Can only transport water short distances

∙ 14y agoThey are so small because they don't have any tubes... food made in the plants must travel with the water from cell to cell. For this reason, nonvascular plants live in damp places and don't grow to be large or tall. Your welcome.

∙ 13y agoYour question is hard to understand. Are you asking if non vascular and seedless plants are small, relative to vascular plants? A good part of the time, the answer is yes. In non vascular plants, there is little else but capillary action and osmotic pressure to distribute water to the plants body parts, so the plant itself must remain small to ensure all of it receives enough water. Most seedless vascular plants are also small compared to plants such as the larger trees, however some ferns can grow to be quite large. Some ferns are larger than many other vascular plants, and some extinct ferns grew to be massive.

Is poison ivy vascular or nonvascular plant?
it is a vascular plant because it can grown bigger than most non vascular plants, which normally grow to 2 to 5 inches tall. non vascular plants asorb water directly through their cells, and that is why they are so small. so of course poison ivy is a vascular plant
What are plants without vascular tissue to transport materials from one part of the plant to another?
Mosses - they grow on other living things since their seeds are blown away and they eat the plant from the inside out.
Would you expect a tall desert plant to be a vascular plant or a non vascular plant?
my understanding is that vascular plants are able to grow tall because of the strength and stability that the vascular tissue provides. so the tall tree in the forest would be a vascular plant
Can a plant be identified as either vascular or nonvascular by looking at its tissues under a microscope?
Vascular plants have vascular tissues, which circulate resources through the plant. This feature allows vascular plants to evolve to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack these specialized conducting tissues and are therefore restricted to relatively small sizes. Nonvascular plants are the simplest of all land dwelling plants. Like their closest ancestors, the green algae, they lack an internal means for water transportation. They also do not produce seeds or flowers. They generally only reach a height of one to two centimeters, because they lack the woody tissue necessary for support on land. So to paraphrase Non vascular plants have no water system to transport water around the plant. Vascular plants have a water system.
What is the specialised plant cell that carries water called?
Zylem, so easy
Can non-vascular plants be found around your house if so what do they look like?
You could possibly find non-vascular plants around your house. Non-vascular plants are plants that do not have leaves, stems, or roots. Algae is an example of a non-vascular plant.

Are there non-vascular plants?
More primitive plants have no vascular tissues (or any tissues for that matter), so yes, there are non-vascular plants. Mosses and liverworts (Bryophytes) would be examples.
In the plant kingdom vascular and nonvascular plants are known as the two types of?
I really do not know, so stop buggin me!!!!
Is a rose a non vascular plant?
A rose is very much a vascular plant because it has structures such as roots, stems, leaves, and vessels to carry water and nutrients which non-vascular plants do not have. Non-vascular plants have no means of storing nutrients like flowers do and they would die quickly if they aren't in a moist environment. Vascular plants include trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses. Non-vascular plants include mosses and algae.
Are bamboos vascular plants?
They are vascular because they have tube-like structures in them that carry nutrients through the plant. NON-vascular plants have no tube-like structures so they must be close to the ground. NON-vascular plants do not have roots, but instead have rhizoids. Edited answer: Because bamboo are tall terestrial plants belong to angiosperms
Are mosses vascular or nonvascular?
Mosses are non-vascular because they have no vascular tissue inside of them. That is why mosses need to live near moist areas so they can absorb the water directly because they don't have long roots to absorb the water.
What types of respiration is there for non-vascular plants?
Plants breathe as humans do. Carbon dioxide goes in the leaves and oxygen comes out.
Does vascular plants have a chloroplasts?
yes. chloraplasts is necessary for all plants to receive energy from sun.
What are plants without vascular tissue to transport materials from one part of the plant to another?
Mosses - they grow on other living things since their seeds are blown away and they eat the plant from the inside out.
Why are vascular plants able to grow taller than nonvascular plants?
Because vascular tissue is the transport system of a plant. if a plant doesn't have vascular tissue it cant transport water and minerals to all parts of the plant if it is big. So the non-vascular plant like moss needs to be small for sufficient distribution of water and minerals etc without a transport system. eg- moss
What is it about the shape of the plant cells that allow plants to grow to be so tall?
Vascular plants use water as their support structure to move fluids Non-vascular plants have to translate water cell to cell by osmosis but vascular plants can just move water through a plant like cars through the interstate
