3. Angiosperms- flowering plants Gymnosperms- cone bearing plants
“angi” = enclosed sperma= “seed”
seeds are enclosed in a fruit
Examples: grasses, tulips, oaks, dandelions
Divided into two main groups: Monocots & Dicots
Gymnosperms- cone bearing plants
“gymno” = bare sperma= “seed”
seeds grow on cones
needle like leaves
usually stay green year round
Examples: pine trees & evergreens
