Ch. 30 Flashcards
Seed plants that have evolved cones (male and female) to carry their reproductive structures;
“naked seed”
EX. pine trees
gymnosperms
Has vascular system (i.e. roots, xylem, phloem)
EX. coniferophyta, cyacadophyta, gingkophyta, gnetophyta
gymnosperms
Major distinguishing factor b/w gymnosperms and angiosperms
naked seed
___ and ___ on gymnosperms develop on the scaled of cones rather than in enclosed chambers called ovaries
ovules; seeds
Dominant plant of gymnosperms, having needle-like leaves and living in areas where weather is cold and dry
conifers
Live in warm climates, have large compound leaves, and are unusual b/c they are pollinated by beetles rather than wind
cycads
Only remaining species of the Gingkophyta; usually resistant to pollution
Gingko biloba
Gymnosperms believed to be most closely related to angiosperms b/c of the presence of vessel elements within their stems
gnetophytes
Flowering plants–> classified based on characteristics that include cotyledon structure, pollen grains, flower and vascular tissue arrangement
EX. dicot
angiosperms
