How are plants different from animals? Plants don’t need air. Plants can make their own food. Plants don’t need energy. Plants can live in many different habitats. of 30

If you continually remove all the green leaves from a plant, it will: die. wilt. grow new shoots. make food from nutrients in the soil. 0% 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

The process of a seed sprouting is: Pollination Fertilization Transpiration Germination 0 of 30

The part of the plant that contains the egg cells is the: Anther Petal Ovary Spore 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Which part of the seed begins to grow first? Seed coat Root Stem Leaf 9

Which seed has the best chance for growing into a healthy plant? A seed that a bird cracks open and eats. A seed that lands near the trunk of a tall, healthy tree. A seed that blows onto a parking lot. A seed that a bird drops in wet soil. 30

Most plants produce many more seeds than will ever become adult plants because: they have many species. many seeds do not survive. some are for the birds. it helps them adapt to their environment. 0% 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Two ways in which plants can reproduce are: 30 forming seeds and germination. forming spores and cloning. forming seeds and spores. forming seeds and branching.

How do seeds travel? Seeds can be carried by wind and water. Animals and insects can move seeds. Some plants explode and scatter their own seeds. All of the above. 0% 30
