1. Actinomorphic flower and zygomorphic flower: - Actinomorphic flower: A flower that can be divided into equal halves in any plane, typically with radial symmetry. The floral parts are arranged in a circular or star-like pattern. - Zygomorphic flower: A flower that can only be divided into equal halves in one specific plane, typically with bilateral symmetry. The floral parts are arranged asymmetrically.
2. Flowering plants and Non-flowering plants: - Flowering plants: Plants that produce flowers for reproduction. They belong to the group Angiosperms and have seeds enclosed within a fruit. - Non-flowering plants: Plants that do not produce flowers for reproduction. They include groups such as ferns, mosses, and algae.
3. Bilateral symmetry and radial symmetry: - Bilateral symmetry: An organism or structure that can be divided into two equal halves along only one plane, resulting in two mirror-image halves. This type of symmetry is commonly found in animals with a distinct front and back, such as insects and mammals. - Radial symmetry: An organism or structure that can be divided into equal halves in multiple planes, typically with a central axis. This type of symmetry is commonly found in organisms like jellyfish and sea anemones.

1. Actinomorphic Flower vs. Zygomorphic Flower
- Actinomorphic (Radial) Flower: - Exhibits radial symmetry, with multiple identical planes of symmetry - Parts are arranged in concentric circles or whorls - Example: Roses
- Zygomorphic (Bilateral) Flower: - Exhibits bilateral symmetry, with only one plane of symmetry - Parts are arranged in mirror-image halves - Example: Orchids
2. Flowering Plants (Angiosperms) vs. Non-Flowering Plants (Gymnosperms)
- Flowering Plants (Angiosperms): - Produce seeds enclosed within an ovary - Have vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) - Examples: Dicotyledons, Monocotyledons
- Non-Flowering Plants (Gymnosperms): - Produce naked seeds (not enclosed) - Have vascular tissues but often less well-developed - Examples: Conifers, Cycads
3. Bilateral Symmetry vs. Radial Symmetry
- Bilateral Symmetry: - An object can be divided into two mirror-image halves along a single plane - Seen in many animals and some flowers (zygomorphic) - Example: Human body
- Radial Symmetry: - An object can be divided into multiple identical planes of symmetry - Seen in many plants (actinomorphic flowers), invertebrates, and marine animals - Example: Starfish
