Differences between Angiosperms and Gymnosperms? What makes them unique?

Angiosperms are believed to have evolved from gymnosperms. A significant difference between the angiosperm and the gymnosperm is that the angiosperms contain large water-conducting vessels in their wood whereas the gymnosperms have small conducting tubes (Rice, 2009). Additionally, the life cycle of angiosperms is much faster than that for gymnosperms. Fertilization in angiosperms may take a few days whereas in gymnosperms fertilization may take up to a year (Rice, 2009). The unique feature that makes angiosperms different from gymnosperms is that angiosperms have double fertilization (Rice, 2009).

In the contemporary world, the need for enhanced performance in regard to environmental conservation has increased (Zamagni 2012). This has necessitated the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) to identify the effect of corporate processes on the environment. Essentially, LCA refers to the method used to analyze the impact that the production process and the product have on the environment (Diaz & Anton, 2014). According to Epstein & Buhovac (2014), corporates must ensure environmental diligence not only because there are government regulations, but also because it is part of the companies' moral obligations. In this light, therefore, Wal-Mart is among the ...

Critical thinking

Critical Thinking
This is the intellectually disciplined process of observing, analysing and creating ideas. Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way. The world has very few critical thinkers who always try to live reasonably, rationally and empathetically. They are often aware of human nature and the kind of thinking that emanates from it. If left unchecked, irrational human counterparts are often on a path to destruction. This is where critical thinkers come in. Critical thinkers swoop in and think diligently, analyse the situations at hand and give ...

The analysts attributed the success of McDonald’s to the “Plan to ...

Robyn Wright has been considered by some as one of the best journalists covering the Arab world; the opinion is based on her several decades of writing about the region.

Wright has traveled throughout the regions of the world where the Islam religion is the most popularly worshipped religion. From 1973 until now she has traveled to most of the fifty seven nations to report on explosive events which she describes as “wars, military coups, revolutions, ...
