Study Notes
Conifer Characteristics
- Needle-like leaves of conifers have a waxy coating that helps to retain water and protect the branches from heavy snowfall.
- Conifers are evergreen, meaning they can photosynthesize in winter.
- Conifers are gymnosperms, characterized by producing cones and having needle-like leaves.
Gymnosperms vs Angiosperms
- Pine trees are gymnosperms, characterized by cone-bearing plants and needle-like leaves.
- Mango trees are angiosperms, characterized by flower-bearing plants and round leaves.
Pollination of Conifers
- The primary pollinator of conifers is wind.
- Wind is responsible for pollinating conifers.
Reproduction in Conifers
- Cones contain the material necessary for conifers to reproduce.
- The first step in the fertilization process of plants is pollination.
Plant Reproduction
- The fertilization process in plants involves several steps, including pollination, the growth of a tube to the pistil, and the joining of sperm with the egg.
