Plant Behaviors Quiz

What is phototropism?

• The response of plants to gravity

• The movement of plants towards water

• The process of converting light into energy

• The growth of an organism in response to light

Explain how plants exhibit phototropism in response to light.

• Plants exhibit phototropism by growing towards the light source.

• Plants exhibit phototropism by producing a foul odor in response to light.

• Plants exhibit phototropism by turning their leaves black in response to light.

• Plants exhibit phototropism by growing away from the light source.

What is geotropism?

• The response of a plant to the force of gravity

• The study of rocks and minerals

• The process of photosynthesis in plants

• The response of a plant to sunlight

Describe how roots and stems exhibit geotropism in response to gravity.

• They grow in response to water, with roots showing negative geotropism and stems showing positive geotropism.

• They grow in response to gravity, with roots showing positive geotropism and stems showing negative geotropism.

• They grow in response to light, with roots showing positive geotropism and stems showing negative geotropism.

• They grow in response to touch, with roots showing negative geotropism and stems showing positive geotropism.

Provide an example of a plant that demonstrates geotropism and explain its response to gravity.

• Rose

• Sunflower

• Tulip

• Daisy

What is thigmotropism and how does it affect plant growth?

• Thigmotropism has no effect on plant growth

• Thigmotropism causes plants to change color

• Thigmotropism affects plant growth by causing the plant to change its growth pattern in response to physical contact, such as climbing or wrapping around a support structure.

• Thigmotropism makes plants grow taller

Explain how seasonal changes impact the growth and development of plants.

• Seasonal changes impact the growth and development of plants by affecting factors such as temperature, sunlight, and precipitation.

• Seasonal changes impact the growth and development of plants by affecting the rotation of the Earth.

• Seasonal changes impact the growth and development of plants by affecting the migration patterns of birds.

• Seasonal changes impact the growth and development of plants by affecting the price of agricultural products.

How do plants adapt to seasonal changes in their environment?

• Plants adjust their growth, flowering, and fruiting patterns based on factors like temperature, daylight, and water availability.

• Plants migrate to a different location with a more suitable climate

• Plants hibernate during the winter months

• Plants communicate with other plants to determine the best course of action

Describe the role of photoperiodism in seasonal changes and plant growth.

• It has no effect on seasonal changes or plant growth.

• It causes plants to die rather than grow.

• It triggers seasonal changes such as flowering, dormancy, and growth.

• It only affects plant growth, not seasonal changes.
