Plant Adaptations starts at 6 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Plant Adaptations.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe how leaf abscission is an adaptation to seasonal changes.
Describe how parasitic plants obtain nutrients.
Describe how root adaptations help plants in nutrient-poor soils.
Describe one adaptation of plants to low-light environments in forests.
Describe two structural adaptations of hydrophytes that help them survive in aquatic environments.
Explain how CAM photosynthesis is an adaptation to arid environments.
Explain how leaf orientation can be an adaptation to reduce water loss.
A scientist observes that a certain plant species in a saline marsh has specialized cells that actively pump salt out onto the leaf surface, where it crystallizes. Explain how this adaptation benefits the plant in its environment.

Plants that complete their life cycle rapidly after rainfall in deserts are called __________.
Plants that grow in areas with frequent flooding often develop __________ roots to obtain oxygen.
Plants that grow in saline environments are called __________.
Plants that grow on other plants but do not harm them are called __________.
True or False: All plant adaptations are permanent and cannot change within a plant's lifetime.
True or False: Some plants can close their stomata during the day to conserve water.
True or False: Some plants can survive freezing temperatures by producing antifreeze proteins.
True or False: Sunken stomata are an adaptation to reduce water loss in some plants.
