Sample Questions from Morphology of Flowering Plants
Here are 10 sample questions. Start a quiz to get randomized questions with scoring.
Q1
Easy
Which part of the root is primarily responsible for the absorption of water and minerals?
A.
Root Cap
B.
Root Hair
C.
Cortex
D.
Endodermis
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Root hairs are specialized epidermal cells that increase the surface area for absorption, making them the primary site for water and mineral uptake.
Q2
Easy
The region of the root responsible for cell division is called:
A.
Mature Zone
B.
Meristematic Zone
C.
Differentiation Zone
D.
Elongation Zone
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
The Meristematic Zone contains actively dividing cells, leading to root growth and development.
Q3
Easy
What is the primary role of the root cap?
A.
Photosynthesis
B.
Protection of root meristem
C.
Storage of nutrients
D.
Water absorption
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
The root cap protects the delicate meristematic tissue behind it as the root pushes through the soil.
Q4
Medium
Which type of root system is characterized by a primary root that grows larger and deeper than the lateral roots, typically found in dicotyledonous plants?
A.
Fibrous root system
B.
Tap root system
C.
Adventitious root system
D.
Prop root system
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
The tap root system features a prominent primary root that grows deeper into the soil, providing stability and access to water. This is typical of many dicots, distinguishing it from the fibrous root system where roots are similarly sized and spread out.
Q5
Medium
What is the primary function of roots in plants?
A.
Photosynthesis
B.
Nutrient absorption
C.
Reproduction
D.
Support for leaves
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Roots primarily absorb water and nutrients from the soil, which are essential for the plant's growth and metabolic processes.
Q6
Medium
Which type of root system is characterized by a single main root with smaller lateral roots?
A.
Fibrous root system
B.
Adventitious root system
C.
Tap root system
D.
Aerial root system
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
The tap root system features one prominent main root that grows deep into the soil, with smaller roots branching off, typical of many dicots.
Q7
Medium
Which structure in the root is responsible for the uptake of water and nutrients?
A.
Root cap
B.
Root hairs
C.
Cortex
D.
Endodermis
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Root hairs increase the surface area for absorption, enhancing the plant's ability to take up water and nutrients from the soil.
Q8
Hard
Which of the following structures is primarily responsible for the absorption of water and nutrients in roots?
A.
Root hairs
B.
Primary root
C.
Lateral roots
D.
Root cap
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Root hairs are tiny extensions of root epidermal cells that increase the surface area for absorption, making them the primary site for water and nutrient uptake.
Q9
Hard
What type of root system is typically found in monocots?
A.
Tap root system
B.
Fibrous root system
C.
Adventitious root system
D.
Tuberous root system
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Monocots generally develop a fibrous root system, characterized by many thin roots emerging from the base of the stem, rather than a single prominent tap root.
Q10
Hard
If a plant is exposed to high levels of salt in the soil, what physiological response might occur in its roots?
A.
Increased water uptake
B.
Decreased osmotic potential
C.
Root hair proliferation
D.
Reduced growth of root cells
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: D
High salinity causes osmotic stress, leading to reduced growth of root cells as they struggle to maintain water and nutrient uptake, ultimately impacting the plant's health.
