Campbell Biology in Focus (3rd Edition) - Chapter 028 Quiz
Bank Question & Answers 2023 GRADED A+
Organ correct answers A collection of several types of tissues that together carry out particular functions
Tissue correct answers A group of cells consisting of one or more cell types that together perform a
specialized function
Root System correct answers All of a plant's roots
Shoot System correct answers The stem and leaf portion of a plant
Root correct answers An organ that anchors a vascular plant into the soil, absorbs minerals and water,
and (often) stores carbohydrates
Taproot correct answers A main vertical root that penetrates the soil deeply, allowing the plant to have
more stability
Lateral Roots correct answers Roots that branch off of the taproot, which are largely responsible for
absorption
Fibrous Roots correct answers Thin, interweaving roots that spread out below the soil surface (found in
most monocots)
Adventious correct answers A term used to describe a plant organ growing from an unusual source (i.e.
fibrous root systems arising from stems or leaves)
Root Hairs correct answers Thin, finger-like extensions of root epidermal cells that increase the surface
area of a root
Stem correct answers A plant organ bearing leaves and buds
Nodes correct answers The points at which leaves are attached
Internodes correct answers The stem segments between nodes
Apical Bud correct answers Where most of the growth of a young shoot is concentrated
Axillary Bud correct answers A structure that can potentially form a lateral branch, thorn, or flower,
found in the upper angle formed by each leaf at every node
Rhizome correct answers A horizontal shoot that grows just below the surface, helping to spread the
plant
Stolon correct answers A "runner" horizontal shoot that grows along the surface, allowing a plant to
produce asexually as plantlets grow from axillary buds along each runner
