What else can I help you with?
Are mosses leaves waterproof?
No, moss leaves are not waterproof. They absorb water and nutrients through their leaves from the environment. This is why mosses are often found in moist and shady locations.
What trait do ferns have that mosses do not?
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
Do club mosses and horsetails have fronds?
No, club mosses and horsetails do not have fronds. Club mosses have small, scale-like leaves and horsetails have hollow, jointed stems with tiny leaves arranged in whorls.
Does mosses have stemsrootsor leaves and why?
no because they don't grow by seed.that's why.
Do moss have leaves, and if so, what is the structure and function of these leaves in moss plants?
Mosses do not have true leaves like other plants. Instead, they have small, simple structures called phyllids that serve a similar function to leaves. These phyllids help mosses to photosynthesize and absorb water, but they are not as complex as true leaves.
What did mastadon's eat?
Mastodons were herbivores (plant-eaters) who ate the leaves of tree leaves, shrubs, mosses, twigs, and other plants.
What biome has mosses lichens grasses short small roots smll leaves?
Tundra
What are parts of mosses and ferns?
strobili, branches, aerial stem, leaves [microphylls], rhizome.
Mosses do not have true stems or leaves true or false?
Moss spreads by a variety of methods. Most species produce small capsules above the leafy part of the plant containing spores. These spores are easily dispersed by wind, water or traffic. After coming into contact with soil, they germinate and form a plant-like structure that is the first stage in the development of moss. Moisture and minerals are absorbed by rhizoids (similar to roots) and produce new buds which give rise to new stems.
Do all plants have leaves, or are there some exceptions to this common characteristic?
Not all plants have leaves. Some plants, like mosses and ferns, do not have true leaves but instead have structures that serve similar functions.
What do mosses lack that ferns have?
Mosses lack vascular tissues, such as xylem and phloem, which are present in ferns. This absence limits mosses in their ability to transport water and nutrients efficiently, restricting their size and habitat. Additionally, ferns have true roots, stems, and leaves, while mosses have simpler structures, relying on diffusion for water and nutrient absorption.
What are examples of lycophyta?
Examples of lycophytes include club mosses, spike mosses, and quillworts. These plants are small and typically have creeping or upright stems with small leaves. Lycophytes are considered some of the oldest vascular plants.
