To determine which row in the table accurately categorizes the plants as gymnosperms and angiosperms, let's recall the classification:
- Gymnosperms: These are seed-producing plants that do not form flowers or fruits. Examples include conifers (such as pines and firs), cycads, and ginkgos.
- Angiosperms: These are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within fruits. Examples include plants that produce grains (such as wheat and rice), fruit trees (such as apple and cherry), and other flowering plants.
Now let's analyze each row:
- Row A:
- Gymnosperms: Flowering plants, grains, and fruit trees (Incorrect: these are angiosperms)
- Angiosperms: Conifers, cycads, and ginkgos (Incorrect: these are gymnosperms)
- Row B:
- Gymnosperms: Grains, flowering plants, and ginkgos (Incorrect: grains and flowering plants are angiosperms)
- Angiosperms: Fruit trees, conifers, and cycads (Incorrect: conifers and cycads are gymnosperms)
- Row C:
- Gymnosperms: Fruit trees, cycads, and grains (Incorrect: fruit trees and grains are angiosperms)
- Angiosperms: Conifers, ginkgos, and flowering plants (Incorrect: conifers and ginkgos are gymnosperms)
- Row D:
- Gymnosperms: Conifers, cycads, and ginkgos (Correct: all these are gymnosperms)
- Angiosperms: Flowering plants, grains, and fruit trees (Correct: all these are angiosperms)
Given this analysis, the row that accurately categorizes the plants as gymnosperms and angiosperms is:
Row D
Thus, the correct answer is D.
