Question 7

The cortex found in the center of a dicot stem or a monocot root is made of what type of tissue?
A)ground tissue
B)epithelial tissue
C)vascular tissue
D)dermal tissue

Accepted Answer

The cortex in the center of a dicot stem or a monocot root is primarily composed of ground tissue, which includes parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells.

Question 8

Which statement is NOT true of the epidermis of a plant?
A)The epidermis covers the entire body of a herbaceous plant.
B)Guard cells are specialized epidermal cells found on root surfaces.
C)The epidermis is impervious to gas exchange.
D)Root hairs increase the surface area of epidermal cells on roots.
E)Cork cells replace epidermal cells on older woody plants.

Accepted Answer

Guard cells are specialized epidermal cells found on the surfaces of leaves and stems, not roots. They are involved in gas exchange by regulating the opening and closing of stomata.

Question 9

Which of these plant tissue types is composed of cells with primary walls thickened at the corners that provide support for immature parts of the cell body?
A)xylem
B)phloem
C)collenchyma
D)sclerenchyma
E)parenchyma

Accepted Answer

Collenchyma is a plant tissue composed of elongated cells with irregularly thickened primary cell walls, providing structural support to growing parts of the plant.

Question 10

All of the following are specialized epidermal cells EXCEPT
A)root hairs.
B)trichomes.
C)collenchyma.
D)guard cells.

Accepted Answer

Collenchyma is not a specialized epidermal cell. It is a type of supporting tissue found in plants.

Question 11

Label the leaf arrangements as opposite,whorled,or alternate.  A.________
B.________
C.________

Accepted Answer

The answer of Label the leaf arrangements as opposite,whorled,or alternate....

Question 12

In large woody plants,the wood is essentially made of ________ and the bark is essentially made of ________.
A)xylem; phloem and cork
B)vascular tissue; epidermal tissue
C)the cortex; the epidermis
D)pith; collenchyma

Accepted Answer

In large woody plants, the wood is primarily composed of xylem, which is responsible for water and nutrient transport. The bark is made up of phloem, which transports sugars, and cork, which provides protection.

Question 13

Which of these plant tissue types most closely corresponds to the "typical" unspecialized plant cell?
A)xylem
B)phloem
C)collenchyma
D)sclerenchyma
E)parenchyma

Accepted Answer

Parenchyma cells are the most common and versatile type of plant cells, often considered the "typical" unspecialized plant cells, involved in photosynthesis, storage, and tissue repair.

Question 14

Which of these vascular tissue cells is alive but lacks a nucleus?
A)tracheid
B)sieve-tube members
C)vessel element
D)companion cell

Accepted Answer

Sieve-tube members are alive but lack a nucleus.

Question 15

Which of these plant tissue types is composed of sieve-tube members and companion cells,and transports organic nutrients made in the leaves?
A)xylem
B)phloem
C)collenchyma
D)sclerenchyma
E)parenchyma

Accepted Answer

Phloem is the plant tissue responsible for transporting organic nutrients, particularly sugars, from the leaves to other parts of the plant. It is composed of sieve-tube members and companion cells.

Question 16

Which of these plant tissue types is composed of hollow nonliving tracheids and vessel elements that transport water and nutrient minerals from the roots to the leaves?
A)xylem
B)phloem
C)collenchyma
D)sclerenchyma
E)parenchyma

Accepted Answer

Xylem is the plant tissue responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves, and it is composed of hollow, nonliving tracheids and vessel elements.

Question 17

Using the word bank,name the labeled structures.Briefly describe their function (shoot system,root system,terminal bud,internode,node,stem,axillary bud,leaf,petiole).  A.________

All of the following are taproots that are consumed as vegetables EXCEPT
A)carrots.
B)celery.
C)turnips.
D)radishes.

Celery is not a taproot. It is a fibrous root.

Question 19

In older woody plants,the epidermis of the stem is replaced by
A)trichomes.
B)tracheids.
C)collenchyma.
D)periderm.

Accepted Answer

In older woody plants, the epidermis is replaced by the periderm, which is a protective tissue that includes the cork, cork cambium, and phelloderm.

Question 20

Which of the following tissues transports water and nutrients within the plant?
A)epidermal tissue
B)ground tissue
C)meristematic tissue
