Botany Test

Subject : science
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.
1. A plant that carries two different versions of a gene for a single trait is...






2. What are harmful effects of bacteria?






3. What is the function of the cortex in a root?






4. What pigment is responsible for plants sensing day length?






5. Three generations of gymnosperms






6. In what portion of a root might you find 'root hairs'?






7. How many sperm cells does each pollen grain typically carry?






8. What separates during meiosis-II






9. Composite organisms consisting of a symbiotic organism composed of a fungus with a photosynthetic partner - can be used as a natural fertilizer






10. Bugs crawl into 'pitchers' - tiny hairs keep them from getting out - plant breaks down enzymes - and uses nitrogen. lives in places where nitrogen is limited.






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






12. What pigment absorbs energy and can emit an electron in photosynthesis?

14. Where in the chloroplast do protons accumulate - resulting in an electrochemical gradient which drives ATP-synthase?






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






16. Individuals best adapted to their environment reproduce offspring. it requires variation - heritability - and selection.

23. What contains the most potential energy?






24. What cell undergoes meiosis?






25. Iodine can be used to test for what molecule - resulting in a blue-black color?






26. Individuals best adapted to their environment reproduce offspring. it requires variation - heritability - and selection.






27. Info. carrying molecule - single stranded






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






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






30. In what part of a flower is pollen produced?






31. What tissue can be found in a root but not in a stem?






32. In double fertilization - one sperm cell fertilized an egg cell - What does the other sperm cell fertilize?






33. What phenomena explains how a photon can strike any chlorophyll molecule in the antennal complex and still reach the reaction center?

38. Which part of aerobic respiration results in the production of CO2?






39. What organelle do guard cells contain that other epidermal cells lack?






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