| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a Cotyledon? | A seed leaf which develops as a part of the seed. It provides nutrients to the developing seedling and eventually becomes the first leaf of the plant. |
| What is Pollen? | A fine dust that contains the sperm of seed-producing plants. |
| What is the Dominant generation? | In alternation of generations, the generation that occupies that largest portion of the life cycle. |
| What is the Alternation of generations? | A life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form and a multicellular haploid form. |
| What is Girdling? | The process of cutting away a ring of inner and outer bark all the way around a tree trunk. |
| What is a Deciduous plant? | A plant that loses its leaves for winter. |
| What is Leaf margin? | The characteristics of the leaf edge. |
| What is Leaf mosaic? | The arrangement of leaves on the stem of a plant. |
| What is Phloem? | Living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant. |
| What is Xylem? | Nonliving vascular tissue that carries water and dissolved minerals from the roots of a plant. |
| What are Undifferentiated cells? | Cells that have not specialized in any particular funtion. |
| What are Reproductive plant organs? | The parts of a plant (such as flowers, fruit, and seeds) involved in reproduction. |
| What are Vegetative organs? | The parts of a plant (such as the stems, roots, and leaves) that are not involved in reproduction. |
| What are Biennial plants? | Plants that live for 2 years. |
| What are Annual plants? | Plants that live for only one year. |
| What are Perennial plants? | Plants that grow year after year. |
| What is Botany? | The study of plants. |
| A carrot is the root of a carrot plant. What kind of organ is it? | |
| A section of plant no longer has any mitosis going on. What kind of tissue should be absent in that section? | |
| A leaf cannot get the carbon dioxide that it needs for photosynthesis. What, most likely, is wrong? | |
| What can't the parenchyma be made of two layers of palisade mesophyll? | |
| Which of the four basic tissue types (dermal, ground, meristematic, and vascular) does the epidermis classify into? | |
| If a leaf isn't green, does that mean there is no chlorophyll in it? | |
| Which of the four basic tissue types (dermal, ground, meristematic, and vascular) does the parenchyma classify into? | |
| If a green leaf has no abscission layer, what color will the leaf be in the winter? | |
| Which of the four basic tissue types (dermal, ground, meristematic, and vascular) does the collenchyma classify into? | |
| A 12-foot high plant has a root system that travels to a soil depth of only 3 feet. Does this plant have a taproot system or a fibrous root system? | |
| If a root contains little cortex tissue compared to similar roots, what function can you conclude the root does NOT perform? | |
| If a stem has no cork, is it woody or herbaceous? | |
| If a stem has no limits to its growth, is it woody or herbaceous? | |
| A stem has xylem and phloem packed together in fibrovascular bundles scattered throughout the stem. Is it woody or herbaceous? | |
| You see a plant that is 2 feet tall. Can it be a bryophyte? | |
| You study a moss that reproduces by making spores. Is it composed of diploid or haploid cells? | |
| You study a moss that reproduces by making spores. Does it make the spores using mitosis or meiosis? | |
| You study a moss that reproduces by making spores. If you study the offspring of this reproduction, will its cells be diploid or haploid? | |
| You study a moss that reproduces by making spores. What kind of cells will it make in order to reproduce? Will it use mitosis or meiosis to make these cells? | |
| A biologist studies a fern leaf with sorri. Is the fern leaf made of diploid or haploid cells? | |
| A student sees a fern on the branch of another tree. The student says that the fern is obviously a parasite. Is the student correct? Why or why not? | |
| Suppose a conifer self-fertilizes. From a genetic point of view, is this the same as asexual reproduction? Why or why not? |
