NYSTCE Biology: Plant Reproduction & Growth - Videos & Lessons

About This Chapter

This chapter centers around plant reproduction and growth. Watch its video lessons before taking the NYSTCE Biology examination for teacher certification. The chapter's quiz questions could reflect some of those on the certification examination.

NYSTCE Biology - Plant Reproduction and Growth - Chapter Summary

Check your prior knowledge of plant reproduction and growth and test your comprehension of plant reproductive and life cycles with these engaging lessons. They emphasize the alternating life cycles of plants while defining terms such as phototropism, geotropism, rhizomes and stolons. After your review has refreshed your memory, you can address relevant material on the NYSTCE Biology examination. These online tutorial lessons could assist you with:

Understanding tropism as well as the growth cycles of perennial, biennial and annual plants
Discussing the implications of photoperiodicity
Exploring angiosperm, gymnosperm, fern and moss life cycles
Explaining the alternation of generations and asexual plant reproductive processes

Absorb the information in these educational videos, which outline the topics above as well as other subjects. Study them in anticipation of passing the NYSTCE Biology examination. Self-paced and instructor-delivered, the video lessons include written transcripts along with video tags for navigating the lessons. Ask questions of the instructors and take the short multiple-choice quizzes that test your understanding.

NYSTCE Biology: Plant Reproduction and Growth Chapter Objectives

Subarea IV of the NYSTCE Biology examination includes material on plant adaptations, characteristics and functions. You may be faced with questions pertaining to plant and leaf structures and evolution as you seek a biology teaching certification in New York State. The fourth subarea of the examination accounts for 12% of the score. The paper-based examination consists of 90 multiple-choice questions and one constructed-response assignment. You'll have up to four hours for completion.

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.
