through the plant.

1. some plants, such as roses, use a _____________, which is the result of a fertilized plant ovule,

2. Phloem is the vascular tissue that carries sugars (produced in leaves through photosynthesis) down through the plant.
3. A seed is the result of a fertilized plant ovule and is used for reproduction by plants like roses.
4. Ferns reproduce using spores. Spores are haploid, unicellular structures that can be dispersed and form gametes for sexual reproduction when conditions are favorable.
5. Angiosperms produce flowers, and pear trees are angiosperms. Gymnosperms produce naked seeds in cones, and pine trees are gymnosperms.

Answer:

1. Xylem
2. Phloem
3. Seed
4. Spore
