Question


Which helps plants retain water?


cuticle

vascular tissue

leaves

zygotes
GPT 3.5
The correct answer is the cuticle. The cuticle is a waxy layer that covers the outer surface of plant leaves, stems, and other parts. It acts as a barrier to prevent excessive water loss from the plant, helping it retain water.

Which are low-growing plants that do not have well-developed tubes
for moving water and food through their bodies?


vascular plants

nonvascular plants

aquatic plants

zygotes
GPT 3.5
The correct answer is nonvascular plants. Nonvascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, do not have well-developed tubes for moving water and food through their bodies. Instead, they rely on osmosis and diffusion to transport water and nutrients.
Which type of plant reproduces by seeds but does not form flowers or fruits?


angiosperms

seedless plants

nonvascular plants

gymnosperms
GPT 3.5
The correct answer is gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are a type of plant that reproduces by seeds. However, unlike angiosperms (flowering plants), gymnosperms do not form flowers or fruits. Instead, they produce seeds in cones or similar structures. Examples of gymnosperms include conifers (such as pine trees) and cycads.
Unlike nonvascular plants, vascular plants are suited to _____ environments.


damp

shady

aquatic

dry
GPT 3.5
The correct answer is dry environments. Unlike nonvascular plants, which are more suited to damp environments, vascular plants have tissues for conducting water and nutrients, allowing them to adapt and thrive in drier environments. They are also capable of regulating water loss through stomata and have adaptations such as roots, stems, and leaves that aid in efficient water absorption and storage.
