This is the difference between monocot and dicot plants.

What is monocots have 1 cotyledon and dicot have 2 cotyledons?

100

These are the powerhouse of the cell.

What are the mitochondria?

100

This is the name for the stem of a tree.

What is the trunk?
100

These are the 4 main needs of plants.

What are air, water, sunlight, and soil?

100

This is the Greek word that means "light." 

What is photo? 

200

This is the difference between tap roots and fibrous roots.

What is Taproot- large main root with root hairs
Fibrous- roots that branch out and do not have 1 main root

200

This is where photosynthesis takes place.

What is the chloroplasts?

200

These are the 4 main parts of a tree.

What are leaves, branches, trunk, and roots?

200

These are the main ways seeds travel. 

What are human/animal/insect; wind, water; self?

200

This is the Greek word that means "to combine/put together."

What is to synthesis?

300

This is the difference between adventitious roots and other types of roots.

What is adventitious roots grow from a part of the plant other than the roots.

300

This is the part of the plant cell that contains DNA.

What is the nucleus?

300

This is the percentage and name of the largest part of a tree.

What is 60% and trunk? 

300

These are the two main categories for types of fruit.

What is dry and fleshy fruit?

300

This is what plants take in from the air.

What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?

400

These are the categories of classification (taxonomy) in order from broadest to most specific.

What is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?

400

These are the main differences between plant and animal cells.

What is plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts which an animal cell does not, and a much bigger vacuole than an animal cell?

400
These are the two different types of trees in Minnesota.

What are coniferous and deciduous trees?

400

These are the functions of the xylem and phloem.

What are 

Xylem- takes the water and minerals from the roots, up the stem, to the leaves and flowers
Phloem- takes sugar and carbohydrates from the leaves to the roots? 

400

This is what happens during photosynthesis.

What is plants take in carbon dioxide through their leaves and water through their roots. These combine to make glucose/sugar that the plant uses as food and then oxygen which it releases back into the air.

500

This is the difference between woody and herbaceous stems.

What is 

  • Woody-harder, live longer, grow taller and wider
  • Herbaceous- green and succulent, short life span, do not grow very tall?
500

These are the 15 parts of a plant cell (according to our model).

What are cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, nucleolus, nuclear envelop, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), ribosomes, golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, peroxisome, vacuole, cytoskeleton?

500

These are reasons why people cut trees down.

What is trees are old, sick, to prevent forest fires, crowded/give new plants room to grow, to burn for fires (cook, warmth), to use to make things (furniture, bats, paper); building material (houses)?

500

These are the 7 main types of fruit and their definitions.

What are dehiscent (split open to release seeds); Indehiscent (do not split open when ripe); Berries (fleshy fruit that contains seeds inside); Drupes (stone fruit- flesh that surrounds a pit); Pomes (fleshy layer with a core); Aggregates (seeds throughout, many carpels); Multiples (cluster of flowers fuse together)?

500

This is the chemical formula for photosynthesis and what is produces. 

6H2O + 6CO2 --> C6H12O+ 6O2
