how do angiosperms differ from gymnosperms?
The angiosperms and the gymnosperms are part of the kingdom of plants. The former is generally considered as flowering plants while the gymnosperms are those that are known as the ancestors of such plants. Scientifically, the seed bearing plants are divided into the angiosperms and gymnosperms. One major difference that often defines these plants is the seeds that it contains. The angiosperm seeds are those that are concealed within the fruit. The gymnosperms seeds, on the other hand, are exposed and considered as naked seeds. Basically, the seeds of the latter plant are those that are developed in the surfaces of specialized leaves. The angiosperms are those kinds of plants who contain an ovary within the flower, and fruits are often produced from the ripened ones.
Angiosperms are flowering plants where the seeds are found in an ovary. Gymnosperms are evergreen plants where the seeds are naked, as in without an ovary. In angiosperms the pollen from the anther or male part of the plant ir released and when it lands on the stigma it travels into the ovary to fertilize an ovule. The seeds will develop inside the ovary which in plants like tomatoes or apples will become the fruit surrounding the seeds.
