Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

10. NO vascular tissue - NO roots - have modified photosynthetic tissue to help it absorb carbon dioxide without losing too much water - can survive in variety of environments - seedless - and commonly seen as mosses - hornworts - and liverworts.






11. Southern US - prop roots hold it in place as water moves out - it can breathe under water.






12. What contains the most potential energy?






13. Traits that are desirable can be selected and bred for. process of selectively mating and breeding plants with particular traits.

15. Which class of organic macromolecule stores the greatest amount of potential energy?






16. What are the major groups of algae?






17. Don't have roots or leaves - and are not producers - do not photosynthesize - and have cell walls made out of chitlin.






18. Heating up bacteria until it is harmless and cannot function.






19. What organelle was observable in the onion epidermis stained with iodine?






20. What is the role of endosperm?






21. What type of RNA has an anticodon?






22. What process involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane?






23. What BEST describes plant hormones?






24. Seedless - multicellular - and terrestrial - have a vascular system - reproduce by spreading spores that are found on the underside of mature leaves.






25. What plant tissue functions in conducting water from the roots to the leaves?






26. What hormone is most important in the ripening of fruits?






27. Where in a plant is the water potential lowest?






28. Under what circumstance would sexual reproduction be more successful than asexual reproduction?






29. Have a cell wall - no membrane - and no nucleus






30. Lives in california - it is a lily - waxy - thin - sharp leaves to stop water loss - holds water for up to 2 years.






31. The ocular lens of a microscope is 10x - and the objective lens is 4x. What is the total magnification of the microscope?






32. Traits that are desirable can be selected and bred for. process of selectively mating and breeding plants with particular traits.

34. How does DNA replication take place?






35. What organelle contains DNA?






36. Southern US - prop roots hold it in place as water moves out - it can breathe under water.






37. How is algae different from 'true' plants?

39. What is NOT a structure found on a typical flowering plant?






40. What organelle was observable in the onion epidermis stained with iodine?






41. What cellular processes generate short carbon chains or skeletons which plants use to assemble amino acids and lipids?






42. Heating up bacteria until it is harmless and cannot function.






43. Which tissue system occurs throughout the plant - is made up of parenchyma - collenchyma - and sclerenchyma cells - and functions in storage - structural support - and metabolism?






44. Transferring of the information from the DNA into the language of the mRNA.






45. Which part of the microscope would be adjusted to sharpen the image of a specimen at high magnification?






46. What are adenine - guanine - thymine - cytosine?






47. What is a reactant in the photochemical reactions of photosynthesis?






48. Lives in dry - hot/cold - windy places - has fuzzy hairs to distance wind from the leaves
