  • 2. 
    The arrow next to letter E is pointing to the... - ProProfs

    The arrow next to letter E is pointing to the...

    • Flower

    • Stem

    • Roots

    • Leaves

    • Seeds

    Correct Answer
    A. Roots
    Explanation
    The arrow next to letter E is pointing to the roots. Roots are the part of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil and absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. They provide support to the plant and also store food. In the given options, the arrow is pointing towards the bottom part of the plant, which is where the roots are usually located.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    When a seed begins to sprout and leaves and a stem apear, it is called...

    • Germination

    • Fertilization

    • Photosynthesis

    • Respiration

    Correct Answer
    A. Germination
    Explanation
    Germination refers to the process in which a seed starts to grow and develop into a new plant. During germination, the seed absorbs water and nutrients, causing it to swell and eventually break open. This leads to the emergence of a root, followed by leaves and a stem. Therefore, germination is the correct answer as it accurately describes the initial growth stages of a seed.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following is NOT true for stems?

    • They transport water.

    • They transport air.

    • They transport food and nutrients.

    • They hold up the plant to get light.

    Correct Answer
    A. They transport air.
    Explanation
    Stems are the structural backbone of plants, providing support and transporting water, food, and nutrients between the roots and leaves. However, they do not transport air. The transport of air in plants is primarily facilitated by stomata, tiny pores on the leaves that allow for gas exchange. 

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What do leaves mostly do?

    • Breathe in Oxygen

    • Breathe in Carbon Dioxide

    • Absorb Water

    • Hold the plant in place

    Correct Answer
    A. Breathe in Carbon Dioxide
    Explanation
    Leaves mostly breathe in carbon dioxide. Leaves have tiny openings called stomata that allow them to take in carbon dioxide from the air. They use this carbon dioxide, along with sunlight and water, to carry out photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, leaves convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose, which is a form of energy that plants use to grow and survive. Therefore, leaves play a crucial role in the exchange of gases, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

    Which part is arrow B pointing to? - ProProfs

    Which part is arrow B pointing to?

    • Flower

    • Stem

    • Seeds

    • Roots

    • Leaves

    Correct Answer
    A. Seeds
    Explanation
    Arrow B is pointing to the seeds.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What do roots do?

    • Absorb water

    • Absorb Nutrients

    • Hold the plants in place

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    Roots have multiple functions in plants. They absorb water from the soil, allowing plants to stay hydrated. They also absorb nutrients from the soil, which are essential for the plant's growth and development. Additionally, roots anchor the plant in the ground, providing stability and preventing it from being easily uprooted or toppled by wind or other forces. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" since roots perform all of these functions.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the role of a flower?

    • Smell good

    • Look pretty

    • To attract pollinators 

    • Make food for the plant

    Correct Answer
    A. To attract pollinators 
    Explanation
    The main objective of flowers is reproduction. In the reproductive cycle, flowers employ their vibrant petals to entice pollinators like insects and animals. These creatures are drawn to the nectar produced by flowers, which is often found in glands at the base of their petals.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 
    What part of the plant is next to letter A? - ProProfs

    What part of the plant is next to letter A?

    • Flower

    • Stem

    • Roots

    • Leaves

    • Seeds

    Correct Answer
    A. Flower
    Explanation
    The flower is next to letter A because flowers are typically located at the top or uppermost part of a plant. They are responsible for reproduction and contain the plant's reproductive organs, such as the stamen and pistil. Flowers are often brightly colored and fragrant to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    When a seed germinates it makes a _________.

    • Seed

    • Flower

    • Seedling

    • Roots

    Correct Answer
    A. Seedling
    Explanation
    When a seed germinates, it begins to grow and develop into a new plant. The first stage of this growth is the emergence of a young plant called a seedling. The seedling is characterized by the presence of a stem, leaves, and roots, which are essential for its survival and further growth. Therefore, the correct answer is seedling.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What is the process in which a plant takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen?

    • Fertilization

    • Germination

    • Photosynthesis

    • Respiration

    Correct Answer
    A. Photosynthesis
    Explanation
    The process in which a plant takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen is called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where the green pigment chlorophyll captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy. 

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which of the following occurs first?

    • Pollination

    • Germination

    • Fertilisation

    • Dispersal

    Correct Answer
    A. Germination
    Explanation
    Germination occurs before pollination, fertilization, and dispersal. Germination is the process by which a seed begins to grow into a new plant. It involves the seed absorbing water and breaking out of its protective seed coat. Once germination occurs, the plant can begin to develop roots, stems, and leaves. Pollination, fertilization, and dispersal happen later in the plant's life cycle. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male to the female reproductive organs of a flower, fertilization is the fusion of the male and female gametes, and dispersal is the spreading of seeds to new locations.
