Question 1
1.

Categorize each structure below as either a female or male reproductive part of a flower.

Each term must be used only once!

  • Stamen
  • Ovary
  • Pistil
Question 2
2.

Some flowers can pollinate themselves ("self-pollination"). How is this possible?

Question 3
3.

Which answer choice below most accurately describes what biology defines as a "fruit"?

Question 4
4.

Plants are able to respond to their environment in a number of different ways. This often involves growing towards (positive) or away (negative) from a certain stimulus, called tropism. If a plant displays positive tropism, it is growing towards that stimulus. If a plant displays negative tropism, it is growing away from that stimulus.

Match each type of tropism below with the description that best applies to it.

Each answer can only be used once!

The microscope images below show the upper (a) and lower (c) surfaces of a leaf from a certain plant species.
Based on these microscope images only, which conclusion below makes the most sense?

Question 6
6.

[MARK ALL THAT APPLY!]

Which statement(s) below are TRUE?

Question 7
7.
Identify the location for each structure on the diagram below.

Terms can only be used once.
Other Answer Choices:
pistil
petal
stamen
filament
sepal
stigma
receptacle
anther
ovary
style
Question 8
8.

Which of the following terms best explains why so many of the plants that humans eat have dramatically modified plant parts (such as modified stems, roots, or leaves)?

Question 9
9.

Reorder the events below so that they are listed from top (FIRST) to bottom (LAST), when you would expect them to occur during the reproduction processes of a certain flowering plant.

  1. Seed and fruit are formed.
  2. Pollen located on stigma.
  3. Egg becomes fertilized.
  4. Downwards movement within the style.
Question 10
10.

Question 11
11.

The image below shows different examples of seed dispersal adaptations by different types of plants.

The main difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms involves a particular adaptation by angiosperms to help better disperse their seeds in a particular way. Which of the following best explains this angiosperm adaptation for seed dispersal?

Question 12
12.

Tell me the one new thing you learned during the plant lab stations and/or these formative assignments that you thought was interesting/neat/cool in some way, and why you thought so!

If you really, truly knew 100% of the information covered in these activities and feel like you did not learn something new, then take a moment to look up a cool plant fact online and tell me the cool plant fact you found and why you thought it was cool!

Answer must be one complete sentence.

Stigma
Anther
Style
Filament
Female Reproductive Parts
Male Reproductive Parts
the part of the plant containing seeds, which matures from the ovary of a flower
the part of the plant containing seeds, which matures from the stamen of a flower
an individual seed from a plant
the male reproductive structures of a plant
a sweet, colorful, and edible item grown on a plant
fleshy storage structures found primarily below-ground
Hydrotropism
a plants' shoots and leaves will usually grow away from the direction that gravity pulls them, while the roots will usually grow towards that pull
Thigmotropism
some plants will curl around a fence, wall, or other solid structure, when they come into contact with it
Phototropism
the roots of a plant will usually grow towards a nearby water source
this plant species is hydrophytic, because the leaf is well adapted for floating on water
this species is xerophytic, because the stomata are only located on the bottom of the leaf and not the upper surface of the leaf
this plant species is hydrophytic, because the stomata are only located on the bottom of the leaf and not the upper surface of the leaf
this species is xerophytic, because the leaf is well adapted for floating on water
Plants found in desert-like climates typically have increased numbers of stomata and very thin cuticle layers.
The main function of nodules is to help prevent water loss.
Animals are able to respond to their environment, but plants are not able to do so.
The two types of vascular tissue are phloem and xylem.
sexual selection
fertilization
adaptation
Seeds are released into the environment.
Fruit is eaten by an animal.
Release of pollen.
Pollen located on anther.
MARK ALL THAT APPLY

Which of these answer choices represents an edible modified root of a plant (based on our station activity)?
turnip
sweet potato
asparagus
white potato
carrot
celery
onion
surrounding the seed with a structure that is attractive and edible to encourage animals to eat them and disperse them
using sexual reproduction to create seeds, increasing the genetic diversity of the offspring
creating seeds that are surrounded by barbed spines that can easily stick to an animal walking by
growing seeds around a fertilized egg cell helps protect the new growing plant while it grows underground
making fewer seeds overall than gymnosperms, so they can concentrate all their energy and effort into creating a seed that is more likely to survive
