Question 12
12.

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

Question 13
13.

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

Question 14
14.

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!

Question 19
19.

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. Release of pollen.
  3. Pollen located on anther.
  4. Egg becomes fertilized.
Question 20
20.

Question 21
21.

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 22
22.

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.

Often makes up most of the edible portions of plants, like potatoes or squash.
Transports materials around the plant.
Three main responsibilities are storage, photosynthesis, & support.
Includes the phloem & xylem.
Two main responsibilities are to protect the plant from external factors and conduct photosynthesis.
Includes the cuticle.
Plant tissue that is not considered dermal or vascular tissue.
Dermal Tissue
Vascular Tissue
Ground Tissue
pistil
adhesion
cohesion
root pressure
one is covered by a cuticle while the other is not
one is taking in water, while the other is not
the guard cells are are responsible for causing the visible difference between them
one of them is considered a stoma while the other one is considered a stomata
only found in the stem of a plant, but not the leaves or roots
has water inside
considered vascular tissue
has sugars inside
considered ground tissue
connects the processes of root absorption to transpiration
BOTH the xylem & phloem
Xylem ONLY
Phloem ONLY
NEITHER the xylem nor phloem
Ovary
Anther
Style
Stigma
Female Reproductive Parts
Male Reproductive Parts
the part of the plant containing seeds, which matures from the stamen of a flower
fleshy storage structures found primarily below-ground
an individual seed from a plant
the male reproductive structures of a plant
the part of the plant containing seeds, which matures from the ovary of a flower
a sweet, colorful, and edible item grown on a plant
Phototropism
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
Hydrotropism
some plants will curl around a fence, wall, or other solid structure, when they come into contact with it
Thigmotropism
the roots of a plant will usually grow towards a nearby water source
this species is xerophytic, because the stomata are only located on the bottom of the leaf and not the upper surface of the leaf
the pictures were taken at different times of the day - the upper image was likely taken during the night, while the lower image was likely taken during the day
this plant species is hydrophytic, because the leaf is well adapted for floating on water
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.

carrot
onion
sweet potato
celery
turnip
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
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
surrounding the seed with a structure that is attractive and edible to encourage animals to eat them and disperse them
growing seeds around a fertilized egg cell helps protect the new growing plant while it grows underground
