41
What are the tree lifetimes of angiosperms and their definitions?
Annuals-Plant that grows from a seed, then flower and make new seeds. This happens every year. Biennials- Plants that take two years to go through their life cycle. Perennials- Plants that live for 3 or more years.

Primary stems- increase the height, located at tips and shoots of branches Secondary stems- increases the girth, adds rings to the trunks. Three rings indicates years of drought. Each ring represents age.
49
What are characteristics for angiosperms and gymnosperms?
Angiosperms- Flowering plants, fruits, flat leaves, dormancy. Pollen grains produced in the anther. Gymnosperms- pine tree or juniper, needless or scales, cones, no dormancy.

53
What are two systems are responsible for transporting water & minerals through a plant?
Absorption through the roots and transportation through the shoot system.
54
What are the two vascular systems in plants?
