Maturation is not a recognized phase of plant growth; the main phases are germination, juvenile, and reproductive.

Glucose is not produced during the light reactions; it is synthesized in the Calvin cycle.

Glucose is not produced in the light-dependent reactions; it is produced in the Calvin cycle.

The Krebs cycle is part of cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.

Cork cambium is a type of lateral meristem, but it is not classified as a meristematic tissue in the same sense as apical, lateral, and intercalary meristems.

Epithelial tissue is not a type of plant tissue; it is found in animals.

The correct order of taxonomic ranks from broadest to most specific is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order.

Monocots are the largest group of flowering plants.

Lactobacillus is a genus of bacteria that ferments lactose to produce lactic acid, which is essential in yogurt production.

Yeast, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ferments sugars to produce carbon dioxide, causing the bread to rise.

Acetobacter is a genus of bacteria that converts ethanol into acetic acid, the main component of vinegar.

Gymnosperms are characterized by having seeds that are exposed or not enclosed within an ovary.

Gymnosperms are characterized by the presence of seeds, which are often exposed on cones.

Pteridophytes, such as ferns, have vascular tissue, which allows for the transport of water and nutrients.

Ferns have a dominant sporophyte generation, which is the leafy part of the plant that produces spores.

Angiosperms undergo double fertilization, where one sperm fertilizes the egg and another forms the endosperm.

Ferns are vascular plants that possess true roots, stems, and leaves, distinguishing them from non-vascular plants like mosses and liverworts.

Ferns are vascular plants, which means they have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients.

Ferns are known for having vascular tissues.

Xerophytes are specialized plants that can survive in extreme environments, such as deserts.

Ferns reproduce via spores, while angiosperms and gymnosperms reproduce via seeds.

Xerophytes are plants that have adapted to survive in dry environments, often featuring specialized structures to conserve water.

Algae are primarily aquatic and can be found in various water bodies, unlike the other groups listed.

Mosses are non-vascular plants, meaning they lack specialized tissues for water and nutrient transport.

Gibberellins are known to promote cell elongation and are important for growth.

Flowers are directly involved in reproduction and can adapt to attract specific pollinators, influencing evolutionary outcomes.

Stomata are small openings on the surfaces of leaves that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Mosses are non-vascular plants that do not have specialized tissues for water and nutrient transport.

Dandelions can reproduce through apomixis, where seeds are produced without fertilization, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Corn is an example of a plant that relies on wind for pollination, as it produces lightweight pollen that can be easily carried by the wind.
