Your basic vascular plant parts are roots, shoots, stems, and leaves. Of course, there's a wealth of variety within these types or parts, but it boils down to those four. Each part has distinct functions. Together, these parts reflect how vascular plants evolved to inhabit two distinct environments at the same time: the soil and the air. Why would plants do such a thing? The soil offers water and vital minerals. The air offers carbon dioxide and the energy of sunlight. To forge the successful lifestyles they enjoy today, plants evolved systems to tap into all these resources, both above and below the ground. In short, plants evolved roots and shoots. Shoots, in turn, can develop stems and leaves

How does water keep plant cells turgid?
plants become turgid by osmosis. they soak up the water from the soil and then use this water for strength and support in their stems so that they can stand up in the sunlight and get food from photosynthesis and also get energy.
Where plants live with soft and hollow stems?
(Arthrophytes ) Plant stems are filled with hollow tubes that run parallel to the stem. These tubes use pressure to transport water to areas of the plant that need it.
What are 2 plants whose leaves you use for food 2 whose stems we use for food and 2 whose roots you use for food?
Leaves: Lettuce, Cabbage Stems: Celery, Parsley, sugar cane Roots: Carrots, Potato (although not a true root), radish Seeds: Rice, wheat, corn Flowers: Cauliflower, broccoli
What do plants that use photosynthesis and plants that use sugar for energy have in common?
they are both plants
What do humans rely on plants to make for them?
Humans rely on the plants' use of photosynthesis for several "keep us alive" reasonsphotosynthesis has removed carbon dioxide from the air allowing the development of an oxygen atmosphere. This allows us to breathe and prevents serious overheating of the planetplants use the same photosynthesis to make sugars and other starches to feed humans and the animals that we all eatpants make cellulose stems which humans use for chemicals, building supplies. fuel and soil conditioning
How do animals use nonvascular plants?
Animals use nonvascular plants for one main purpose. This purpose is food. Many herbivores feed on moss and ferns, which are non vascular plants.
What characteristics did Aristotle use to divide plants into groups?
He characterized them by their stems.
What are the two main characteristics scientist use when classifying plants?
vascular, nonvascular and adaptation
Compare and contrast vascular and nonvascular plants.?
Plants vascular have tubelike structures that carry water, nutrients and substances throughout the plant; Plant non vascular do not have these tubelike structures and use other ways to move water and substances. Terry Abraham, 11 ans
How do plants use Fibonacci?
the numbers branches, stems, petals coincide with the Fibonacci sequence.
Meaning of thatch?
Thatch is the use of stems of plants - usually reeds - for roofing material.
Where do cactus plants store starch?
Cactus plants use their stems for storage. So that's where starches are stored. In fact, stems are where a cactus plant stores everything. Other, non cactus plants may use their roots for storage. But cactus roots are much too fibrous and shallow.
What plants have stems you use for food?
The most commonly eaten would be asparagus, celery, and rhubarb.
Why do nonvascular plants use osmosis to transfer nutrients?
Due to absence of conducting tissue in the form of xylem and phloem
Why do plants need the energy of sunlight?
Plants need sunlight to perform photosynthesis, they use this to stay alive, they absorb the water through there stems and use the sunlight to generate energy from the water
What do plants use to capture sunlight energy?
I believe it's called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis the plants use the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide into sugars and other compounds.
How does water keep plant cells turgid?
plants become turgid by osmosis. they soak up the water from the soil and then use this water for strength and support in their stems so that they can stand up in the sunlight and get food from photosynthesis and also get energy.
