The driving force that pushes the root tip through the soil is due primarily to:   elongation of cells behind the root apical meristem.  
🗑
------ provides cells for primary growth   apical meristems  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
