Which statements describe characteristics that are common to both gymnosperms and angiosperms? Check all that apply.They have roots, stems, and leaves for nutrient transport.They have flowers.They are autotrophs.They rely on diffusion for nutrient transport.They are heterotrophs.They have seeds.

Both gymnosperms and angiosperms are vascular plants, so they have roots, stems, and leaves with tissues that transport water and nutrients. They make their own food through photosynthesis, which makes them autotrophs, and both groups reproduce using seeds. Flowers are characteristic of angiosperms, not gymnosperms, and these plants do not rely only on diffusion for nutrient transport.
