BOTANY MIDTERM EXAM

Tissues are groups of cells that perform similar specialisation, possess similar structures, and perform specific function. In plants, there are two types of tissues. Which of the following choices are the two types of plant tissues?

• meristematic and epithelial tissues
• permanent and meristematic tissues
• epithelial and permanent tissues
• cambium and meristematic tissues

The following are the three categories of Permanent Tissues, except.

• Epidermal Tissue
• Ground Tissue
• Vascular Tissue
• Lateral Meristems

The word meristematic in the meristematic tissues comes from the word "meristos" which means...

• divided
• non divided
• separated
• covered

A plant is experiencing difficulty in transporting water from the roots to the leaves. Which type of plant tissue is most likely affected?

• Phloem
• Xylem
• Parenchyma
• Collenchyma

A botanist observes a plant with thickened, supportive stems. Which type of ground tissue is primarily responsible for this characteristic?

• Parenchyma
• Sclerenchyma
• Collenchyma
• Meristematic

A plant shows signs of nutrient transport issues. Which plant tissue is likely malfunctioning?

• Xylem
• Phloem
• Epidermis
• Cortex

A gardener wants to encourage new growth in a plant. Which type of tissue should be most active for this purpose?

• Sclerenchyma
• Parenchyma
• Collenchyma
• Meristematic

A researcher is studying the flexibility of plant stems. Which type of ground tissue is most likely being examined?

• Sclerenchyma
• Parenchyma
• Collenchyma
• Meristematic

A plant exhibits strong, rigid support structures. Which type of ground tissue provides this rigidity?

• Parenchyma
• Collenchyma
• Sclerenchyma
• Meristematic

A gardener notices that the tips of the plant's roots and shoots are growing longer. This type of growth is referred to as:

• Secondary growth
• Tertiary growth
• Primary growth
• Apical growth
