Getting to Know Plants

A herb is a non-woody plant that has green and tender stems with few branches and is usually short. Mustard is a herb and is the correct choice.

Stamen – is the male reproductive part of the flower.

This is the correct answer. Grass has parallel venation and fibrous root.

This is the correct choice. The pattern of veins on leaves is called venation.

This is correct about photosynthesis. Oxygen is released during photosynthesis.

Yes, it is the correct answer. This is not a function of the stem. Leaves are the food factories of the plants.

These are the male parts of the flower.

Some flowers lack pedicel, or a stem, such flowers are called sessile.

Anthers and filaments – are the male reproductive parts of the flower. These are the two parts of the stamen.

Anthers – Pollen grains are produced in the anthers of the flowers.

Potato – is the correct option. Change in shape and size of stem to perform some special function is called modified stem. Storage of food is the main function of modified stem. Potato, onion and ginger are examples of modified stem.

Pedicel – is the stem of the flower and is not considered a whorl. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Musk melon – This is the correct answer. Musk melon is a uni-sexual flower. Uni-sexual flowers are flowers that have either male or female reproductive parts.

Rose – This is correct as this is a bisexual flower. Flowers that contain both androecium and gynoecium are called androgynous or hermaphroditic. Mostly plants with large showy flowers are bisexual flowers.

This is the correct answer. All the statements are correct. Sugarcane plant has fibrous roots. The shoot system develops from the plumule of the embryo. The stem is divided into nodes and internodes and it bears axillary buds and apical buds.

This is the correct option as node is the point on the stem from where the leaves and branches arise. The portion of the stem that is between the nodes is called inter-node.

This is correct. The roots of cactus go deep underground and the leaves get modified into spines to undertake the process of photosynthesis.

This statement is incorrect. The tips of filaments are called anthers.

In some flowers one or more whorls are missing. Such flowers are called incomplete flowers. Mulberry is an incomplete flower.

This is the correct answer as oxygen is created during the process of photosynthesis.

A number of roots arising in a cluster below the stem and spreading out in the soil is a fibrous root system. Wheat has a fibrous root system.

Marigold has a tap root system.

This is the incorrect statement. Stamen is the male reproductive part of the flower. It does not form ovule. Stamen consists of anthers and filaments.

This is the correct choice as this statement is incorrect. The cactus stores water in its stem.

This is the correct option as all the statements are correct.

This is the correct matching. The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil. The stem helps in carrying the water and minerals to the different parts of the plant.  Leaves carry on the process of photosynthesis.

This is the correct matching. Shrubs have many stems emerging from root. Trees are woody single stem that forms branches. Climbers take support of neighboring structure. Creepers can not stand upright and spreads on ground. Herbs have weak, soft stem not able to stand.

This is the correct matching. Pollen grains are produced in the anthers. Stomata is present on the leaf. Fibrous roots are the roots of equal size in a cluster.

This is correct. Leaves perform all these functions.

This is the correct choice. Roots, stem and leaves are the vegetative parts of a plant body.

This is the correct choice as the flowers, fruits and seeds are the reproductive parts of the plant body.
