True or False: Venus Flytraps use insects they trap for food because they get hungry.

Is it false? And why does this remind me of a creature from StarWars?

100

Which of the following are related to plant growth?? Mitosis or Meiosis? 

What on earth is Mitosis?

100

Do plants reproduce sexually, sexually, or both?

The answer is both, isn't it?

(Yep!)

100

What are perfect flowers?

What are flowers with both stamens and carpels?

100

True or false:

All of the listed below are fruits:

-Strawberry

-Cashew

-Peanut 

-Banana

-Pumpkin

-Peas

One of the most important raw materials that a plant needs for biosynthesis is ____________________?

Why do I have a feeling that the answer is Nitrogen?

200

Name at least two plant hormones.

(it can be two of the following)

What are auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene?

200

Once meiosis has occurred, there are four haploid cells. These are commonly referred to as the what?

Is it possible for those four haploid cells to be commonly called the Microspores?
200

What are imperfect flowers?

Would they be flowers with either stamens or carpels, but not both at once?

200

A water strider can walk on water. What in the water enables the strider to do so?

Is cohesion the reason?

300

A plant is wilting. What is currently being neglected in the plant??

What is turgor pressure?

300

What are the mystery group of hormones commonly called?

What are the Florigen?

300

What is the use of pollen?

Does pollen aid the flower in reproduction?

300

What is the purpose of the Embryo Sac in a plant?

Does the Embryo Sac contain the seed of the plant?

300

A pollen sac has 1,000,000 diploid cells prior to the formation of pollen grains. Once the formation is complete, how many pollen grains are there now?

Are there 4,000,000?

400

What is the job of pore spaces in soil?

Do they determine how much water and air the soil can hold?

400

What is the driving force of Phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism?

Would "auxins" be the right answer?

                       (Yep!)

400

Are all plants able to self-fertilize? Depending on the answer, name a plant as an example.

No; maybe corn isn't able to self fertilize?

400

The carpel (or pistil) is composed of what?

What is the stigma, style, and ovary?

400
What does it mean when someone says that a flower is composite? Give an example of a composite flower.

Are composite flowers made of several individual flowers just like the sunflower?

500

True or False:

Some scientists say that the most fertile soil would be a loam consisting of a of 10% gravel, 30% silt, 30% sand, and slightly less than 10% clay, and the remaining 10% should be organic matter.

Would the answer be false?

-------------------------------

They say it should be a tiny amount of gravel, 40% silt, 40% sand, and slightly less than 20% clay. All the rest should be organic matter. 


(According to Wile and Durnell)

What is the difference between Nastic and Tropisms?

Are nastic movements occurring in a preprogrammed direction while the tropism depends on the direction of the stimulus??

500

Does the embryo sac formation process include meiosis, mitosis, none, or both?

Does it include both?

500

Is it possible for a plant to self-fertilize? If so, how?

If the pollen grains produced by the stamen of a flower fertilize the embryo sac in the ovary of the flower on the same plant, will that plant be able to sexually reproduce by itself?

500

If I were to plant a seed too far deep into the ground, what would be the result?

Could it be that the plant's embryo would not get to the surface in time and begin photosynthesis before the endosperm runs out of nutrients? 

Would this mean that it would die of starvation?


(Either one or both will suffice.)
