Plant Biology Quiz

Plants are all around us, but most people never stop to think about how they actually work. If you enjoy science topics, you might also like testing your knowledge with the Periodic Table Element Quiz - both cover the building blocks of the natural world.

• How roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil
• Photosynthesis - the process plants use to turn sunlight into sugar
• Chlorophyll and why it gives plants their green color
• The male and female parts of a flower and how reproduction works - similar big-picture thinking to what you will find in the Volcanoes Slideshow, which covers another powerful natural process
• Basic plant structures and what each part does

Understanding plant biology helps explain where our food, oxygen, and medicine come from. The Ancient History Slideshow is a good reminder that early civilizations were built almost entirely on their ability to grow and use plants.
