Question

Angiosperms and life on land Many aspects of the angiosperm life cycle make flowering plants particularly well-suited to life on land. In fact, angiosperms are the most diverse and widespread of all plants. Which six of the following statements reflect angiosperm adaptations to life on land? A. Flowers attract animal pollinators carrying pollen from other plants of the same species. B. Seeds enable plant embryos to be dispersed long distances from the parent plant via wind or animals.C. In many angiosperms, the male gametophyte contained in a pollen grain can be transported many miles away by wind or animal pollinators. D. Floral parts of the sporophyte protect the reduced female gametophyte from drying out and from UV radiation. E. Fertilization in angiosperms is dependent on the presence of water. F. Seeds protect and nourish plant embryos, and fruits protect the seeds. G. In angiosperms, a gametophyte protects a dependent sporophyte from desiccation. H. Spores contain a supply of stored food, enabling the embryo to remain dormant until conditions are suitable for germination.I. Fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds by wind or by animals that carry or eat the fruits.

Answer 1

I. Fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds by wind or by animals that carry or eat the fruits.

F. Seeds protect and nourish plant embryos, and fruits protect the seeds.

C. In many angiosperms, the male gametophyte contained in a pollen grain can be transported many miles away by wind or animal pollinators.

B. Seeds enable plant embryos to be dispersed long distances from the parent plant via wind or animals.

A. Flowers attract animal pollinators carrying pollen from other plants of the same species.

D. Floral parts of the saprophyte protect the reduced female gametophyte from drying out and from UV radiation.
