Is a cedar tree a monocot or a dicot?
Neither, because it is not an angiosperm (flowering plant). A monocot (monocotyledon) is an angiosperm with one cotyledon (seed-leaf) while a dicot (dicotyledon) is an angiosperms with two cotyledons (seed-leaves). Western red cedars are gymnosperms. A gymnosperm has "naked seeds" meaning that the seeds (ovules) are not found in an ovary but rather on leaves, scales or in cones.

What is the scientific name of an gymnosperm?
Gymnosperms are any of a group of vascular plants that produce naked seeds (not enclosed in an ovary or fruit). They were formerly considered a class (Gymnospermae) of seed plants, but are now considered polyphyletic in origin and divided into several divisions, four with surviving members typified by the cycadophytes, conifers, ginkgo, and ephedras.fern
In which biome do hardwood trees lose their leaves before the cold winter sets in?
The deciduous forest.
How many groups of gymnosperms exist today?
there are alot of different species but there is about the same number of angiospems so there is about 200,000-300,000
What are two local tree species that are gymnosperms?
Conifers are gymnosperms. Leylandi etc
Is a cherry blossom a gymnosperms?
Angiosperm; gymnosperms are plants that are characterised by "open" seeds for example cone-bearing plants such as various conifers, pines, cycas and encephalartos species.

What is the gymnosprems reproductive structures called?
"Gymnosperm" is an informal term for any plant of the extant groups Coniferophyta, (conifers) Cycadophyta, (cycads) Ginkgophyta (1 species gingko biloba), and Gnetophyta as opposed to the angiosperms or flowering plants. Gymnosperms reproduce by means of seeds. Unfertilised seeds are called "ovules" With the first cell division it is called a "zygote" and thereafter an "embryo". The male gene carrier is called pollen. (For more about pollen - ask. The seeds of gymnosperms are in direct contact with the environment (can be covered with a scale as in "cones"). The ovules of angiosperms, by contrast, are encased in an ovary.
What is a gymnsperm?
gymnosperms are amember of the plantaw kindom that has a vascular system and produces naked seeds...they are mostly conifers. there are many species some are pines, spruces redwoods and cedars
What proudes soft trees?
this is what I can tell u.Softwoods, or conifers, belong to the group of plants known as gymnosperms (flowerless seed-bearing plants). Conifers include pines, cedars, spruces, larches, and firs, and conifers are common in the world's temperate and boreal (northern) regions.Hardwoods belong to the group of plants called angiosperms (flowering plants). They include broad-leaved tree species such as oak, maple, beech, walnut, mahogany, teak, and balsa.The wood of some softwood trees is harder than that of some hardwood trees.
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.
Are Gymnosperms inclining or declining?
Gymnosperms, which include plants like conifers and cycads, are generally declining in terms of overall diversity and abundance. This is due to factors such as habitat loss, deforestation, and competition with angiosperms (flowering plants). However, some gymnosperm species are still highly successful and widely distributed in certain regions of the world.
What is the difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms?
GymnospermsA gymnosperm (Greek for "naked seed") is a vascular plant that produces seeds that are not protected by fruit but are hidden in a woody cone. They do not have flowers, but most retain their leaves year round. Gymnosperms include over 600 species in four divisions: Conifers, Cycads, Ginkgoes, and Gnetophytes. Most of today's gymnosperms belong to the conifer division. Gymnosperms are found in most of the world's regions and take most of the credit for timber and paper products. AngiospermsAngiosperms are vascular plants that produce flowers and fruit with one or more seeds. Angiosperms make up two classes: monocotyledonous (monocot) and dicotyledonous (dicot) plants. Angiosperms make up more than 80% of all plant species, ranging from roses to palm trees. Gymnosperm - 'naked seed'the endosperm is (n haploid)reproduction is achieved through male and female conesmainly represented by tree speciesphylem coniferophytaphylem gnetophytaphylem cycadophytaphylem ginkgophytaAngiosperm - flowering plantthe endosperm is (3n triploid)male pollen and female ovules are producedfruits and flowersphylem anthophytaAngiosperms develop their seeds inside the ovary where as gymnosperms are naked seeded plants.angiosperms is a seed and fruit and gymnosperms is only a seed
Coniferous forest producers?
Producers in a coniferous forest are Gymnosperms including various species of Pinus , Cedrus ,Abies , Juniper and others .These are all conifers and major producers.Minor producers include flowering plant which are herbacious orshrubs.
What is the kingdom phylum class order family genus species of a plants?
The kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species of a plant are its biological classification. This classification was devised by Carolus Linnaeus.
What are the four groups of gymnosperms?
present day gymnosperms are divided into the four following phyla: 1-Cycadophyta: palm-like trees of tropics/subtropics 2-Ginkgophyta: only a single species: Ginkgo biloba 3-Coniferophyta: cone bearing trees, evergreens: pines, firs, spruce 4-Gnetophyta: consists of 3 genera: a. welwitschia: in African deserts with only 2 long strap-like leaves b. Ephedra: desert shrub, souce of alkaloid ephedrine - used to treat congestion of hay fever, asthma c. Gnetum: trees or vines with large leathery leaves
