This essential nutrient is primarily responsible for leaf growth and the green color in plants.

What is nitrogen?

100

The study of plants is called...

What is botany

100

This type of key is used to identify organisms by choosing between two characteristics at each step.

What is a dichotomous key?

100
Name for plants that make flowers that means "seed container."
What is angiosperm
100
Name for the tiny yellow grains of sperm on the anthers of a flower.
What is pollen
200

A deficiency in this nutrient causes plants to have poor root development and purple-colored leaves.

What is phosphorous?

200

This green pigment is responsible for absorbing sunlight in plants.

What is chlorophyll?

200

A dichotomous key helps scientists and students identify organisms based on these.

What are observable characteristics?

200
Name for plants that are not angiosperms that means "uncovered seed."
What is gymnosperm
200
A term we use to describe the process by which a plant pollinates itself.
What is self-pollination
300

This mineral deficiency leads to weak stems and curled leaves in plants.

What is calcium?

300
The branch of science concerned with classification and the process of naming living things.
What is taxonomy
300

When creating a dichotomous key, each choice should lead to this.

What is the next pair of choices or the identification of the organism?

300

These two types of plants can be distinguished by the number of seed leaves or cotyledons.

What are monocots and dicots?

300
The two animal pollinators that are nocturnal
What are moths and bats
400

Plants with this mineral deficiency often exhibit yellowing between veins on older leaves.

What is magnesium?

400

This process occurs in the mitochondria and produces ATP for the plant.

What is cellular respiration?

400

One rule for creating a dichotomous key is that each step should contain this number of choices.

What is two?

400

Nonvascular plants do not have these structures to transport water.

What are xylem and phloem?

400

The animal pollinator that is attracted to the color red.

What is a hummingbird?
500

Explain why a sulfur deficiency might cause stunted growth in plants.

What is poor protein formation and enzyme function?

500

When plants release water vapor through their leaves, it is known as this.

What is transpiration?

500

Dichotomous keys are especially useful for identifying organisms in large, diverse groups because...

What is because they help narrow down options systematically using specific characteristics?

500

Describe two differences between monocots and dicots.

What are: monocots have one cotyledon, parallel veins, and fibrous roots; dicots have two cotyledons, net-like veins, and a taproot?

500
The substance at the bottom of a flower that attracts animals to it. While they are trying to eat this sweet substance, they get pollen on their bodies.
What is nectar
