🗑
Why do gymnosperms spend so much energy making pollen?   Because they do not have pollinators and are at the mercy of wind dispersal of pollen.  
🗑
What is a gymnosperm?   Gymnosperm means “naked seed”. They bear their seeds directly on the scales of cones.  
🗑
What are the structures found in a seed?   A seed coat, an embryonic plant: cotyledons, epicotyls, hypocotyls, radicles, and endosperm.
