Ch 11: ILTS Biology: Plant Reproduction & Growth
About This Chapter
ILTS Biology: Plant Reproduction & Growth - Chapter Summary
This chapter's lessons will aid in your review of the life cycle of plants and the ways in which they reproduce and grow. Learn about terms such as haploid, multicellular and vegetative propagation as they pertain to plant growth and reproduction. Our videos will prepare you for ILTS Biology exam questions on:
- Plant life cycles
- Asexual plant reproduction
- Tropisms
- The influence of day and seasonal cycles
- What plant hormones do
We offer many methods to help you study for the ILTS Biology exam. Our online lessons are developed and taught by experts that you can contact with your questions. A clickable timeline makes it easy to return to key points in the lesson, and you can print out a worksheet to study when you don't have access to the Internet.
ILTS Biology: Plant Reproduction & Growth Chapter Objectives
Illinois calls for passing the ILTS Biology exam as one of the conditions for certification to teach biology in a public school. The exam has 125 multiple-choice questions, divided into six subareas, including Life Science and Cell Biology, Heredity and Evolution. You can practice answering questions in the format you'll see on the exam by taking the quizzes that follow each of our video lessons.

1. A Review of Plant Life Cycles & Alternation of Generations
Plants have a unique system of passing on genetic information. In this lesson we are going to check out the alternation of generations used by plants to keep their gene pools strong.

2. Asexual Plant Reproduction: Vegetative Propagation and Bulbs
Not all plants make attractive flowers in order to reproduce. Some plants will not make seeds and pollen either. These plants have other ways to create new offspring. We will look at a few key methods of vegetative propagation.

3. Tropisms: Phototropic, Geotropic and Thigmotropic Plant Growth
Animals aren't the only things that can respond to the environment. While plants may seem inanimate at times, they, too, can respond to the environment in order to better survive.

4. How Daily & Seasonal Cycles Affect Plants
Plants live on a planet with days and seasons, and that affects their behavior. Learn about the daily and seasonal cycles of plants, and see how much you've learned with a quiz.

5. Plant Hormones: Chemical Control of Growth and Reproduction
We most often think of hormones as things that control our actions and development. However, even plants have these chemicals to help regulate growth and reproduction.
