Question 2

You need to identify a plant,but it is winter and the leaves have fallen to the ground and mixed with leaves from other plants.The parts of flowers,fruits,and seed leaves of germinating seeds are not available either.Your best clue to identify the plants as a monocot or a eudicot is to

A) inspect the stem for woody bark,as only eudicots have woody tissue. 
B) determine if there are parallel xylem tubes in the stem to identify it as a monocot. 
C) determine if the roots lack phloem and xylem to identify it as a monocot. 
D) cut the stem and if the vascular bundles are in a distinct ring,it is a monocot. 
E) cut the stem and if the vascular bundles are scattered in the stem,it is a monocot.

Question 4

Many homeowners often attempt to transplant bushes and small trees but with limited success.Which statement best describes why they have difficulties with the transplant process?

Accepted Answer

A) Most homeowners pull the bush out without clearing enough of the soil from around the root system.This causes the lateral roots and root hairs to be torn off. 
B) Most homeowners pull the bush out without clearing enough of the soil from around the root system.This causes the branching roots to be torn off. 
C) Most homeowners cut the bush off at the base and don't have any of the root system available. 
D) Most homeowners remove too many of the leaves,not allowing the plant to efficiently run photosynthesis.

Question 7

Considering that leaf stomates have the conflicting functions of allowing gaseous carbon dioxide into the leaf,yet preserving the plant's supply of water,which of the following is (are)reasonable?

Accepted Answer

A) A submerged-water plant would have no stomates. 
B) Tree leaves that orient flat and present the top side to the sun would have most of their stomates on the bottom of the leaf. 
C) Corn,oats,rice,and wheat-all monocots-have relative upright blades with sunlight hitting both sides and would have stomates distributed evenly on both sides. 
D) All of the choices are reasonable. 
E) None of the choices is reasonable,since stomates are found uniformly on all type of leaves.
