| Herbaceous PERENNIALS such as chrysanthemums store nutrients for the next season's growth in fleshy roots or underground stems. | True |
| Plant development is considered REVERSIBLE because cells of certain tissues can form unspecialized cells that can then differentiate and develop into a mature plant. | True |
| A plant's roots ___. | Obtain oxygen from airspaces between soil particles |
| Which of the following is a list of three major nutrients required by plants? | Nitrogen, Phosphorus, & Potassium |
| A plant that completes its life cycle in a single growing season is called a ___. | Annual |
| Which of the following may be needed in order for a seed to germinate? | ALL OF THE ABOVE |
| Like other grasses a wheat plant is characterized by having ___. | ALL OF THE ABOVE |
| When commercial growers are artificially controlled the lengths of days and nights they are relying on a response called ___. | Photoperiodism |
| When binds grow their tendrils coil around objects for support. This action is called ___? | Thigmotropism |
| Cells on the dark side of a stem elongate more than the cells on the light side because the hormone ___. | Auxin accumulates on the dark side and causes the cell walls to become more flexible |

| The structure labeled B is the ___. | Embryo |
| The structure labeled C is the ___. | Cotyledons |
| Many of the plant's responses to environmental stimuli are caused by ___. | Hormones |
| A trophism is a growth response to ___. | Toward or away from a stimulus |

| Some seeds CANNOT SPROUT until their seed coats are damaged. | True |
| In a tissue cultural cells divide and then undergo DIFFERENTIATION. | True |
| Trees, shrubs, and woody vines that drop all of their leaves at the end of the growing season each year are classified as PERENNIALS. | True |
| SECONDARY GROWTH results in an increase in a plant's width. | True |
| If there is not enough air in the spaces between soil particles there may not be enough OXYGEN available for a plant's roots and the plant could die. | True |

| The inhibition of bud growth along the stem by auxin is called APICAL DOMINANCE. | True |
| GRAVITROPISM is a response to gravity. | True |
| In many MONOCOTS the shoot of a seedling is covered by a protective sheet. | True |
