Question

Question 9
Question 10
A) A plant is placed near a window. Instead of growing straight up, the plant grows toward the window. What is this plant
demonstrating? (1 point)
dormancy
thigmotropism
gravitropism
phototropism
A) The stem of a plant is experiencing phototropism. Which statement correctly describes the plant’s response? (1 point)
The stem moves toward the light for better photosynthesis.
The stem grows upward because larger cells are growing.
The stem moves away from the light for better photosynthesis.
The stem bends to the sides because there are smaller cells on sides.

 Breaking down food for energy.  Using light to create food.  Releasing water vapor from leaves.

Answer 1

Here are the answers:

Question 9–10
- Plant growing toward the window: phototropism.
- Stem experiencing phototropism: The stem moves toward the light for better photosynthesis.

Question 11–12
- Abiotic factor of a biome: water.
- Plants grow very tall — most likely abiotic description: The biome receives abundant sunlight.

Question 13–14
- Biome with cold temps, partially frozen soil, varying sunlight, mostly snow: tundra.
- "Plants use cellular respiration to convert sunlight into food.": False.

Question 15–16
- (repeat) "Plants use cellular respiration to convert sunlight into food.": False.
- "Flowering plants can respond to changes in light, temperature, and gravity.": True.

Question 17–18
- During photosynthesis, plants use (from the air) CO2 and (from the soil) water — the relevant process: Photosynthesis.
- Match processes to descriptions:
- Breaking down food for energy. → Cellular respiration
- Using light to create food. → Photosynthesis
- Releasing water vapor from leaves. → Transpiration
