Answer 2

The American Sycamore, Platanus occidentalis, is an Angiosperm. That is to say they have ovules entirely enclosed within a modified leaf structure, the sporophyll -- or literally spore bearing leaf. Gymnosperms are a group of plants with ovules on an open sporophyll, which are typically arranged in a cone.

The fruit is a spherical cluster of single seeded, non-fleshy achenes borne on a short stalk. Each seed is adapted to wind dispersed with the use of "wings."

Answer 3

Angiosperm - it's a tree that uses flowers to reproduce and has its seeds in fruits.

Answer 4

Angiosperm.

angiosperm=flowers and then seeds protected in a fruit. Leaves.

gymnosperm=means literally naked seed, no flowers, seeds sitting open in a cone. Needles.
