GETTING TO KNOW PLANTS MCQs
:
B
∙ Plants with weak stems that take support on neighboring structures and climb up over them are called as climbers. Example: Grape vine.
∙ Creepers, like climbers, have a weak stem too but they usually spread on the ground. Example: Pumpkin.
:
D
Midrib is the thickest vein present in the middle of the leaf. It separates the lamina into two parts in a dicot leaf. Smaller veins are observed radiating out from the midrib.

A
Fibrous root systems consist of many fine hairlike roots that form a thick mat below the surface. Examples of plants that contain them are grasses, wheat, rice, marigold, maize, banana, millet, bamboo and onions.

Pistil is the innermost part of the flower. It is also the female reproductive part. Stigma, style and ovary are the parts of a pistil. The ovary contains ovule. Ovule contains the female gametes or the egg cells.
:
C
∙ Lamina is the broad part of the leaf. It has veins and veinlets arranged either in a parallel manner or reticulate manner.
∙ Important processes like photosynthesis, respiration occur here.
:
A
Plants prepare food by a process called photosynthesis. The food synthesised is a carbohydrate called glucose. It is transported to other parts of the plant as starch for storage and utilization.

Sprouting is basically a process where seeds and legumes are germinated and eventually eaten raw. When seeds are soaked in water for a certain period of time, they germinate, causing their outer layers to tear open and allowing a young root to come out. Gram seeds absorb water and roots come out of them.

∙ Plants with green and tender stems are called herbs. They are usually short and they do not have many branches.
∙ Some plants develop branches near the base of stem. The stem is hard but not very thick. Such plants are called shrubs.
∙ Some plants are very tall and have hard and thick stem. The stems have branches in the upper part, much above the ground. Such plants are called trees.
∙ Climbers have weak stem and they take support and climb up.

∙ Trees are tall plants with hard and thick brown stem. The stems have branches much above the ground. Eg: Mango tree.
∙ Shrubs are plants with branches near the base of stem. The stem is hard but not very thick. Eg: Rose plant.
∙ Plants with green and tender stems are called herbs. They are usually short and may not have many branches. Eg: Tomato.
∙ Climbers have very weak stem. They take support and climb up other structures. Eg: Money plant.
