Biology God's Living Creation Quiz on Plant Anatomy

What part of a seed's embryo develops into the new plant's root system?

Adventitious roots grow from the main stem of a plant.

What is the storage region called in a young woody stem that stores water?

The entire fruit that is fleshy and juicy throughout is called a ______.

Match each description with the correct type of simple fruit:

Which of the following is not one of the factors that drives the sap stream?

Endosperm is the tissue that surrounds and nourishes a developing plant embryo.

What type of branching does the pictured tree exhibit?

Branching and Plant Anatomy

Spreading branching is a type of growth pattern observed in some trees, characterized by branches extending outward.
Pith refers to the central storage region in young woody stems, made up of soft, thin-walled cells that store water.
The radicle is the part of a seed's embryo that develops into the root system of the new plant.

Factors Affecting Sap Stream

Secondary growth is not a factor that drives the sap stream, which is influenced by other physiological processes in the plant.

Specialized Root Types

Adventitious roots are specialized roots that develop from unusual areas of a plant rather than from the root system.

Plant Embryo Nourishment

Endosperm is the tissue surrounding and nourishing the developing plant embryo within the seed.

Types of Simple Fruits

Achene: A simple fruit produced by plants in the grass family.
Legume: A type of simple fruit that consists of a pod enclosing several seeds.
Pome: Defined by an outer fleshy layer and an inner papery core.
Berry: A fruit where the entire structure is fleshy and juicy throughout.
Nut: A simple fruit consisting of a seed enclosed in a hard, relatively thick shell, such as acorns.
