  • A typical plant cell wall is rich in:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:60,”topic”:”Introduction To Plant”,”choices”:[“Cellulose”,”Chitin only”,”Keratin”,”Peptidoglycan”],”correct”:0,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Cellulose microfibrils strengthen plant cell walls; fungal walls use chitin.”}

  • Most plants are autotrophs, which means they:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:60,”topic”:”Introduction To Plant”,”choices”:[“Never use carbon dioxide”,”Make organic food using light (photosynthesis)”,”Ingest animals”,”Absorb only ready-made sugar from soil”],”correct”:1,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Green plants fix CO2 into sugars using light energy.”}

  • True or false: Botany includes the study of algae and, historically, fungi even though fungi are not plants.

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:59,”topic”:”Introduction To Botany”,”choices”:[“True”,”False”],”correct”:0,”type”:”true_false”,”explain”:”Classical botany covered algae and fungi; fungi are now a separate kingdom but still taught beside plant science.”}

  • Ethnobotany focuses on:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:59,”topic”:”Introduction To Botany”,”choices”:[“Plant use by people and cultures”,”Only satellite weather”,”Ocean tides”,”Insect wing veins”],”correct”:0,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Ethnobotany records traditional and modern human uses of plants.”}

  • Ecology of plants is the study of:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:59,”topic”:”Introduction To Botany”,”choices”:[“Only cell nuclei”,”Only flower colour pigments”,”How plants interact with each other and their environment”,”Only laboratory glassware”],”correct”:2,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Plant ecology covers communities, succession, climate and other interactions.”}

  • Paleobotany studies:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:59,”topic”:”Introduction To Botany”,”choices”:[“Fossil plants”,”Living marine fish”,”Human bones”,”Star formation”],”correct”:0,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Paleobotany reconstructs ancient floras from fossils such as leaves and pollen.”}

  • Which product is a direct reason botany matters to people?

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:59,”topic”:”Introduction To Botany”,”choices”:[“Food, medicines, timber and fibres”,”Only plastics from petroleum”,”Only fossil fuels from animals”,”Only metallic ores”],”correct”:0,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Crops, drugs, wood and cotton all come from plants.”}

  • Plant physiology is mainly concerned with:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:59,”topic”:”Introduction To Botany”,”choices”:[“Soil colour alone”,”Fossil pollen only”,”Map-making”,”How plants function (photosynthesis, transport, hormones)”],”correct”:3,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Physiology studies life processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and growth.”}

  • A botanist who names and classifies plants works mainly in:

    {“lesson_id”:0,”category_id”:59,”topic”:”Introduction To Botany”,”choices”:[“Geology”,”Plant taxonomy”,”Meteorology”,”Astronomy”],”correct”:1,”type”:”mcq”,”explain”:”Taxonomy (systematics) names, describes and arranges plants into groups.”}
