Answer 1

Hi L,

 

Rose, tulip and Spruce are not scientific names, these are common names. Here are scientific names:

 

Rosa: Rosa

 

Tulip: Tulipia

 

Spruce: Picea

 

Spruce is gymnosperm as its seeds  are not enclosed in ovary. In other words, it produces naked seeds and therefore, it is gymnosperm.

 

Angiosperms are flowering plants where seeds are located inside the ovary situated in the flowers. Angiosperms are usually flowering plants.
