1. Like other plants, Venus Flytraps gather nutrients from
the soil. However, they live in poor soil and are healthier if
they get nutrients from insects. Once an insect lands in the
“mouth” of a Venus Flytrap, the trap closes and is flooded
with digestive enzymes similar to those in your stomach.
These enzymes break down the insect. These digestive
enzymes could be classified as which biomolecule?
A. Carbohydrates
B. Proteins
C. Lipid
D. Nucleic Acids
2. Cells can generate as many as 36 to 38 molecules of
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from the metabolism of
one molecule of glucose. Which cellular process
results in this amount of ATP production?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Cellular respiration
Protein synthesis
Lysogenic cycle
Photosynthesis
3. Most plant leaves take in more carbon dioxide as light increases.
They give off carbon dioxide if light intensity is too low. The graph
shows a plant’s carbon dioxide levels at different light intensities.
At point X, the rate of which process is equal to the rate
of photosynthesis?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Cellular respiration
Transpiration
Growth
Reproduction
4. Meristematic tissues in plants are composed of cells
specialized for cell division (mitosis). These types of
cells are most likely to be found in what part of the
plant?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Leaf epidermis
Stem tips
Root tips
Both b and c
5. Many vegetables (ex. Carrots and beets) store glucose
made during photosynthesis. Since this type of storage is
underground, they are unable to photosynthesize. When
glucose is transported to the site of storage by phloem,
which two systems are working together?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Root and reproductive
Root and vascular
Vascular and reproductive
Muscular and vascular
6. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs on
the leaves of plants. The carbon dioxide is used to help
harness energy from the sun. Plants use the energy for
many functions. One of which is the production of flowers.
When a plant’s phloem transports glucose to the site of
flower production, the reproductive system is working
primarily with
A.
B.
C.
D.
The root system
The vascular system
The immune system
The muscular system
7. Copper is a micronutrient that can be found in soil. Copper is
important for reproductive growth in plants and plays an indirect
role in chlorophyll production. Which statement correctly
describes the interaction that occurs between the root and the
shoot systems of plants to allow reproduction to occur?
A. Copper is produced in the roots when copper-containing
compounds are hydrolyzed.
B. Copper that is absorbed by the roots is transported to
reproductive tissues by the shoot system.
C. The shoot system stores copper for later use by the roots and the
reproductive structures.
D. The shoot system transports copper to the roots after it is taken in
through stomata in the leaves
8. In most plants roots grow downward while stems grow
upward. Which of the following represents the correct
structure associated with the correct tropism?
A. Roots: Gravitropism & Hydrotropism
Stems: Gravitropism & Phototropism
B. Roots: Phototropism
Stems: Thigmotropism
C. Roots: Gravitropism & Phototropism
Stems: Gravitropism & Hydrotropism
D. None of the above
9. Structures represented in the illustration below are found
in the lower epidermis of a plant leaf. The illustration at
right shows the response to a certain environmental
condition.
The response represented in the illustration would most
likely be caused by —
A.
B.
C.
D.
A reduced supply of oxygen
Long periods of rainfall
High concentrations of glucose
Little available water
