Worksheet on identifying angiosperms and gymnosperms using images of plants.

Let's solve this step by step.

We are asked to choose between angiosperms and gymnosperms for each statement. Here's a quick review:

- Angiosperms: Flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in a fruit. They have flowers, fruits, and their seeds are protected inside the fruit.
- Examples: Apple trees, pear trees, roses, poppies.

- Gymnosperms: Non-flowering plants that produce seeds in cones (not enclosed in a fruit). They do not have true flowers or fruits.
- Examples: Pine trees, spruce, fir, cedars.

Now let’s go through each question:

---

1. _____________ don’t have flowers.

✔ Answer: Gymnosperms
→ Gymnosperms do not produce flowers; they reproduce via cones.

---

2. _____________ have flowers that produce fruit.

✔ Answer: Angiosperms
→ Angiosperms are flowering plants whose seeds develop into fruits after fertilization.

---

3. _____________ produce cones with seeds inside.

✔ Answer: Gymnosperms
→ Gymnosperms produce cones (like pinecones) that contain seeds, but no fruit.

---

4. Conifers, like the pine tree, are _____________.

✔ Answer: Gymnosperms
→ Conifers are a major group of gymnosperms.

---

5. _____________ can be trees, grasses or bushes.

✔ Answer: Angiosperms
→ Angiosperms include a wide variety of forms: trees (like apple), grasses (like wheat), and bushes (like rose).

---

6. _____________ can be bushes or trees.

✔ Answer: Gymnosperms
→ While many gymnosperms are trees (like pines), some are shrubs or bushes (e.g., junipers).

---

7. A pear tree is an _____________.

✔ Answer: Angiosperm
→ Pear trees have flowers and produce fruit (pears), so they are angiosperms.

Now, label the images:

There are four pictures:

1. Top left: Tree with red fruit (like apples or pears) → Angiosperm
2. Top right: Tall evergreen tree (like cedar or pine) → Gymnosperm
3. Bottom left: Pine branches with pinecones → Gymnosperm
4. Bottom right: Field of red poppy flowers → Angiosperm

Fill-in-the-blank:

1. Gymnosperms don’t have flowers.
