Compare and contrast the groups of existing gymnosperms. Place the given characteristic in the correct gymnosperm category. Leaves resemble palm tree leaves Tough, scalelike or needle-like leaves Form extensive forests in Northern Hemisphere Produce foul-smelling tissue around seeds Predominantly tropical and subtropical distribution, many species are endangered or threatened Coralloid roots Produce relatively simple male cones and more complex female cones Produce large, conspicuous conelike structures bearing either ovules and seeds or pollen Represented by only one remaining species Is likely extinct in the wild Coniferophyta Cycadophyta Ginkgophyta

Differentiating Gymnosperms and Angiosperms Match the characteristics below to either gymnosperms or angiosperms. gymnosperms nonflowering gymnosperms exposed seeds angiosperms garden flowers and tomatoes angiosperms seeds enclosed in fruit gymnosperms pine or fir trees angiosperms flowering

Classify the following characteristics to describe the different types of gymnosperms. Distinct male and female plants Often mistaken for palms due to the appearance of their leaves Conifers Include pines, spruce, cedar, and fir Ginkgoes Cycads Extracts used to produce ephedrine Gnetophytes Represented by only one species Insect pollinated
Pahal S.
Angiosperms and gymnosperms differ from each other in that: a) angiosperms have vascular systems, but gymnosperms do not. b) angiosperms produce seeds, but gymnosperms do not. c) angiosperms tend to rely on animal pollinators, whereas gymnosperms tend to rely on wind pollination. d) angiosperms use pollen, whereas gymnosperms use cones. e) angiosperms have a single fertilization process, whereas gymnosperms use double fertilization.
