The Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are groups of plants with seed, which means that they don’ t necessary acquire water for fertilization. These groups have made adaptations for sexual reproduction on dry land.
1) Gymnosperms (plants with the seeds are not enclosed in an ovary) have developed over the course of its evolution, structures that solved the main limitations present in the Pteridophytes in relation to sexual reproduction, in the terrestrial environment. The main changes that happened as an evolutionary adaptation to dry land are those on the seeds and pollen. The advantages of the seeds are: the storage tissue which sustains growth and a protective coat of the seeds. Seed is enveloped with the layers of hardened tissue which prevents desiccation. This is what frees reproduction from the need for a constant supply of water. <span>The sperm (male gamete) of gymnosperms</span> is enclosed in a pollen grain. Thi structure is protected from desiccation and can reach the female organs without dependence on water. Gymnosperms also developed structures called cupules to enclose and protect the ovule (the female gametophyte) which will develop into a seed upon fertilization.
2) Angiosperms are a group of plants which protect their seeds within an ovary called a fruit. Angiosperms have special evolutionary adaptations. For example, they produce their gametes in separate organs, usually in a flower, so the fertilization and embryo development takes place inside an anatomical structure. That provides a stable system of sexual reproduction largely sheltered from environmental fluctuations like water need.

I believe it is D. More African elephants today naturally lack tusks compared to the elephant populations 100 years ago, because big game hunters sought elephants for ivory.
Since photosynthesis is a process that uses co2 and cellular respiration is the process to create co2, if there aren’t any processes of cellular respiration to create the co2 needed in the photosynthesis, it wouldn’t happen.
Step 1 Glucose enters glycolysis pathway and glycolysis yields pyruvate, then pyruvate undergoes processing. step 2 Pyruvate processing ;releases acetylCOA which joins the citric acid cycle. Step 3 The citric acid cycle yields 2ATP and CO2 and also releases NADH and FADH2 to electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. Step 4 Chemiosmosis and electron transport chain yields 25 ATP molecules and H2O Oxygen enters electron transport chain and osmosis.
The first stage of cellular respiration is glycolysis. It does not require oxygen. During glycolysis, one glucose molecule is split into two pyruvate molecules, using 2 ATP while producing 4 ATP and 2 NADH molecules.
Animals use specific strategies to attract males/females in their species because for the mating process to happen, the animals must be attracted to one another so that they can continue with the certain circle of life.
