19
Q

Traits that all bryophytes share

A
  • short
  • must live Nearwater
  • no seeds
  • non vascular
  • need less light and nutrients than larger plants
20
Q

Traits that all gymnosperms share

A
  • “naked” seed protected by cones
  • wind pollination
  • can be very tall
  • vascular tubes to move :Xylem-water & Phloem-food
21
Q

Traits that all angiosperms share

A
  • vascular tubes to move :Xylem-water & Phloem-food
  • flowers contain ovaries
  • animal pollination
  • seed contained inside a fruit
22
Q

Embryo/Seed Coat/Endosperm

A

Seed Coat- the outside of the seed.
Embryo- “baby plant” - Zygote
Endosperm- food for the embryo

23
Q

What is the purpose of the fruit?

A

To hold and spread it seeds around

24
Q

Difference between monocot and dicot?

A

Monocots is one leave sprout

Dicots is two leave or more sprout.

25
Q

The difference between annual and perennial plants.

A

Annual you have to replant every year

Perennial regrows every year by its self.
