Term
| How are ferns more advanced than mosses? How is this an advancement? |
|
Definition
| Ferns have a vascular system. They are able to transport water/nutrients greater distances. |
|
|
Term
| How are gymnosperms more advanced than ferns? How is this an advancement? |
|
Definition
they have seeds instead of spores
they don't have to live in moist environments to reproduce |
|
|
Term
| Explain how gymnosperms reproduce. |
|
Definition
| A male cone releases pollen. Pollen is spread through the wind to a female cone. The egg in the female cone is fertilized and becomes a seed. When the seed is mature, it falls from the cone. |
|
|
Term

Term
| Give examples of angiosperms. |
|
Definition
| any flowering plant: daisy, grass, maple, apple tree, etc. |
|
|
Term
| How are angiosperms more advanced than gymnosperms? How is this an advancement? |
|
Definition
angiosperms have seeds that are contained within an ovary
this provides extra protection |
|
|
Term
| Explain how an angiosperm reproduces. |
|
Definition
| The pollen from an anther lands on the stigma. The pollen travels down the style to the ovary, where it fertilizes the egg. The fertilized egg becomes a seed and the ovary becomes the fruit. |
