There are many different facts that you can learn about angiosperms. This information can be found in the local library.
About 250000 of them have been found.
Epidermis The structure and functions of this tissue are the same as those of the epidermis of the stem of a dicotyledonous plant. The epidermis consists of a single layer of living cells which are closely packed. The walls are thickenedand covered with a thin waterproof layer called the cuticle. Stomata with guard cells are found in the epidermis. In some stems either unicellular or multicellular hair-like outgrowths, trichomes, appear from the epidermis. * Functions * The epidermis protects the underlying tissues. * The cuticle prevents the desiccation of inner tissues and thus prevents water loss . * The stomata allows gaseous exchange for the processes of respiration and photosynthesis. Ground Tissue This region is composed of small, thick-walled sclerenchyma on the inside of the epidermis. These layers of cells are followed by larger thin-walled parenchyma cells. Intercellular air spaces are found in the parenchyma. A cortex or pith is absent. * Functions * Sclerenchyma tissue strengthensthe stem. * Parenchyma tissue stores synthesised organic food such as starch. * Intercellular air spaces allow the exchange of gases. Vascular Bundles The vascular bundles are found scattered throughout the ground tissue. The vascular bundles occurring nearer the rind of the stemare smaller and are closer to one another. The vascular bundles contain no cambium and consequently secondary thickening does not occur. The vascular bundle is composed of the following parts:* Sclerenchyma sheath Thick-walled sclerenchyma fibres surround the vascular bundle. ** Function of the Sclerenchyma sheath ** Sclerenchyma sheaths protect the vascularbundles and give strength to the stem. * Xylem Large xylem vessels are found within an irregular intercellular air space called the lysigenous cavity. This space is surrounded by thin-walled parenchyma cells. ** Functions of the Xylem ** Xylem transports water and dissolved ionsfrom the root system to the stem. ** The lignified thick-walled xylem cells strengthen the stem. * Phloem Phloem is composed of thin-walled cells, viz. sieve tubes and companion cells. ** Function of the Phloem ** The phloem transports synthesized organic food such as carbohydrates from the leaves to other parts of the plant

Yes, Grasses have many little flowers bunched together, and having flowers is the major distinguishing characteristic of angiosperms. They are monocots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocots Angiosperms are vascular plants. They have stems, roots, and leaves. Unlike gymnosperms such as conifers and cycads, angiosperm's seeds are found in a flower. Angiosperm eggs are fertilized and develop into a seed in an ovary that is usually in a flower. The flowers of angiosperms have male or female reproductive organs http://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/nwep14f.htm
Yes, vascular bundles are present in petals or else they would not be able to obtain water and they would dry out. Typically petals have three vascular traces and a reticulate pattern of vascular bundles. To see vascular bundles in petals first clear the petals by soaking in 10% NaOH until semi-transparent. If the vascular bundles are still not visible, stain in safranin.
Embyrosac is found in Angiosperms but not in gymnosperms.
There are two different types of water conducting tissues in vascular plants, both of which are constituted as xylem, they are tracheids, and vessel elements. Tracheids are found only in gymnosperms (vascular, non-flowering plants, such as pines), while both types may be found in angiosperms (flowering plants), however, in some cases angiosperms may only have xylem vessels, it depends on the species.

covered seeds
vascular plants are found here, there and every where
After being found in fossils, angiosperms were claimed to be 135 million years old
Vascular tissue is not found in the skin. The vascular tissue is usually found in plants and has xylem and phloem as its primary components.
About 250000 of them have been found.

In the stem and leaves of plants most of the vascular tissue is found. This vascular tissue is in the form of xylem and phloem.
Bryophytes are small, low growing plants that are found in moist environments. Bryophytes do not have lignified tissue. Lignified tissue is hard like a tree bark.
