(Adapted from Miller and Levine, 473) As the “flowering plants”, all angiosperms reproduce sexually through their flowers. Unlike the gymnosperms, the seeds of angiosperms are not “naked”, but carried in a protective wall (ovary) that will later develop into the fruit.
Structure and Function
Flowers have many of the adaptations that make it well suited for life on dry land, including:
The adaptation that makes angiosperms unique from all other plant groups we have discussed so far is the flower, the part responsible for sexual reproduction. Some angiosperms have male and female parts on separate flowers, while some angiosperms have both male and female parts on the same flower.
The Stamen is the male reproductive organ of the flower. It includes the
The Carpel is the female reproductive organ of the flower. It includes the
The ovules is the site of double fertilization, a process unique to angiosperms. It will eventually develop into the seed.
Examples
Angiosperms make up the grand majority of plants in the world today. Whereas during the time of the dinosaurs, conifers were the dominant group, angiosperms rule the world today. Here are just several examples of all the angiosperms we have:

The beautiful diagram to the left (courtesy of Team Angiosperm block C), includes more detail than you are required to know. Nevertheless, it is an informative diagram that should help you in understanding the angiosperm life cycle.
