Study Guide 2025- 2026. Questions with 100% Correct
and Verified Answers .
GRADED A+.
Describe the process of mitosis & Meiosis and include the stages of Mitosis -
CORRECT>> mitosis- genetically identical; daughter cells.
meiosis- genetically different; gamates
Stages of mitosis & meiosis -CORRECT>> Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,
Telophase,
Interphase
Describe the function of photosynthesis, transpiration, & cellular respiration. -
CORRECT>> photosynthesis- makes food, sun, h20, co2, creates sugars &
starches transpiration- loss of water from plant cell respiration- releasing energy
List & define 8 types of land classification -CORRECT>> 1-4 cultivate (1 is best, can
farm on) 5-8 grazing (only for
animals)
what is soil texture vs soil structure & list the soil particles in order of particle size- large
to small -CORRECT>> soil texture- % of sand, silt, clay
soil structure - arrangement of particles
Separate the 17 essential plant nutrients into macro & micro, make sure t indicate which
three are the most important -CORRECT>> macro: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium,
Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Calcium, Sulfur, Magnesium.
Micro: Maganese, Molybdenum, Chlorine, Copper, Boron, Zink, Nickel, Iron
what is the most important nutrient's main purpose for the plant? -CORRECT>>
Nitrogen; helps to make the plant green (chlorophyll)
Describe the following propagation methods of air layering, tissue culture, stem cuttings,
leaf cuttings, root cuttings, & seeds. -CORRECT>> Air layering is a method of
propagating new trees and shrubs from stems still attached to the parent plant. The
stem is wrapped with damp moss to encourage roots to form.
, Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells,
tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known
composition. It is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as
micropropagation.
Stem cuttings: It involves taking a section of stem from a parent plant and manipulating
it to create a new plant.
leaf cuttings: stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems
root cuttings: the portion of root is cut from a parent plant (often called a mother plant),
placed in a growing medium, and then left to grow its own system of roots and stems.
seeds: is the method of plant propagation (multiplying, reproducing, or breeding new
plants) that is done through the use of seeds.
What is germination vs propagation -CORRECT>> germination- seed
sprouts propagation- growing
plants
Describe asexual plant propagation & sexual plant propagation. -CORRECT>>
asexual: cuttings, layering, division, buddings, & grafting
sexual:involves the union of the pollen (male) with the egg (female) to produce a seed
Breakdown the spermatophyta category of plants & describe each sub level.
CORRECT>> Gymnosperm- cones, naked seeds
Angiosperm- Flower parts (monocotyledons- first leaf, parallel veins, non-woody flowers
* 3) (dicotyledons- netted veins, woody, flowers *4 or 5).
describe the vascular system of a monocotyledon & dicotyledon -CORRECT>>
monocot- vascular
bundles
dicot- organized
What are the 3 vegetative parts of the plant & what are their main function? -
CORRECT>> leaf-
photosynthesis stem-support
root- water/ nutrients
what are the two types of roots? -CORRECT>> tap & fibrous
list & describe 5 modified stems -CORRECT>> Tuber: eyes, food storage,
propagation (growing plants), underground
Rhizome(turf grass, ginger): underground horizontal stem, food
storage bulb: with bulblets, underground, food storage bulb with
leaves: underground, food storage
cladophyl: stem that goes through photosynthesis, above ground stolon(
golf course grass): above ground, horizontal stem, photosynthesis
