QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Plant Anatomy.
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 10

Fill in the blank: The _______ is the outermost layer of cells in a plant organ.
Fill in the blank: The _______ is the part of the leaf where most photosynthesis occurs.
Fill in the blank: The _______ is the part of the stem where leaves are attached.
Fill in the blank: The _______ is the region in a leaf where vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) are found.
True or False: Phloem transports water and minerals upward from the roots.
True or False: The cortex is found between the epidermis and the vascular tissue in roots and stems.
True or False: The pericycle is found just inside the endodermis in roots and can give rise to lateral roots.
True or False: The pith is found at the center of many dicot stems.
