Plant Biology and Classification Questions

Multiple choice
  1. Yeasts

  2. Dryopteris

  3. Funaria

  4. Rhizopus

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In Funaria, the spores are green and contain chloroplasts, which allows them to begin photosynthesis immediately upon germination.

Multiple choice
  1. Nepenthes

  2. Utricularia

  3. Dionaea

  4. Monotropa

D Correct answer
Explanation

Monotropa (Indian pipe) is a non-photosynthetic plant that obtains nutrients from decaying organic matter, making it a saprophyte. Nepenthes, Utricularia, and Dionaea are insectivorous plants.

Multiple choice
  1. Non vascular cryptogams

  2. Non vascular embryophytes

  3. Vascular cryptogames

  4. Vascular embryophytes

A Correct answer
Explanation

Bryophytes are also called non vascular cryptogams because vascular tissues are absent in them.Bryophyte is a traditional name used to refer to all embryophytes (land plants) that do not have true vascular tissue and are therefore called "non-vascular plants".Some bryophytes do have specialized tissues for the transport of water. Since these do not contain lignin, they are not considered to be true vascular tissue.  

Multiple choice
  1. Phylum

  2. Class

  3. Kingdom

  4. Series

C Correct answer
Explanation

Kingdom is the largest unit of biological classification. In the animal kingdom, the term phylum is used instead of division , in the plant kingdom.

Multiple choice
  1. Plant body is either leafy or thalloid.

  2. Flagelleted male gametes

  3. presence of cuticle

  4. multicellular sporangia

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Pteridophytes differ from bryophytes in having plant body is either leafy or thalloid.Plant body is differentiated into root, stem and leaves The cells in plant body are diploid.

Multiple choice
  1. Presence of Archegonia

  2. Presence of jacketed sex-organs

  3. Water is essential for fertilization

  4. Independent sporophyte

D Correct answer
Explanation

In bryophytes the sporophyte is attached and dependent upon the gametophyte for nutrition i.e. is parasitic on the gametophyte.
