Answer 17

I need help with how to describe this one. I have to write under "physical description"

Answer 18

I was going to write "Bright red flower enclosed with tons of pedals to attract insects like bees"

Answer 19

Yeah, I second the 'flowering plants/anthrophyta'. None of the other groups have flowers, surprisingly enough.

Answer 20

Sorry, I had a fire drill.
I think the physical description is pretty on-point.

Answer 21

Hey, I'm back and thanks :D

Answer 22

Okay so both flowers I showed are Anthophyta

Answer 23

http://prntscr.com/j67fwt @SmokeyBrown @vaporeon246 This one is kind of hard for me I can't think of a description since I don't know why it looks like that in the middle.

Answer 24

i think the black part becomes food for some animals

Answer 25

really!? wow

Answer 26

do you know what the black part is called its okay if you dont

Answer 27

I'm guessing they feed insects to attract them so that they can spread pollen on the flower

Answer 28

The following applies for sunflowers, but I think it might be a similar mechanism for this flower:
The dark center contains smaller individual flowers called "disk flowers". When these flowers are pollinated, they produce seeds, which does serve as food for animals as @vaporeon246 mentioned.

Answer 29

How do they make babies if the animals eat all the seeds?

Answer 30

The seeds aren't for making babies the pollen and certain parts of the flower are and maybe some seeds don't get eaten

Answer 31

so the flower feeds the animals to be nice or to attract them?

Answer 32

Sometimes, animals will eat seeds but not digest them completely. When they excrete the undigested seeds as waste, they spread them over a larger area than the plant could have reached on its own.

Answer 33

The animals might also carry pollen on them, but I think this is less important for larger animals.

Answer 34

so they eat the seeds and then they come out the other end to spread the seed and grow flowers everwhere?

Answer 35

Yup, that's how it goes. Of course, some seeds don't make it, but it's still worthwhile for the plant.

Answer 36

Yeah thats all I need thanks guys :D

Answer 37

No prob! Glad to help

Answer 38

@SmokeyBrown Is the sunflower the same phylum as the others?

@Shadow

Answer 45

@simplysadie

Answer 46

whats the question

Answer 47

All my plants are Anthophyte so do they all belong in the flowering plant division?

Answer 48

[Nonvascular (Bryophytes), Seedless Vascular (Pteridophytes), Nonflowering Plants (Gymnosperms), or the Flowering Plants (Angiosperms)]

Answer 49

those are the 4 divisions ^

Answer 50

I just did something similar to this but the question is confusing me. I'm sorry

Answer 51

aw ok

Answer 52

@simplysadie I figured out that since all my plants are Anthophytes there division is flowering plants.

Answer 53

1. Why is it important to know the division or phylum of the various plant species growing in your backyard?

Answer 54

can you help me with that question? ^ Sadie

Answer 55

It is important to know the division or phylum of the various plant species growing in your backyard to determine whether they will spread and ruin other crops and plants of yours. Not every plant is beneficial, so you need to know which ones to keep, and which to deplant

Answer 56

Oh wow thanks

Answer 57

yeah
