Example Questions
Example Question #11 : Understanding Other Plant Macrostructures
Which of the following best describes the location of the receptacle on an angiosperm?
At the top of the stem
At the top of the ovary
Inside the ovary
Attached to the anther
At the top of the stem
The receptacle is the part of an angiosperm out of which the flower grows; thus, the receptacle is at the top of the stem.
Example Question #12 : Understanding Other Plant Macrostructures
Which of the following is contained in the carpel?
Ovules
Anther
Stamen
Flower
Ovules
The carpel is a part of the female angiosperm reproductive system. The carpel includes the ovary, ovules, style, and stigma. Flowers may have several carpels clustered into a pistil.
Example Question #13 : Understanding Other Plant Macrostructures
Which of the following is produced by stamens in angiosperms?
Pollen
Seeds
Ovules
Sap
Pollen
Stamens are a part of the male reproductive system in angiosperms. Stamens have a filament and an anther, which is attached to the top of the filament. Anthers produce pollen through the process of meiosis.
Example Question #35 : Macrostructures
Which of the following best describes the function of the sepal in angiosperms?
Houses ovules awaiting fertilization
Attracts pollinators
Production of pollen
Protection of the flower when it is still in the bud
Protection of the flower when it is still in the bud
The sepal is a protective structure in angiosperms. When the flower is still in the bud, the sepal offers protection and later supports the bloom.
