Which of these gymnosperms are known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem?

CaHeK987 [17]

The correct answer is: [D]:

___________________________________________________

→ " redwood tree forests " .

___________________________________________________

Note: Let us consider the other answer choices.

___________________________________________________

Choice: [A]: "garden flowering plants" ; is incorrect — since these are not generally considered to be part of a true or traditional "ecosystem" ; and especially since "garden flowering plants" are, in fact, "flowering plants" — which means that they are "angiosperms" — Not "gymnosperms ".

→ Rule out: " Choice: [A] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice: [B]: " ferns and liverworts " ; is incorrect — since both ferns — as well as liverworts — are Not "gymnosperms ".

Liverworts are "bryophytes" {which lack true vascular tissue] ; and ferns are "pterophytes" ["seedless vascular plants"].

→ Rule out: " Choice: [B] " .

___________________________________________________

Choice: [C]: " mosses and horsetails "; is incorrect ; since both mosses — as well as horsetails — are Not "gymnosperms ". Mosses are "bryophytes" (see aforementioned) ; and horsetails are "non-seed bearing plants" that spread vegetatively [underground; by asexual reproduction — and Not by seed .].

→ Rule out: " Choice: [C] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice: [D]: " redwood tree forests " ;

— is the only answer choice provided that is a "gymnosperm".

Furthermore, the "redwood tree" is a conifer (i.e. "coniferous; or, "cone-bearing" plant} that reproduces through seeds spread by "cone") — and all "conifers" are a type of "gymnosperm."

Furthermore, "redwood trees" grow large and tall, and redwood forest communities within an ecosystem; due to there size and presence, are: "known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem."

__________________________________________________

→ As such, the correct answer is:

__________________________________________________

→ Answer choice: [D]: " redwood tree forests " .
