are composed of cellulose.
are composed of peptidoglycan.
are composed of chitin.
contain chlorophyll.
15. How does symbiosis benefit the organisms that make up a lichen? (1 point)
Each organism absorbs minerals produced by the other.
It reduces the effect of pollution and other toxic chemicals on both organisms.
It allows the organisms to live in environments where neither could live alone.
One organism eats the other to provide chemicals or nutrients missing from its environment.
16. Plant roots can gain important materials through symbiotic relationships with fungi. What are these associations called? (1 point)
euglenoids
lichens
mycelia
mycorrhizae
17. With rare exceptions, which of the following characteristics do plants share? (1 point)
unicellular
flowering
prokaryotic
autotrophic
18. Which statement describes the sizes of nonvascular and vascular plants? (1 point)
Plants of both groups are about the same size.
Nonvascular plants are typically smaller than vascular plants.
Vascular plants are typically smaller than nonvascular plants.
There are no observable patterns in the sizes of the two groups.
19. What effect did the development of vascular tissue have on plant evolution? (1 point)
The development of vascular tissue allowed plants to grow taller.
The development of vascular tissue allowed plants to colonize wetter environments.
The development of vascular tissue reduced the reliance on water for reproduction.
The development of vascular tissue aided with the dispersal of offspring.
20. The chemical lignin hardens plants' cell walls. What does this allow plants to do? (1 point)
stand upright
exist without water
perform photosynthesis
obtain nitrogen from soil
21. Which group of plants evolved first? (1 point)
angiosperms
gymnosperms
ferns
mosses
22. In gymnosperms, the male gametophytes are produced by pollen cones. What produces the female gametophytes? (1 point)
ovules
seedlings
stamen
pollen tubes
23. The carpel of most flowers is made up of (1 point)
the anther, the style, and the ovary.
the stigma, the style, and the ovary.
the stigma, the stamen, and the style.
the filament, the anther, and the stamen.
24. Cells in plants are specialized into three tissue systems: (1 point)
dermal, vascular, and ground.
xylem, phloem, and apical meristems.
roots, stems, and leaves.
parenchyma, sclerenchyma, and collenchyma.
25. In plants, the vascular tissues of leaves connect to the vascular tissues of stems. What purpose might this serve? (1 point)
to allow the transport of water and other substances
to allow photosynthesis to take place
to enable the plant to survive poor environmental conditions
to allow for gas exchange through the leaf's surface
26. Sugar is produced primarily in the leaves of a plant. Which of the following transports that sugar to other areas of the plant? (1 point)
xylem cells
dermal cells
phloem cells
collenchyma cells

Answer 4

@ElonaSushchik

Answer 5

What test is this? I can go and look in my classes.

Answer 6

its the practice for the Biology review. it is the From Microorganism to Plants Practice for the biology review

Answer 7

@iYuko u still there?

Answer 8

This is a connections academy exam.

Answer 9

yes it is :) a practice

Answer 10

Connections academy are providing you free textbooks and all the lessons you need. You just posted every problem you had in your practice exam. Have you been following along in your chapters and lessons in biology? Have you been attending livelessons and asking questions about them to your teacher? Your teacher will be happy if you ask her/him questions, especially with your practice exam. On Openstudy, we can help you if your struggling with understanding certain questions, other than posting every exam or practice exam questions.

Posting everything in your practice exam ensures that you're not learning in your class and you're not in contact with your teacher. So please, start contacting your teacher and hit the books!

Answer 11

Wish you all the best!

Answer 12

i have already completed the questions till i only have 14 left now, but i am really stuck on one particular question. could u help me with that one instead :)

Answer 13

Which one?

Answer 14

By the way, @iYuko , you can't just give answers to whatever exams you have taken. This is cheating at its finest!

Answer 15

it is number 25

Answer 16

they all sound correct for the choices, but there is not an all above choice, and all of them sound correct.... i am stuck... would u mind helping me with this one?

Answer 17

if i can figure this one out it will help me figure out the others much better :D

Answer 18

u still there? @Zale101

Answer 19

25. In plants, the vascular tissues of leaves connect to the vascular tissues of stems. What purpose might this serve? (1 point)
to allow the transport of water and other substances
to allow photosynthesis to take place
to enable the plant to survive poor environmental conditions
to allow for gas exchange through the leaf's surface

Leaves are attached to the stem by petiole and veins of a leaf and they contain vascular bundles. These vascular bundles are a part of the transport system usually in vascular plants.
