Angiosperms
Angiosperms
Plants that do not have seeds enclosed in a vessel are called gymnosperms. This group includes conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes, which produce seeds that are often exposed on cones or other structures. Unlike angiosperms, which have seeds enclosed within fruits, gymnosperms typically have a more primitive reproductive system.
Angiosperms
Plants that have seeds enclosed in vessels are known as angiosperms, or flowering plants. In these plants, the seeds develop within a protective structure called the ovary, which is part of the flower. Angiosperms are characterized by their ability to produce flowers and fruit, which aid in reproduction and seed dispersal. This group includes a vast diversity of species, ranging from grasses and trees to shrubs and flowering herbs.
A flower structure that encloses and protects ovules and seeds as they develop.
The ovary
Plants that have covered or enclosed seeds are called angiosperms. These flowering plants produce seeds within a protective structure, typically a fruit, which aids in the dispersal of the seeds. Angiosperms are the most diverse group of plants and include a wide variety of species, ranging from grasses to trees.
The ovary is a crucial part of the female reproductive system in flowering plants. After fertilization, the ovary develops into a fruit, which encloses the seeds. Inside the ovary, ovules are fertilized by pollen, leading to the formation of seeds that contain the genetic material necessary for the next generation of plants. Thus, the ovary plays a key role in protecting and nurturing the developing seeds until they are ready for dispersal.
Yes. These plants are called angiosperms.
Seeds
Vascular plants with flowers produce seeds inside the fruit are called angiosperm. They are plants where the flower then becomes a fruit containing the seeds.
They are called gymnosperms. Strawberries are a good example.
