Gymnosperm vs. Gymnosperms were the first plants with seeds. They are vascular plants and do not produce flowers. However, the seed is beneficial because it provides protection and food for the plant embryo. Examples of gymnosperms include conifers - or evergreens - and ginkgoes.

Angiosperms vs. Gymnosperms. Angiosperms, also called flowering plants, have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary (usually a fruit), while gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits, and have unenclosed or “naked” seeds on the surface of scales or leaves. Gymnosperm seeds are often configured as cones.

Xerophytes have thick cuticles, lost or finely divided leaves, reduced stomata, and CAM photosynthesis. Water storage adaptations include succulence and protective coverings of color, wax, hair, and/or spines.

What is the one most obvious difference between the gymnosperms and angiosperms? The gymnosperms don't form flowers while the angiosperms do. The photosynthetic pigments in angiosperms are likely to be most closely related to those in: green algae.

Gymnosperms are vascular plants that produce seeds in cones. Examples include conifers such as pine and spruce trees. The gymnosperm life cycle has a dominant sporophyte generation. Both gametophytes and the next generation's new sporophytes develop on the sporophyte parent plant.

These seed plants fall into two groups, angiosperms and gymnosperms. Angiosperms are the flowering plants. Their seeds develop inside a female reproductive part of the flower, called the ovary, which usually ripens into a protective FRUIT. Gymnosperms (conifers, Ginkgo, and cycads) do not have flowers or ovaries.

Characteristics. The tree grows up to 10 m (33 ft) tall. It has deciduous pinnate leaves 10–20 centimeters (4–8 inches) long. The plants are dioecious, with separate male and female trees.
