Gymnosperms
Examples
Abies recurvata (bottom left), Pinus nigra (bottom middle), Pinus halepensis (bottom right)
Evolutionary Milestones
Gymnosperms posses three evolutionary milestones: eukaryote, vascular tissues, and seeds.
Habitat
Gymnosperms are in many ares of the world. They are vastly found in conifer forest in northern temperate lands in North America and Eurasia.
Anatomical/ Structural Features
Gymnosperms have bare seeds directly on the surface of cones. Their cell wall is make of cellulose. In their cells, they have chloroplasts used for photosynthesis, and a central vacuole that will increase or decrease turgor pressure.

How do they acquire
Gymnosperms are autotrophs. They use photosynthesis to make food.
What do they eat
Gymnosperms consume glucose make during photosynthesis.
What eats them
Gymnosperms can be found at the bottom of the where organisms eat the seeds and predators eat the organism.
Symmetry
Radial, bilateral
Mobility
Gymnosperms are stationary. Spores can move in air and wind.
Reproduction
Mitosis and meiosis alternates to produce the reproductive cells gametes and spores.
