Do seeds and spores have both multicellular and embryos?
While they have the same function- to reproduce- the main difference between seeds and spores is that seeds come from flowering plants (they are the ripened ovules of the plants) and spores are produced by non-flowering plants (they are tiny reproductive bodies). Seeds, since they are ripened ovules, have plant embryos with a food store and a protective covering around all of that. On the other hand, spores do not have stored food resources and can be made of one or many cells. So, seeds are multicellular while spores are usually unicellular, and seeds contain embryonic plants while spores do not (they themselves are the tiny reproductive bodies).
Why are mushroom spores so tiny?
Spores are usually haploid and unicellular and are produced by meiosis, they are not seeds and do not contain the "bulky" multicellular embryo and seed coat that encloses it of plant seeds.
Why are seeds and spores different sizes?
Seeds are typically larger than spores because seeds contain nutrients to support the growth of a new plant, while spores are smaller and designed for dispersal over long distances. Seeds are essentially plant embryos, enclosed in protective coats, while spores are single cells that can develop into a new organism under suitable conditions.
How do spores structurally different from seeds?
Spores are single cells that can develop into a new organism, while seeds are multicellular structures that contain an embryo, stored nutrients, and a protective coat. Spores are produced by plants, fungi, and some protozoa, while seeds are primarily produced by seed plants. Spores are usually smaller and simpler structurally than seeds.
What three characteristic scienctics use to define a true plant?
1) Multicellular, dependent embryos 2) Apical meristems 3) Walled spores produced in sporangia
How are seeds and spores alike and different?
spores are not seeds and seeds are not spores
How are seeds and spores different and alike?
spores are not seeds and seeds are not spores
How are spores structurally different from seed?
Spores are single-celled reproductive structures produced by certain organisms like fungi, whereas seeds are multicellular structures produced by plants. Spores are smaller and more lightweight than seeds, and are often capable of surviving in adverse conditions for long periods of time. Additionally, spores do not contain an embryo like seeds do.
How are seed and spores different and alike?
spores are not seeds and seeds are not spores
How seeds and spore alike and different?
spores are not seeds and seeds are not spores
How are spores similar to seeds?
Spores and seeds are both reproductive structures produced by plants to ensure their survival. Both can remain dormant until conditions are favorable for germination, but spores are typically unicellular while seeds are multicellular structures with a protective outer layer. Additionally, seeds are produced by seed plants (angiosperms and gymnosperms) while spores are produced by a wider range of plants, including ferns, mosses, and fungi.
HOW are seeds and spores alike how are they different?
They Have Two Different Meanings. Seeds: A Young plant nourished by stored food until it is able to produce food. Spores: Needs an environment where photosynthesis begins right away.
