Transporting tubes only found in vascular plants that allow passage of water and nutrients in plants

• phloem and xylem

• gymnosperms and angiosperms

• liverworts and mosses

• transport and excretion

The transporting system in vascular plants moves water throughout the plant tissues.

• xylem

• phloem

• cones

• seed

This tissue in vascular plants allows nutrients to move throughout

• xylem

• phloem

• leaves

• seeds

Two types of vascular plants

• gymnosperms and angiosperms

• xylem and phloem

• cones and seeds

Which statements correctly compare angiosperms and gymnosperms?

• Gymnosperms are vascular plants while angiosperms are not.

• Angiosperms have naked seeds while gymnosperms have seeds enclosed in a fruit.

• Gymnosperms have no flowers while angiosperms are flowering plants.

• Angiosperms have seeds enclosed within their fruit while gymnosperms have seeds produced as cones.
