Try a few questions
- Practice question 1
Respiration, in plants, mainly refers to
- A.the process by which plants manufacture food using light energy
- B.the process by which stored food is broken down to release usable energy
- C.the process by which water is lost through a plant's leaves
- D.the process by which a seed germinates
Show the answer
B. the process by which stored food is broken down to release usable energy
Respiration releases energy from food, complementing the food-making process of photosynthesis.
- Practice question 2
After fertilization, the ovule mainly develops into
- A.a root
- B.a leaf
- C.a seed
- D.a stem
Show the answer
C. a seed
The fertilized ovule matures into the seed.
- Practice question 3
Embryo development mainly follows
- A.the initial formation of a flower bud
- B.successful fertilization of the egg cell
- C.the process of pollination alone
- D.the germination of an already-formed seed
Show the answer
B. successful fertilization of the egg cell
