Plants: Unit 7 Quiz 2 Study Guide
1) Genetic information 2) Energy 3) Matter
(Select all that apply.) Which of the following does the plant need in order for it to germinate and develop?
Dicotyledon
(dicot). A flowering plant with seeds having two seed leaves, e.g., bean.
Monocotyledon
(monocot). A flowering plant with seeds having one seed leaf, e.g., corn.
branch
A crosswise elongation of cells within the stem will produce a leaf or_______.
Endosperm
A food storage tissue which assists in seed development in flowering plants; may or may not be apparent depending upon the stage of seed maturation.
DNA
A meristematic cell will differentiate due to its
Annual
A plant that completes its life cycle from seed germination through fruit and seed production within a year's time.
Perennial
A plant that continues to live for many years is termed a(n)
Annual
A plant that germinates, grows, produces flowers and seeds, and dies in a year is termed a(n)
Entropy
A running down, or related to the physical law of an increasing tendency for disorganization.
False
A seed consists solely of a protected package of elements, nutrients and plant food requiring only water and solar energy.
Cotyledon
A seed leaf; may store (dicot) or absorb (monocot) food in seeds of flowering plants.
False
An annual plant bears fruit or flowers every year.
meristematic
Cells that multiply and produce growth at various parts of a plant are:
parenchyma
Differentiated cells which take on the function of food storage are:
Starches
During cell division, energy is needed. The first chemicals to be broken down to use as energy in cell division are called
False
Energy plus matter is sufficient for continued development of order, complexity or growth.
True
Evolution theory is based on the supposition that energy plus matter plus natural chemical combinations are sufficient to ultimately produce functioning interrelated complex systems.
Angiosperms
Flowering plants are classified as:
Entropy
In order for a plant to grow, it must overcome the basic universal law of_______?
elongation
In the maturation process of cells, the first step after production by a meristem; a lengthening of the cell assisted by water intake in living things to occur; an organic catalyst.
1) one seed leaf - Monocot 2) two seed leaves - Dicot 3) netted leaf structure - Dicot 4) parallel leaf structure - Monocot 5) cotyledons - Dicot food 6) endosperm - Monocot food
Match to show the differences between monocots and dicots.
True
Nearly all meristematic cells of different plants appear to look alike.
Bark
Old phloem cells become:
Phloem
One of the tissues making up bark is:
False
Roots grow downward by cell differentiation.
wood
That part of a tree that is interior to the vascular cambium; the xylem of a tree.
bark
That part of a woody stem, or tree, that is outside the vascular cambium; includes phloem and cork.
Germination
The beginning of the development of a plant from a seed is called_______?
Enzymes
The chemicals first activated in the seed that help cause other chemicals to react are called:
Endosperm
The food for the embryo plant comes from the cotyledon or________.
Differentiation
The maturation of a cell produced by a plant meristem; cells may mature to form fibers, parenchyma, vessel members, etc.
vascular cambium
The merismatic cells under the bark forming a ring around the tree are the
vascular cambium
The meristematic cells which produce new cells increasing plant body girth; often forming a ring only several cell layers wide in woody stems and roots.
Morphology
The study of growth characteristics of a plant is called developmental_______?
1) phloem 2) xylem
The vascular cambium cells differentiate into:
vascular cambium
The width of a tree increases through direct growth of the:
meristem
The youthful, undifferentiated cells of root and shoot tips and other plant parts that produce new cells for growth in size and girth.
Perennial
Two ancient_______ plants cited in the text are the bristlecone pine and the giant sequoias.
