Question

How do gymnosperms and angiosperms differ? How do they compare? What are the benefits of each?

I will report for IDK or other not cool stuff ;(

Answer 1

angiosperms vs. gymnosperms

Step-by-step explanation:

difference:

gymnosperms

- seeds are formed in unisexual cones (strobili) but isn't surrounded by a protective fruut

- ranging from large woody trees and shrubs

- adapted to thrive in environments with long cold winters and low amounts of nutrients in their soil.

angiosperms

- seeds develop in the ovaries of flowers and is surrounded by a protective fruit

- contain conducting tissues known as vessels

- include trees, grasses, vegetables, wildflowers and herbs.

- adapted to facilitate seed dispersal.

similarities:

- both use pollen for fertilization

- both have xylem and phloem

benefits:

gymnosperms

- provide fiber for making paper and wood.

angiosperms

- flowering plants; helps produce the oxygen we breathe, along with fruit, vegetables, herbs and seeds.

Answer 2

Angiosperms are flowering plants that have their seeds enclosed within the fruits. Gymnosperms, on the other hand, do not bear flower and fruits and the seeds are exposed on the surface of leaves or scales.

Angiosperms are flowering plants that have their seeds enclosed within the fruits. Gymnosperms, on the other hand, do not bear flower and fruits and the seeds are exposed on the surface of leaves or scales. Let us have a look at the important differences between angiosperms and gymnosperms.

Flowering plants

Non-flowering plants

Seeds are enclosed within the ovary

Seeds are exposed on the surface of leaves, cones or scales

Seasonal

Evergreen

Triploid

Haploid

Leaves are flat

Leaves are needle-like with scales

Cotyledons are present

Cotyledons are absent

Hardwood plants

Softwood plants

Mostly rely on animals for pollination

Mostly rely on wind for pollination

Stigma and style are present

Stigma and style are absent

Distinct archegonia are present

Archegonia is absent

Double fertilization takes place

The fertilization is only generative type

These are a source of hardwood, pharmaceuticals, timber. fibre products, etc.

These are a source of softwood such as pine, fur, paper and plywood
