Botany and Plant Biology Quiz

Roots primarily absorb nutrients from the soil.

The anther is the part of the flower where pollen is produced.

Carbon dioxide is the primary gas used in photosynthesis.

The cuticle acts as a waterproof barrier, reducing water loss from leaves.

The flower produces seeds through sexual reproduction.

Stomata regulate gas exchange, facilitating photosynthesis.

Ethylene is crucial for fruit ripening.

Transpiration is the movement of water from roots to leaves.

Roots anchor plants and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Mycorrhizal associations increase the surface area of roots, aiding water absorption.

The carpel contains the female reproductive structures of the flower.

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose.

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in chloroplasts.

Xylem primarily transports water and minerals from roots to the rest of the plant.

Succulent tissues store water, reducing water loss in arid conditions.

Phloem transports sugars produced in photosynthesis to various parts of the plant.

Ethylene inhibits stem elongation, controlling plant growth.
