To determine which row in the table accurately categorizes the plants as gymnosperms and angiosperms, we can look at the characteristics of these two groups:
1. Gymnosperms:
- Examples of gymnosperms include conifers (such as pine trees), cycads, and ginkgos.
- Gymnosperms are plants that have seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit. They are often cone-bearing.
2. Angiosperms:
- Examples of angiosperms include flowering plants, grains, and fruit trees.
- Angiosperms are plants that have seeds enclosed within an ovary or fruit. They produce flowers for reproduction.
We need to match these characteristics with one of the listed options (A, B, C, D).
Let's analyze each row:
- Row A:
- Gymnosperms are associated with "Flowering plants, grains, and fruit trees".
- Angiosperms are associated with "Conifers, cycads, and gingkos".
This does not align with the correct categorizations. Angiosperms should include flowering plants.
- Row B:
- Gymnosperms include "Conifers, cycads, and gingkos".
- Angiosperms include "Flowering plants, grains, and fruit trees".
This matches the correct categorizations of gymnosperms and angiosperms.
- Row C:
- Gymnosperms include "Fruit trees, cycads, and grains".
- Angiosperms include "Fruit trees, conifers, and cycads".
This does not correctly categorize both groups.
- Row D:
- Gymnosperms include "Conifers, cycads, and ginkgos".
- Angiosperms include "Conifers, ginkgos, and flowering plants".
This does not correctly categorize both groups. Conifers and ginkgos are gymnosperms, not angiosperms.
After reviewing all the options, the correct row that accurately categorizes the plants as gymnosperms and angiosperms is:
Row B:
- Gymnosperms: Conifers, cycads, and ginkgos
- Angiosperms: Flowering plants, grains, and fruit trees
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B
