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 12
Describe how leaf orientation can be an adaptation to high light intensity environments.
Describe how root adaptations help plants in nutrient-poor soils.
Describe how the floating leaves of water lilies are adapted to their environment.
Describe how the presence of thorns is an adaptation for survival.
Describe how the production of secondary metabolites can be an adaptation for plant defense.
Describe the role of succulence in plant adaptation to arid environments.
Describe two structural adaptations of hydrophytes that enable them to survive in aquatic environments.
Explain how leaf rolling helps some grasses survive drought.
Explain how the presence of buttress roots is an adaptation for tropical rainforest trees.
Explain how the presence of spines in cacti is an adaptation to their environment.
Explain how the timing of flowering can be an adaptation to specific pollinators.
Explain the adaptive significance of geotropism in plant roots.
Explain the significance of photoperiodism in plant adaptation.
Explain why some alpine plants have hairy leaves.
Describe how the phenomenon of heterophylly can be considered an adaptation in certain aquatic and amphibious plants.
Explain how the development of aerenchyma tissue in wetland plants is an adaptation to their environment. Discuss the physiological and structural roles of aerenchyma in plant survival.
Explain how the mutualistic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots is an adaptation for survival in nutrient-poor soils.
In some environments, plants exhibit allelopathy. Define allelopathy and explain how it provides a competitive advantage in plant communities.
Plants in arctic tundra regions often have dark-colored leaves. Explain the adaptive significance of this trait.
Some alpine plants exhibit a cushion growth form. Describe how this growth form is an adaptation to high-altitude environments, and explain the advantages it provides in terms of temperature regulation and wind resistance.
