What else can I help you with?
Do plants that produce seeds need vascular tissue?
no
Are sunflowers vascular or nonvascular?
They are Vascualar Plants because of there big root system
What are plants that lack tubes for carrying food and water called?
ricca and marchantia are two plants without tubes they are also non-vascular
Four characteristics common to all seed plants?
Some characteristics of seed plants are that they produce seeds to protect and nourish sporophytes, and the sperm of seed plants do not need water to get to the egg. Pollen can be transported by wind, human, or animals. Another characteristic is the gametophytes are small and form within the reproductive structure of the sporophytes.
Name of plants that grow without seeds?
Non-flowering plants such as ferns and mosses don't need seeds. Instead, they produce spores.
Why seed plants are more common than non- vascular or vascular plant with no seeds?
Non-vascular plantsnon vascular or contain none or less than needed vascular tissue.Seedless and most produce spores in the plant cycle.....Vascular Seedless PlantsHave or contain vascular tissue needed.Produce spores in the plant cycle.So the difference is....... Non-vascular plants are non vascular and Vascular Seedless Plants have vascular tissue!!!
What is the main difference between nonvascular plants and vascular plants?
The difference between vascular and non-vacular plants is that, vascular plants have tubes that carry water up the plant/tree, non-vascular plants dont have those in which case, they need to live near water. Vascular plants are considered the "flowering plant", non-vascular plants have spores and don't need to "mate" with another plant to make a new one, they just need to get their seeds off of them the right way. Vascular plants have a system of cells that transport water through the plant, non-vascular plants do not.
Having vascular tissue is an adaptation to living on land but these plants are still tied to the water as are non vascular. Why do these plants need to live in damp environments?
To have reproductive assistance from the water as their spores must travel by water in the reproductive process.
What should be regarded as the most single most significant structure leading to rapid success of the so-called higher plants?
Seeds. Simple. Before seeds, plants needed water to reproduce. Seed plants can inhabit a greater diversity of habitats than non-seed plants (ie mosses, ferns, etc) because they to not need water to reproduce. In addition, seeds can lay dormant for long periods of time. This allows individuals to wait for the right conditions to sprout (decreases mortality). Finally, seeds offer a better way to disperse offspring. Seeds can be dispersed great distances by animals, wind, water, etc. This is not possible with seedless plants.
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 are two ways that vascular tissue is important?
Vascular TissueMost seed plants live on land. Recall from Chapter 4 that land plants face many challenges, including standing upright and supplying all their cells with food and water. Like ferns, seed plants meet these two challenges with vascular tissue. The thick walls of the cells in the vascular tissue help support the plants. In addition, food, water, and nutrients are transported throughout the plants in vascular tissue.There are two types of vascular tissue. Phloem (floh um) is the vascular tissue through which food moves. When food is made in the leaves, it enters the phloem and travels to other parts of the plant. Water and minerals, on the other hand, travel in the vascular tissue called xylem (zy lum). The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil. These materials enter the root's xylem and move upward into the stems and leaves.
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.
