Biology sequencing — Plant part development and position Arrange the following plant parts in a meaningful order reflecting growth/organ sequence: Leaf Fruit Stem Root Flower

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: 4, 3, 1, 5, 2

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This question checks basic botanical reasoning—recognizing a sensible order of plant parts based on development and functional position.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Typical seedling/rooted plant organ progression is considered.
  • Reproductive organs (flowers) precede fruits.
  • Leaves arise from stems to support photosynthesis.



Concept / Approach:
Think from foundational support and nutrient uptake to vegetative growth and finally reproduction. Roots anchor and absorb; stems support and transport; leaves perform photosynthesis; flowers enable reproduction; fruits follow to protect and disperse seeds.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Root provides initial anchorage and absorption → 4 first.Stem emerges to support transport and structure → 3 next.Leaves develop on stems to photosynthesize → 1 next.Flower forms as the reproductive organ → 5 next.Fruit develops post-fertilization from the flower → 2 last.



Verification / Alternative check:
Any order placing fruit before flower violates plant reproductive biology. Likewise, leaves generally precede flowers in most growth cycles.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Options that put fruit before flower or stem before root ignore developmental dependencies.



Common Pitfalls:
Confusing spatial arrangement (root below ground) with temporal development; however, the chosen order satisfies both logic and common growth patterns.



Final Answer:
4, 3, 1, 5, 2
