Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: proper

Although many eucalypts are grown in places like California, they are native only to Australia.

2. Palm trees really are trees. Is this correct or inaccurate?

Answer: inaccurate

Palm trees, believe it or not, are really grasses- members of the monocots! They are not true trees, or even related to true trees, which are dicots.

3. Mushrooms are part of the plant kingdom. Is this really true or not true?

Answer: not true

Mushrooms are part of the kingdom Fungi, along with molds, yeasts and other unsavory characters.

4. Many types of cactus grow in the Sahara Desert. Is this absolutely veracious or entirely mistaken?

Answer: entirely mistaken

Cacti are for the most part native only to North America. In Africa, euphorbias, which can look like cacti but are not related, take their place.

5. Peas, beans and alfalfa are all legumes. Is this straight or false?

Answer: straight

The legume family is often known as the bean family. Some other members are acacia trees and sweet peas.

6. Peanuts grow on peanut trees. Is this a fact or an error?

Answer: an error

Peanuts actually grow underground on bushy plants.

7. Peaches are members of the rose family. Is this really true or totally untrue?

Answer: really true

Other members of this large family (besides roses, of course!) include blackberries, cherries, plums and apples.

8. The leaves of potato plants are poisonous if eaten. Is this entirely accurate or total balderdash?

Answer: entirely accurate

They contain the toxic alkaloid solanine. Potatoes are actually members of the nightshade family (along with tomatoes and eggplant).

9. Tomatoes and cucumbers belong to the same family. Is this wholly verifiable or grossly erroneous?

Answer: grossly erroneous

Tomatoes, as mentioned above, are in the nightshade family-Solanaceae- while cucumbers are in the squash family- Cucurbitaceae.

Answer: True

The question is "Pines are green trees."
