Detailed explanation-1: -Differences between vascular tissue of gymnosperms and angiosperms are: The xylem of gymnosperms lacks vessels whereas vessels are present in xylem of angiosperms. The phloem of gymnosperms lacks companion cells whereas companion cells are present in angiosperms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Companion cells are the cells found in angiosperms with abundant plasma and nucleus. Complete answer: In Gymnosperms, the phloem lacks both the sieve tube and the corresponding cells. Instead they contain sieve cells for food material conduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperms and gymnosperms are both types of seeded plants, and all seeded plants have vascular tissue. As the name suggests, seedless vascular plants do indeed have vascular tissue even though they lack seeds.

Detailed explanation-4: -The biggest difference between gymnosperm and angiosperms lies in their seeds. Gymnosperm seeds are typically formed in unisexual cones and are known as “naked” seeds since they lack the protective cover angiosperms provide their seeds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gymnosperms are vascular plants. They possess tracheids instead of xylem vessels. They have albuminous cells instead of companion cells and sieve cells in the phloem.
