the needels have a very thick cutical that helps pervent water loss as well as a sunken stomata
Gymnosperms are specialized for reproducing via exposed seeds, while angiosperms are specialized for reproducing with seeds enclosed in fruits. Gymnosperms are typically better adapted to cold and dry environments, while angiosperms have a wider range of ecological adaptations due to the diversity of their flowers and fruits.
Gymnosperms and angiosperms differ primarily in their reproductive structures and methods of seed dispersal. Gymnosperms do not have flowers or fruits, which are defining characteristics of angiosperms; instead, they produce seeds that are often exposed on cones. Additionally, angiosperms rely on various pollinators for reproduction, whereas gymnosperms typically use wind for pollination. These differences highlight their distinct evolutionary paths and adaptations to their environments.
Gymnosperms have two main advantages over seedless vascular plants: they produce seeds, which provide protection and nourishment for the embryo, and they have evolved structures called cones that facilitate seed dispersal. These adaptations allow gymnosperms to thrive in a wider range of habitats and to colonize new environments more effectively than seedless vascular plants.
The phylum containing the most successful gymnosperms is Coniferophyta, also known as the conifers. Conifers are widespread and dominant in many environments due to their adaptations for cold and dry conditions, making them highly successful in a variety of ecosystems.
Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms have several adaptations to prevent water loss, including needle-like leaves with a reduced surface area, which minimizes transpiration. Their leaves also have a thick cuticle that provides an additional barrier against evaporation. Additionally, many gymnosperms possess sunken stomata, which further reduces water loss by limiting exposure to air currents. These adaptations enable gymnosperms to thrive in various environments, particularly in dry or harsh conditions.

Angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms (conifers, cycads, ginkgo) are two groups of vascular plants that produce seeds. Angiosperms have seeds enclosed within a fruit, while gymnosperms have seeds not enclosed, usually in cones.
No. Conifers are Gymnosperms.
Yes Gymnosperms have supporting stems.
The two types of seed plants are gymnosperms and angiosperms. Gymnosperms include conifers, such as pine trees, which have naked seeds not enclosed in a fruit. Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.
