BIO 152 EXAM 1 WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS 2025
indeterminate growth correct answers >> A type of growth
characteristic of plants, in which the organism continues to grow
as long as it lives.
determinate growth correct answers >> A type of growth
characteristic of most animals and some plant organs, in which
growth stops after a certain size is reached.
Algae correct answers >> a very simple plant without stems
or leaves that grows in or near water.
Charophytes correct answers >> green algae that are the
closest relatives of land plants
sporopollenin correct answers >> A durable polymer that
covers exposed zygotes of charophyte algae and forms the walls
of plant spores, preventing them from drying out.
Bryophytes correct answers >> A moss, liverwort, or
hornwort; a nonvascular plant that inhabits the land but lacks
many of the terrestrial adaptations of vascular plants.
Alternation of generations life cycle correct answers >> Life
cycle, typical of land plants, in which a diploid sporophyte
alternates with a haploid gametophyte.
, benefits of alternation of generations correct answers >>
enables species to use different reproduction mechanisms as
their environmental conditions change
spore correct answers >> A reproductive cell with a hard,
protective coating
gametophyte correct answers >> The stage in the life cycle
of a plant in which the plant produces gametes, or sex cells.
sporophyte correct answers >> Diploid, or spore-producing,
phase of an organism, zygote
Cuticle correct answers >> A waxy covering on the surface of
stems and leaves that acts as an adaptation to prevent drying out
Rhizoids correct answers >> A thin, rootlike structure that
anchors a moss and absorbs water and nutrients.
Embryophytes correct answers >> Another name for land
plants, recognizing that land plants share the common derived
trait of multicellular, dependent embryos.
Stomata correct answers >> Small openings on the
underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can
move
