A student is studying a gray pine (conifer/gymnosperms), an apple tree and an avocado tree. After conducting research about them she discovers some similarities and differences between them. What are some of the differences and similarities she probably discovered? (Hints: think about how they reproduce, complete this question after watching the video.)
(Super super duper short differences)

Similarities:
1. All three trees are woody plants.
2. They are all perennial plants, meaning they live for many years.
3. They utilize photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy.
4. They all have a vascular system for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant.
