Study Notes

Angiosperms

  • Angiosperms are vascular plants with stems, roots, and leaves.
  • They are the most advanced and beneficial group of plants.
  • Angiosperms make up the majority of all plants on earth.

Characteristics of Angiosperms

  • Seeds develop inside the plant organs and form fruit.
  • Angiosperms can grow in various habitats as trees, herbs, shrubs, and bushes.

Life Cycle of Angiosperms

  • Germination: The seed starts to grow when conditions are suitable.
  • Roots: Roots grow, usually underground.
  • Leaves: A stem and leaves form, and the plant makes its own food through photosynthesis.
  • Flowering: The pollen in the flowers is used to make seeds.
  • Seed Dispersal: Seeds are spread out so they can grow where they are not fighting for space with the parent plant.

Examples of Flowering Plants

  • Sunflower
  • Orchid
  • Tomato plant
