Question
7. Suppose a young flowering plant has lost all of its flowers and they do not grow back. How will this most likely affect the plant's life cycle?
The plant will not be able to reproduce, because flowers contain all of the plant's seeds.
The plant will not undergo photosynthesis, because chlorophyll is located only in the flowers.
The plant will have a regularly functioning life cycle, because flowers are mainly decorative structures.
The plant will have a long life cycle, because it will have more energy to use as food rather than to use for growing flowers.
The plant will not be able to reproduce, because flowers contain all of the plant's seeds.

The correct answer is: **The plant will not be able to reproduce, because flowers contain all of the plant's seeds.**
Flowers are essential for reproduction in flowering plants (angiosperms) as they are involved in the processes of pollination and seed production. If a plant loses all of its flowers and they do not grow back, it will likely not be able to produce seeds, which impacts its ability to reproduce and complete its life cycle. The other options are incorrect as they misrepresent the roles of flowers and plant functions.
