Unit 4 Test Review – Taxonomy/Kingdoms with a focus on the Kingdom Plantae
Directions: Use your notes from unit 3 and 4 to complete the following questions. Remember this
should not be the focus of your study. Use your Unit 4 unit plan to guide your studying.
Plant Characteristics:
1) Plant cells have a true nucleus, therefore they are: Eukaryotic
2) Plants are composed of more than one cell, therefore they are: multicellular
3) Plants can make their own food during photosynthesis, therefore they are: Autotrophic
4) Plants have cell walls composed of: Cellulose
Station 1: Angiosperms
stigma
Label the diagram with the words below:
anther
Sepal
stamen
filament
Petal
carpel
style
Ovary
ovule
Filament
Anther
Ovary
petals
Ovule
Style Stigma
pedicle
sepals
Pedicle
Answer the following questions:
1) Generally angiosperms are known as flowering plants.
2) The stamen is the male reproductive part of the flower and consists of anther and filament.
3) The carpel is the female reproductive part of the flower and consists of stigma, style & ovary.
4) Is the angiosperm pictured above a monocot or a dicot? dicot How do you know? It has five
flower petals and the leaves look like the venation is parallel.
Station 2: Taxonomy & Kingdoms
1) Which 2 are most closely related? Dandelion and Live Oak
How do you know? They belong to the same Class, Phylum and Kingdom.
2) Write the scientific name for the Dandelion: Taraxacum officinale or Taraxacum officinale
3) What is the smallest group (taxon) to which the Dandelion belongs? species
1) Archaebacteria
2) Protista
3) Plantae
4) Bacteria are Prokaryotic
1) Which 2 are most closely related? Organisms 2 and 3
How do you know? They are in all the same Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order & Family
2) Write the scientific name for organism #3: Felis domesticus or Felis domesticus
3) What is the largest group (taxon) to which all three organisms belong?
Kingdom
Station 3: Roots, Leaves and Cones
Part 1: Roots
Draw and label the roots at the station, then answer the following questions:
1) Which type of angiosperm has tap roots? Dicot
2) Which type of angiosperm has fibrous roots? Monocot
3) Which type of root is more efficient at erosion control? Fibrous Why? Because they are
closer to the soil and there are lots of them.
4) Which type of root is harder to pull out of the ground? Taproot Why? Because they are long
single roots that extend all the way deep below the surface of the soil.
Part 2: Leaves
Draw and label the leaves at this station and then answer the following questions:
dicot
monocot
5) Which type of angiosperm has leaves with parallel venation? monocot
6) Which type of angiosperm has leaves with netlike (branching) venation? dicot
7) Where does the majority of photosynthesis take place? leaves
Explain why: broader surface to receive sunlight, more chloroplasts
8) List the function of the following:

Cuticle: prevent water loss

Stomata: gas exchange takes place here

Guard cells: control opening and closing of stomata
Part 3: Cones
Draw and label the cones at this station and then answer the following questions:
Female
Male
9) What class of plant are you observing? Conifers
10) Conifers have unique leaves called needles which function to prevent water loss.
11) What does gymnosperm mean? Naked seed
Station 4: Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic
Label the Venn Diagram with the correct words that go in each circle:
Nucleus
No nucleus
Cell walls found

Multicellular
Ribosomes

Station 5: Dichotomous Key

1.
Broadus plainus
2. Broadus hairus
3.
Broadus tritops
4.
Broadus archus

Tomato, Bell Pepper
seeds
Seeds

Peanuts
Bryophytes
1) What are Bryophytes? Non-vascular plants
2) How do bryophytes differ from tracheophytes? Bryophytes do not have xylem & phloem and
Tracheophytes do have xylem & phloem.
3) How does this affect their ability to conduct water? Water is conducted through the process
of osmosis.
4) Because bryophytes lack vascular tissue how does this affect the habitat is which they can grow
and survive? They must live in a wet, moist environment which affects their ability to
grow tall.
Angiosperms – Flowering Plants
1) What are two evolutionary advantages of angiosperms? Flowers (which attract pollinators
for seed dispersal) and Fruit to protect those seeds.
2) What is a flower? The reproductive structure of a plant
3 What is a fruit? The ripened ovary of a flower that protects the seeds.
Vascular Tissue:
1) How do xylem and phloem differ? Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to
the rest of the plant while Phloem transports food made in the leaves to the rest of the
plant.
2) Which type of angiosperm contains vascular tissue arranged irregularly (when viewing a stem
cross section)? monocot
3) Which type of angiosperm contains vascular tissue arranged in a ring (when viewing a stem
cross section)? dicot
Plant Responses
1)
Which plant response is illustrated in this picture? Explain.
Phototropism because the plant is clearly bending toward
the sunlight.
2)
Which plant response is illustrated in this picture? Explain.
Thigmotropism because the plant is touching or growing
around the pole.
3)
Which plant response is illustrated in this picture? Explain.
Gravitropism because even though the pot in which it is
growing in is sideways, the plant continues to grow
upward toward the force of gravity.
