A scientist traversing a remote wooded area discovers what he thinks is a new plant species. He makes observations of the plant, discovers that it produces a nut similar to an acorn, and concludes it is what type of plant?

a. Gymnosperms
b. Angiosperms
c. Brynophytes
d. Pteridophytes

b. Angiosperm

Explanation:

Acorn is the fruit of oak tree. It is a nut and bears only one seed.

Since the scientist finds that the fruit produced on the tree is a nut then it is obviously an angiosperm because:

The only groups of seeded plant are Gymnosperms and Angiosperms.

Gymnosperms produce cones and have naked seed.

The seed produced within a fruit is a characteristic of angiosperm.

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.

b. climate change will cause an increase in biodiversity of all ecosystems.
