Botany questions with verified answers
Adhesion Ans✓✓✓Sticks to other molecules
Adnate Ans✓✓✓Two whorls are said to be this when they are fused
together.
Aerial Roots Ans✓✓✓
Aggregate Fruit Ans✓✓✓Develops from a single flower with many
separate carpels
Ex: Strawberry
Angiosperms Ans✓✓✓-Flowering plants
-3-4,000 in world
-Monocot: lilies, palm trees, grasses, orchids (single common ancestor)
Annuals Ans✓✓✓Entire life cycle takes one growing season.
Anther Ans✓✓✓The sacks at the tip of a stamen. The place where
pollen develops. These usually release their mature pollen through slits.
Aphids and Ants Ans✓✓✓Aphids transport sap
Ants move Aphids around and eat sugar off Aphid
,Apical Meristem Ans✓✓✓Tips of roots and stems that reproduce cells
that differentiate and elongate into three primary tissue types: epidermal,
ground and primary vascular.
Artemisia californica Ans✓✓✓California Sagebrush
Asexual Propagation Ans✓✓✓Vegetative reproduction, all cuttings
from the same plant will have the genetic characteristics of the source
plant.
ATP Ans✓✓✓Adenosine Triphosphate
Universal energy storing molecule
Axillary Bud Ans✓✓✓A bud that grows from the axil of a leaf.
Bark Ans✓✓✓The tough, protective outer sheath of the trunk,

pollinators
Ex: Dogwood flower
Branch Ans✓✓✓A part of a tree that grows out from the trunk or from
a bough.
Buttress Roots Ans✓✓✓
C4 Photosynthesis Ans✓✓✓C4 plants spatially separate carbon fixation
from Calvin Cycle
In C3 plants, Calvin Cycle occurs in mesophyll cells
In C4 plants, happens in bundle sheath cell
In wet climates, C3 plants use less energy to fix CO2
In dry climates, C4 plants have advantage in conserving water and
preventing photorespiration
40% of monocots use it
5% of eudicots use C4
