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






2. 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.

7. What is NOT a function of the vacuole?






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






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






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

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






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






31. 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.
