Angiosperms contain both seeds and flowers, while gymnosperms only contain seeds. Instead of relying on wind pollination, angiosperms attract bees and other insects (with the colors and decor of their flowers), whom which collect and distribute pollen (insect pollination). Insect pollination is more reliable than wind pollination.

∙ 15y agoDepeneds on what you mean by "advantage"..
Basically angiosperms are hardwoods and gymnosperms are soft woods. For building something or making flooring this would be important.
The two terms have to do with how the seeds of the plants are developed.

∙ 13y ago1. Seeds are enclosed in the fruit wall
2. Archegonium is replaced by embryo sac
3. Companion cells are present in the phloem and true vessels in the xylem.
(there are of course some vessel-less genera in Angiosperms)

∙ 11y agoWith moss reproduction a lot is left up to chance compared to the flowering plants, so they have to make a lot of spores, cheaply, & hope for the best.
PS- This is not that great of an answer so if you get it wrong its my fault.

What is an angiosperm?
APEX - A plant that produces seeds w/ protective covers
Are angiosperms bigger than seed plants?
no
Explain why variations are needed for natural selection to occur?
Certain variations are more likely to be passed on to future generations than others, because those variations help their possessors reproduce more successfully. Other variations are less likely to be passed on because they do not help, or even hinder their possessors in successful reproduction. We say that the helpful variations are selected by the very nature of things. Without variation, whether an organism reproduces successfully or not is just a matter of blind chance. There is no natural tendency for certain individuals to be more successful at reproducing than others, because there are no differences between individuals.
What is more than one cell?
more than one cell is multicellular. For example, we are multicellular we have more than one cell.
Example of non flowering plant?
A plant which reproduces through structures other than seed
How has the diversity of angiosperms helped them be more successful than gymnosperms?
The angiosperms are more successful than gymnosperms due to the diversity of their form and function. The diversity in the form of seeds and their dispersal mechanism have particularly made them omnipresent.
Are there more gymnosperms than angiosperms?
No
How does a sunflowers life begin?
It starts with a seed or spores and slowly turns into maturity. It germinates later. Angiosperms are flowering seeds, so it is covered by a fruit such as apples. Gymnosperms are unprotected seeds,so there are less possibilities to reproduce than angiosperms. Gymnosperms are usually all spores and there are more gymnosperms than angiosperms because of the possibility of growing.
Are gymnosperms more common than angiosperms?
Yes, they are. An example of a gymnosperm would be a pine tree, for example.
Why gymnospern is different from angiosperm?
Gymnosperms evolved earlier on than angiosperms. They are generally evergreen and spread their pollen on the wind. Angiosperms evolved more recently. They have flowers, are pollinated by pollinators, and consist of two categories; monocots and dicots.
Are sunflowers angiosperms or gymnosperms?
The flowering plants (angiosperms) are also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta. There are more than 250,000 of these seed producing plants. YES, sunflowers are included.Characteristics of Angiosperms:Flowers (the thing that sets angiosperms apart from all others)Stamens (specialized to attract pollinators & modified to prevent self-fertilization)Smaller sized pollen (than the gymnosperms)Closed carpel (cuts down on self-fertilization and increases genetic variablity)Smaller sized "egg" (than the gymnosperms)Endosperm (nutritive tissue for embryo, cotyledons & seedling)The flowering plants (angiosperms) are also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta.

Why is a maple tree more closely related to a rosebush than to a pine tree?
Maple trees and rosebushes are angiosperms, which are flowering plants. Pine trees, which are Gymnosperms, do not flower.
Is strawberry a gymnosperm or angiosperm?
a straberry is not a gymnosperm. it is not a gymnosperm because a gymnosperms are seeds that are not in a fruit or a flower . i am in 5th grade so i know more than an adult and gymnosperm are now my lesson
Angiosperms that live for more than two years are called what?
Angiosperms that live for more than two years are calledperennials.
Why is a pine tree considered to be more similar to the hibiscus plant than to a fern?
Gymnosperms, such as pine trees, and angiosperms, such as hibiscus, both sport an important evolutionary feature that ferns do not. Gymnosperms and angiosperms both make seeds through sexual reproduction, while ferns produce spores through a type of asexual reproduction. (the latin word sperma means seed.)
How is seed formation in a conifer different than in a flowering plant?
At this level of taxonomy, there are gymnosperms and angiosperms. The gymnosperms have 'naked seed'. (Hence the gymno part of the name)The angiosperms have an ovary for producing seed, in conjunction with pollen.Earlier taxonomy has the ferns, mosses, and the non-vascular plants, seaweeds, and in New Zealand we have a a few species of Tmesipteris. These early plants do not have flowers, but the ferns at least have sexual reproduction.
Is an oak tree a monocot or dicot?
No. They are gymnosperms. Angiosperms are flower producing plants, and have 2 categories: monocotyledon and dicotyledon.
