Mosses and ferns are plants that reproduce using what?
Spores.
What do ferns and mosses have in common?
Mosses and Ferns both reproduce using spores instead of seeds or flowers. Mosses and Ferns are both plants. Mosses and Ferns are both made up of cells. Mosses and Ferns both photosynthesize.
Why must ferns club mosses and horsetail grow in moist surroundings?
Because they reproduce using spores
Why must ferns Club mosses and horsetails grow and moist surroundings?
Because they reproduce using spores
Ferns and mosses are similar because both?
Both ferns and mosses are non-flowering vascular plants. They have specialized vascular tissue for the transport of water and nutrients. They reproduce using spores instead of seeds.
Which plants grow with spores?
Ferns, algae, spikemosses, horsetails, and quillworts all reproduce asexually through the use of spores. Spores must risk landing on a favorable spot for germination in order to be successful.Note: fungi reproduce using spores, but they are not plants being neither plant nor animal. also fungi can produce both sexual and asexual spores.
How do non-seed plants reproduce?
Non-seed plants reproduce like fungi, by using spores. Examples are mosses and ferns.
How are ferns and mosses similar to each other?
They reproduce using spores and do not produce seeds or flowers. They both use photosynthesis. They have a dominant gametophyte stage. Ferns specifically have a vascular system which means that they have true roots and leaves that allow them to transfer water and nutrients to all parts of the plant. Mosses do not have a vascular system which is why they stay low to the ground in order to use osmosis to receive water and nutrients.
How do whisk ferns reproduce?
The Maidenhair fern reproduces using germ cells called spores. The spores grow into small roots and then grow to be MaidenHair ferns.
What does not reproduce with seeds?
Mosses and ferns are plants which do not reproduce using seeds.
Can flowering plants reproduce by spores?
Yes the spores are like seeds. They drop off of a fern and onto the ground and sooner or later they sprout and makes a new fern. Spores are not like seeds. They lack a seed coat, endosperm and preformed embryonic parts. In addition spores give rise to the gametophyte generation and seeds give rise to the sporophyte generation. Ferns and mosses do both reproduce by using spores BUT mosses have a reduced almost parasitic sporophyte generation which produces the spores. These spores will produces the gametophyte generation (the green leafy thing we see). The gametophyte produces the sex cells that fuse to make a zygote. This zygote then forms a new sporophyte. With ferns the sporophyte generation is more dominant than the gametophyte. The leafy structure we see is the sporophyte.
What is a vascular spore producing plant?
Ferns are one seedless vascular plant using spores in reproduction.
