Question

HELP PRE-TEST QUESTION !

Describe the function of the structure pictured below.



© 2011 FLVS

Asexual reproduction

Spore production

Sexual reproduction

Water absorption

Answer 1

this is the image

Answer 2

I could be wrong but looks like a root. It draws water and nutriants from the soil to the top of the plant.

Answer 3

i was thinking either A or D

Answer 4

@hba

Answer 5

D

Answer 6

Im sorry I havent taken biology yet. Im not sure :/

Answer 7

I can help you with this question. @SpaceTrooper_ , I take it you don't completely understand some of the terms in this question?

Answer 8

Yes im stuck in betwen two choices A nd B

Answer 9

That's perfectly fine. :) Choices A and B are actually incorrect, because the structures associated with asexual reproduction and spore reproduction are not shown in the picture (those structures are above ground, and commonly located on the flowers of the plant). C is also incorrect, and you were right in eliminating it. The structures shown are indeed roots, and those are used for plant water absorption, as well as minerals and other things. Does this make sense?

Answer 10

i meant A nd D like i said above ^ sorry

Answer 11

Oh, well then, reading the above explanation, you have your answer! Great work. :)

Answer 12

actaully it makes much sense and for that i am grateful .

Answer 13

@tafkas77 can you help me check if my answers are correct ? ill place the question with the choices and above the question ill place my answer ?

Answer 14

Yes, I definitely can. :)

Answer 15

Which characteristic could help you distinguish between plants and fungi?

The color of the organism

The hyphae structures in the organism

The growing location of the organism

The spores made by the organism

Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)



How do fungi differ from plants?

Fungi are heterotrophic organisms but plants are not.

Fungi contain vascular tissues but plants do not.

Fungi have cell walls of cellulose but plants have walls of chitin.

Fungi are autotrophic organisms but plants are not.

Answer 16

the first one i put B
and second choice is A

Answer 17

For this one i put "A"
#3 Identify the fungus type pictured below.



Public Domain

Sac fungi

Zygote fungi

Club fungi

Imperfect fungi

Answer 18

this is the last one
I put "D"
#4 Which scenario describes fungi as a decomposer?

Mushrooms used on a pizza

Bacteria growing inside a fungus

Fungus used to make antibiotics

Fungus growing on dead leaves

Answer 19

@tafkas77 Tell me what you think about all 4

Answer 20

I am now reviewing your questions. Would you like me to go one by one or group all of the questions into one post?

Answer 21

one by one

Answer 22

Okay; for question one:

You chose answer choice B, which is absolutely correct! Hyphae structures are exclusive to fungi. Botanists and other plant scientists use hyphae to distinguish species of fungi from each other. Great work!

Answer 23

great!

Answer 24

For your second question, you chose choice A. This answer is incorrect. Heterotrophy is the act of an organism getting nutrients from another organism (basically, eating another). Now it may seem that plants are NOT heterotrophic, because they get their food source from the sun (that means they are chemotrophic) but remember there are some plants, like the Venus flytrap, which actually eat other organisms for food. Do you see another option that appeals to you, or would you like me to walk you through the rest of this one?

Answer 25

walk me through this one please

Answer 26

Okay. So, we know that A is wrong. Let's take a look at B, which is ALSO wrong. :) Vascular tissues are basically plant veins, which makes this answer choice a nonsense answer. The vascular tissues allow the plant to transfer water and minerals throughout the plant, much like our veins allow us to transfer blood throughout our bodies. Answer choice B says that plants DON'T have this crucial function, which is not true. Does that make sense?

Answer 27

it certainly does

Answer 28

Great! Now to answer choices C and D. For answer choice C, it tells you that plant cells are made with chitin, which isn't true. Plant cells are made with cellulose, not chitin, so this is also a nonsense answer. For answer choice D, I already explained that plants are chemotrophic. So this is the only answer that makes sense. At least, I hope it does to you! :)

Answer 29

(Sorry it took me so long, had to give my dog a treat. :) )

Answer 30

yes i read and everything it all makes perfect sense

Answer 31

Great! I am glad that I was able to help you out with that one. You're okay to move on?

Answer 32

is this high school bio?

Answer 33

I think that OpenStudy is experiencing lag, so I'll go ahead and explain the fungi question now. Unlike the others, I can't really give you a definition analysis, because this is about fungi recognition. For future reference, zygote fun is a fuzzy, fluffy, whitish-green fungus that grows on rotting food. The other types of fungi mentioned are sac fungi (ex. yeast and truffles), club fungi (ex. mushrooms) and imperfect fungi (think athlete's foot). Does that help?

Answer 34

yes

Answer 35

*zygote fungi

Answer 36

so what do you think number #3 and #4 is ?

Answer 37

Number three is zygote fungi, according to my definition above. And your answer for number four was correct. :)

Answer 38

I hope this helped you in your understanding. I realize that sometimes biology can be a little challenging, but personally I think the best approach is to look at it piece by piece. Are you taking an advanced biology course?

Answer 39

no regular i refused to get honors lol

Answer 40

Hehe, that's fine. :) You have to take what will get you the best grade, you know? I was asking so i'd know which way to help you best. Well, if you ever need anymore help, feel free to mention me when I'm online! For now I have to go. Have a great day! ~Taffy
