Which of the following is NOT a difference between conifers and angiosperm trees? (Select the best answer)

Options
A.Seeds in conifers are exposed or "naked," while angiosperms produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.
B.Angiosperm trees are very diverse, with around 70,000 species globally, while there are only about 600 species of conifers.
C.Conifers primarily use tracheids for water transport, while angiosperms use wider vessel elements, allowing for more efficient water conduction.
D.Conifer trees usually have needle-like or scale-like leaves, while angiosperms usually have broad, flat leaves.
E.Most water taken up by conifer roots is lost through pits in tracheids, while most water taken up by angiosperm trees is transpired through stomata.

Step-by-Step Analysis
Question restatement: Which of the following is NOT a difference between conifers and angiosperm trees? (Select the best answer) Option 1: 'Seeds in conifers are exposed or "naked," while angiosperms produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.' This is a classic difference: conifers are gymnosperms with naked seeds, whereas angiosperms produce seeds inside fruits, so this statement is true as a difference. Option 2: 'Angiosperm trees are very di......Login to view full explanation

Which of the following statements are true about lenticels? (multiple answers)

Choose the correct term from the pull-down menu. Each term is used exactly once. Support structures Rigid cell walls composed of carbohydrates such as [ Select ] waxy phloem cellulose stomata gravity carbon dioxide xylem carbon fixation lignin cuticle and woody tissue containing [ Select ] xylem gravity cellulose carbon dioxide stomata phloem carbon fixation lignin cuticle waxy evolved and enabled plants to grow upwards against [ Select ] xylem lignin cuticle phloem cellulose gravity carbon dioxide stomata carbon fixation waxy . Avoiding desiccation Compared to aquatic environments the air is extremely dry and poses a significant challenge to plants. Non-lignified tissues often have an outer [ Select ] cellulose waxy carbon fixation carbon dioxide xylem gravity cuticle phloem stomata lignin coating called the [ Select ] phloem xylem gravity carbon fixation cellulose lignin stomata carbon dioxide waxy cuticle that prevents water loss. The photosynthetic regions of plants have evolved [ Select ] cuticle gravity xylem stomata carbon dioxide carbon fixation waxy cellulose lignin phloem that allow for exchange of gases with the environment while regulating water loss. Alternate metabolic pathways for [ Select ] lignin xylem waxy phloem carbon fixation cuticle cellulose gravity stomata carbon dioxide  have evolved in some plants that inhabit hot and dry conditions. Collection and transport of nutrients In aquatic environments plants are surrounded by nutrients and water while on land these vital ingredients are found in different locations. Water and minerals from the soil are collected by root systems while [ Select ] cellulose carbon fixation stomata xylem cuticle phloem carbon dioxide waxy gravity lignin , found in the air, is collected through open stomata on leaves and stems to be used locally for photosynthesis. Water, nutrients and minerals are transported throughout the plant from their source by a vascular system that has developed in land plants. Vasculature that transports water and minerals from the roots is known as xylem while phloem transports carbohydrates and other nutrients from photosynthetic regions to the rest of the plant.
