three ways in which gymnosperms different from pteridophytes
Answers
GPT 3.5
1. Reproduction: Gymnosperms reproduce through the production of seeds contained within cones, while pteridophytes reproduce through spores released from sporangia on the underside of their leaves.
2. Vascular tissue: Gymnosperms possess well-developed vascular tissue, consisting of xylem and phloem, allowing for efficient transport of water, nutrients, and photosynthetic products throughout the plant. Pteridophytes also have vascular tissue, but it is generally less developed compared to gymnosperms.
3. Leaves: Gymnosperms typically have needle-like or scale-like leaves, while pteridophytes have larger, more complex fronds. The leaves of gymnosperms are often adapted to conserve water in dry environments, while the leaves of pteridophytes are optimized for photosynthesis and gas exchange.
