 Vascular Plants
Gymnosperms
The majority of vascular plants
reproduce by creating seeds rather
than spores and are classified as
either gymnosperms or angiosperms.
Gymnosperms are vascular plants that
create cones to house their seeds.
 Gymnosperms
Common gymnosperms include large trees,
such as cedars, hemlocks, pines,
and spruces. The characteristics of
vascular plants are they have xylem and
phloem, these plants can perform the
functions like conduction, storage and
mechanical support.

Gymnosperms
Seed plants consists of those which
bear seeds contained in cones and
those inside a protective layer of
tissue. Plants whose seeds is borne in
cones are called gymnosperms.
Example of gymnosperms
Gymnosperms are the
conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and
gnetophytes . Many conifers like pine
trees grow in cold countries and in
elevated places in warmer climates.
They are woody trees and have tough
needle like leaves.
Gymnosperms are seed-bearing vascular
Gymnosperms
plants, such as cycads, ginkgo, yews and
conifers, in which the ovules or seeds are not
enclosed in an ovary. The word
"gymnosperm" comes from the Greek
word gymnospermos, meaning "naked
seeds".
Gymnosperm seeds develop either on the
Gymnosperms
surface of scale or leaf-like appendages of
cones, or at the end of short stalks.
The largest group of living gymnosperms are
the conifers (pines, cypresses and relatives)
and the smallest is ginkgo, a single living
plant species found in China.

 Angiosperms
Angiosperms can be classified
according to their lifespan. Annuals live
for a year or one growing season and
die like rice and corn. Biennials develop
roots, stems and leaves during the first
year, produce seeds o the second year,
then die.
Angiosperms have to undergo a process
Gymnosperms
called pollination before they can reproduce.
Angiosperms have male sex organs
called stamens. On the end of the stamen is
the anther. This is where pollen is made. The pollen
has to be taken to the pistil or the female part of the
flower. The pollen is left on the stigma at the end of
the pistil. The stigma carries the pollen down a tube
called the style to the ovary.
Gymnosperms
Angiosperms in this group grow two seed-
leaves. Their Gymnosperms
leaves usually have a single main
vein that starts at the base of the leaf blade, or
three or more main veins that spread out from
the base of the leaf. Most plants are dicots,
including most trees, shrubs, vines, fruit and
vegetable plants and flowers. There are about
200,000 species of dicots.
 Gymnosperms
These angiosperms start with one seed-leaf.
The main veins of their leaves are usually
unbranched. There are about 30,000 species
of monocots. Monocots include orchids, lilies,
irises, palms, grasses, and grains like wheat,
corn and oats. Fruits like dates and bananas
also belong to this group.
