Which helps plants retain water?
cuticle
vascular tissue
leaves
zygotes
The correct answer is the cuticle. The cuticle is a waxy layer that covers the outer surface of plant leaves, stems, and other parts. It acts as a barrier to prevent excessive water loss from the plant, helping it retain water.
Which are low-growing plants that do not have well-developed tubes
for moving water and food through their bodies?
vascular plants
nonvascular plants
aquatic plants
zygotes
The correct answer is nonvascular plants. Nonvascular plants, such as mosses and liverworts, do not have well-developed tubes for moving water and food through their bodies. Instead, they rely on osmosis and diffusion to transport water and nutrients.
Which type of plant reproduces by seeds but does not form flowers or fruits?
angiosperms
seedless plants
nonvascular plants
gymnosperms
The correct answer is gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are a type of plant that reproduces by seeds. However, unlike angiosperms (flowering plants), gymnosperms do not form flowers or fruits. Instead, they produce seeds in cones or similar structures. Examples of gymnosperms include conifers (such as pine trees) and cycads.
