Why are angiosperms so successful?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an explanation of the reasons behind the success of angiosperms (flowering plants) compared to other plant groups. This may involve discussing their reproductive strategies, adaptability, and ecological roles.
Answer
Flowers, fruit and rapid growth.
The final answer is that angiosperms are successful due to their flowers and fruit, and their ability to grow and spread faster than other plants.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is that angiosperms are successful due to their flowers and fruit, and their ability to grow and spread faster than other plants.
More Information
The flowers ensure pollination and protection for developing embryos, while the fruit aids in seed dispersal. Additionally, angiosperms have efficient photosynthesis due to more leaf veins, compact DNA, and cells making them highly adaptable.
Tips
A common mistake is to overlook the importance of both reproductive structures and growth rate factors in angiosperms’ success.
