BIO 152 MODULE CERTIFICATION
EVALUATION SCRIPT 2026 FULL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
⩥ Taproot. Answer: A root system with a large, usually thick primary
root and many much smaller lateral roots branching from it. It is usually
the root system found in dicots (see fibrous root system).
⩥ Root Hair. Answer: Cellular extensions of active parts of the root that
increase the surface area of the root and absorb water and nutrients from
the soil.
⩥ Stem. Answer: A stalk-like vascular part of the shoot system that
supports leaves and flowers and can be modified for other functions.
⩥ Leaf. Answer: Part of the shoot system that is usually responsible for
most of a plant's photosynthesis. Typically, flat and broad structures
attached to the stem.
⩥ Petiole. Answer: The leaf stalk by which the leaf connects to the stem
(see leaf blade).
, ⩥ Leaf Blade. Answer: The "main body" of a leaf usually consisting of a
flat, broad surface (see petiole).
⩥ Reproductive Shoots. Answer: In angiosperms, the fertile flower-
bearing shoots (see vegetative shoots).
⩥ Vegetative Shoot. Answer: The sterile shoots that do not produce
structures for sexual reproduction (see reproductive shoot).
⩥ Axillary Meristem. Answer: The buds located within the axil that are
usually inactive but have the potential to produce a lateral shoot through
primary growth
⩥ Nodes. Answer: The places along the shoot from which leaves branch
off.
⩥ Internodes. Answer: Segments of the shoot in between nodes. Once
formed, they grow a certain amount by cellular elongation, spacing the
nodes farther apart.
⩥ Rhizome. Answer: Underground shoot that grows and branches
horizontally, helping a plant colonize an area
⩥ Tuber. Answer: An underground shoot that swells to form a storage
organ. It can also produce new plants through asexual reproduction.
