List and describe two reasons that angiosperms show widespread adaptive success
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Several factors are considered when it comes to the success of angiosperms. They can live in so many diverse environments. The first being that they have more efficient ways of transporting both water and nutrients. Angiosperms have a specialized type of cell that is both larger and opened towards the end. This results in water moving fast. Angiosperms also have phloem tissue. This allows allows it to transport sugars that are produced by photosynthesis. The second factor is that angiosperms have enhanced nutrition as well as physical protection for embryos. An example would be the two-step double-fertilization process. This occurs in ovules of plants that are flowering. This produces an embryo and even a nutritive tissue that actually nourishes the embryonic sporophyte. The ovule, within this process, is enclosed. The ovule is within an ovary. The ovary shelters it against attacks. After fertilization the ovary turns into a fruit. The fruit protects the seeds and follows through with dispersing them. Dispersing is done when an animal eats the fruit. The seeds then pass through the animals gut and turns into feces. This allows for more to grow.
