16. What do plants need to make their own food?
Plants need sunlight to perform photosynthesis and make their own food.
17. Which of the following is not a plant?
An elephant is an animal, not a plant.
18. How do plants get water from the ground?
Plants absorb water from the ground through their roots using a process called osmosis.
19. Which part of the plant is responsible for absorbing sunlight?
Leaves have chlorophyll that helps in capturing sunlight for photosynthesis.
20. What is the function of a plant's roots?
Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil for the plant's growth and development.
21. Which gas do plants absorb during photosynthesis?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.
22. What is the main purpose of a plant's flowers?
The main purpose of a plant's flowers is to attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds for reproduction.
23. How do plants help in maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis, helping in maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
24. Which part of the plant is responsible for holding it in place in the soil?
Roots anchor the plant in the soil and provide support for the plant's growth.
25. How do plants reproduce?
Plants reproduce through seeds that are dispersed by wind, water, animals, or other means.
26. Which part of a plant absorbs sunlight to convert into energy?
Leaves are the main organs of photosynthesis in plants, where sunlight is absorbed and converted into energy.
27. Which of the following is not a type of plant?
Lion is an animal, not a plant. The other options are all types of plants.
28. What is the process through which plants make their food?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
29. Which part of a plant anchors it into the soil and absorbs water and nutrients?
Roots are responsible for anchoring the plant into the soil and absorbing water and nutrients for its growth.
30. Which of the following is a flowering plant?
Sunflower is a flowering plant that produces seeds within a flower structure.
31. What is the primary function of flowers in plants?
Flowers are the reproductive organs of flowering plants, where pollination occurs to produce seeds for reproduction.
32. Which part of a plant is responsible for transpiration and gas exchange?
Leaves are essential for transpiration, the process of water evaporation from the plant, and gas exchange, where carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged.
33. Which plant is commonly grown for its edible fruit in Kenya?
The Banana plant is commonly grown in Kenya for its edible fruit, which is a staple food for many people.
34. What is the purpose of stems in plants?
Stems are responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant, connecting the roots to the leaves.
35. Which of the following is a non-flowering plant?
Ferns are non-flowering plants that reproduce via spores, unlike flowering plants that reproduce through flowers and seeds.
36. What is the first stage of a plant's life cycle?
Germination is the initial stage of a plant's life cycle where a seed sprouts and begins to grow into a seedling.
37. Which part of a plant is primarily responsible for storing food?
Fruits are the reproductive structures of plants that often store food reserves for the developing seeds within.
38. What is the function of roots in plants?
Roots anchor the plant into the soil for stability and absorb water and nutrients from the soil for the plant's growth and development.
39. Which plant is known for its prickly and water-storing adaptations?
Cacti are plants adapted to arid environments, with prickly stems for protection and water-storing tissues to survive in dry conditions.
40. What is the name for the female reproductive organ of a flower?
The pistil is the female reproductive organ of a flower, containing the ovary, style, and stigma where pollen is received and seeds are developed.
41. Which part of the plant protects the flower bud before it blooms?
Sepals are leaf-like structures that protect the flower bud before it blooms, serving as a protective layer for the developing flower.
42. What is the purpose of the fruit in a plant?
Fruits in plants serve as structures for seed dispersal and reproduction, often containing seeds for the next generation of plants.
43. Which part of a plant is responsible for producing seeds?
Flowers are the reproductive structures of plants where pollination occurs to produce seeds for future plant growth and reproduction.
44. What is the name for a plant that lives for more than two years and produces seeds?
Perennial plants live for more than two years and produce seeds, unlike annual plants that complete their life cycle in one year.
45. Which plant is known for its long, woody stem and height?
Trees are characterized by their tall, woody stems (trunks) that support branches and leaves, growing to great heights compared to other plants.
46. What is the function of chlorophyll in plant leaves?
Chlorophyll is a pigment that captures sunlight energy in plant leaves, essential for photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy for the plant.
47. Which part of a plant is responsible for seed dispersal?
Fruits in plants often serve as structures for seed dispersal, allowing seeds to be spread and germinate in new locations for plant growth.
48. What is the primary function of plant roots?
Roots anchor the plant into the soil for stability and absorb water and nutrients from the soil for the plant's growth and development.
49. Which plant is known for its thick fleshy leaves and spines for water storage?
Cacti are plants adapted to arid environments, with thick fleshy stems and spines for water storage and protection in dry conditions.
50. What is the purpose of plant stems?
Stems are responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant, connecting the roots to the leaves for growth and development.
51. Which plant is known for its showy flowers and fragrance?
Roses are flowering plants known for their showy flowers and fragrance, often cultivated for ornamental purposes and gardens.
