Angiosperm
Angiosperms are
known as flowering
plants, produce seeds
within a protective
fruit.
Ex.) apple and orange
trees
Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms, which

produce seeds that
are not enclosed in
fruits.
Transporting
Vascular tissue- transports water and dissolved
substances from one part of the plant to
another.
Xylem- carries water and inorganic nutrients in
one direction.
Phloem- carries organic compounds in any
direction, depending on the plants needs.
Ex.) carbohydrates
Alternating Life Cycles
All plants have a life cycle that involves two
phases.
First phase consists of a diploid (2n)
sporophyte
Second phase consists of a haploid (1n)
gametophyte plant that produces eggs and
sperm.
