Multiple Choice skip

1. Axillary bud
   1. Production of non-reproductive leaves, stems and roots
   2. A structure that can form a lateral shoot, commonly called a branch (most are dormant)
   3. Short, do not have an effective transport system
   4. The segments between nodes
   5. Angiosperms and Gymnosperms
2. Root hairs
   1. Two cotyledons, veins usually netlike, vascular bundles arranged in a ring, taproot present, floral part in multiples of 4 or 5
   2. Naked seeds
   3. Greatly increase the plants surface area, short-lived and constantly replaced; thin and tubular extension of a root epidermal cell; contribute little to plant anchorage
   4. Those that extend out from the tap root; multicellular organ
   5. A structure that can form a lateral shoot, commonly called a branch (most are dormant)
3. Internodes
   1. Roots, stems, leaves
   2. Organ consisting of an alternating system of nodes and internodes
   3. Short, do not have an effective transport system
   4. Angiosperms and Gymnosperms
   5. The segments between nodes
4. Angiosperm
   1. Stems and leaves (Depends on the water and minerals absorbed through roots)
   2. Flowering/fruiting plants (reproduction produces flowers)
   3. Greatly increase the plants surface area, short-lived and constantly replaced; thin and tubular extension of a root epidermal cell; contribute little to plant anchorage
   4. Has a long distance transport for materials
   5. A structure that can form a lateral shoot, commonly called a branch (most are dormant)
5. Vegetative Growth
   1. Angiosperms and Gymnosperms
   2. Roots, stems, leaves
   3. Short, do not have an effective transport system
   4. Production of non-reproductive leaves, stems and roots

True or False skip

1. Branch/lateral roots
   Greatly increase the plants surface area, short-lived and constantly replaced; thin and tubular extension of a root epidermal cell; contribute little to plant anchorage

   True   False

2. Cotyledons/embryos
   Greatly increase the plants surface area, short-lived and constantly replaced; thin and tubular extension of a root epidermal cell; contribute little to plant anchorage

   True   False

3. Root
   A multicellular organ that anchors a vascular plant in the soil, absorbs minerals and water, and often stores carbohydrates

   True   False

4. Non-vascular
   All the roots draw back to one point, no root functions as the main one, do not penetrate deeply

   True   False

5. Dicots
   Those that extend out from the tap root; multicellular organ

   True   False
